If I renewed my UW AGAIN, I am afraid that even the UW people will laugh at me Since I was working full time till 4 weeks ago, I had a super long experience with UW, 3 months subscription the first time, then renewed one month, then renewed another month, can you imagine, 5 months total! Just cannot do it anymore. I made a full note along the way, so it is expires, it is expires.
Robin,you are right, we all need motivation, I will try to write down my progression too from today. Got to go my jogging now

Wow, 5 months of UW, you master it already, no need to do again.
Do FA and your weak areas.
Good luck.

I wish I mastered it already. The lenght of 5 months indicates that I was soooo slow in studying when I was working full time 
Anyway, today I am having a very good start. So far jogged 2 mlies, reviewed 50 Qs on UW(I also make short notes on FA and review the corresponding section on FA, I will use FA as my final review during the very last a few days).
Will send my daily review report after I am done today, plan to review another 200Qs!

I don't think my experience will help you because I only do one block questions a day. Most time I spend my time on review materials because I find out if I don't understand the concept and mechanism of that disease, I will get wroing answer again on UW questions. I can't just memorize the information from UW. Since I haven't book CK yet, I still focus on reading instead of questions.
Happy study!

I only did 125 Qs but did review some FA sections, plus made some notes on it. Looks like I will have a lot to review during the last a few days.
My brain started to reject the Qs now, have to stop.
Tomorrow 200Qs.

Thanks Robin. You are so productive as always!
When I did those UW Qs, felt like some of them I never seen them before. It has been too long and I had to use some reference book. Anyway, I am doing the best I can, and I don't want to /cannot reschedule this exam.
21 days to go!

Robin@ that is ok, you are doing great now. The score is not as much as your knowledge, believe that. I also score Cardio 76% 2nd time UW after reading. But I think I know the concepts clearer.
From now on I will not depend on my score until my NBME2 next week
Good luck

That is an excellent score on NBME, robin. Congrates!
Today is not a good day for me. I have been not studying well(feel restless). Had less than 50 Qs done. Try to do more Qs tonight.

How long do you think it will take to go over Kaplan note IM once? 2 days are enough if you are near the exam, skip info you have mastered.
I will do IM the second time after I next week.
I have just read all Kaplan materials once, but FA thrice, my own notes twice.

Finished Emergency in FA, now continue to do Ped qs.

Hey Robin..a q..how good is FA for step 2? since u have done FA thrice already, U can give a sincere opinion..I havent done my step 1 as yet and i have heard that FA is A MUST FOR STEP 1 unlike STEP 2..BUT you seem to be doing it at a regular basis..I read OB from FA yday ,after revising ob gyne from Kaplan, and to tell u the truth I dint find it gr8, and there were'nt any extra info in FA ,which kaplan or UW didnt provide, so i was thinking wether or not i shld be spending a lot of time reading FA for all other subjects,coz my exam is in the end of this month..
Or do u think, there are particular topics that is really worth reading from FA?
Thanks and GL
