hi, robin, do not be sad, I know you from your step 1. you are doing great. if you aim for 90's, you can postpone it. you have a lot of time for 2009 matching. do not rash. I am sure you will have perfect score.

keep going Robin
youll do great we just got to put all our effort into it. i juat came out with a new schedule and i am going to have to force myself into studying 10 hrs per day. theres no other way. i am slacking too much, so i made a deal with myself that no matter what else has to happen in a day, that 10 hrs are my priority. God help me!
you did great in step1, youll do even better in step2. we'll work hard but it will pay off. youre almost done, think about it, one more to go and youre on your way to your dream residency... one last big effort, it will be worth it in the end.
ill put a stop to my social life for the next three months and work strictly on my CK.this is the time for it!
good luck keep working and be confident youll succeed

I think it is enough for step 2, the chapter is very long (50 pages).
