Kaplan Med Essential, is e book , can be dl at support forum by GG , do it b4 disappear .
If to buy will be e book online too from kap, around $99 or 129$ with KMe & etc, check at kaplanmedical.com , i lost that track .

Stop buying books till all books or some books you but the one you choose to read done.
Oh p2b , I am seeing myself in you , did you used to parctice in pediatrics .

I had tons of books , I bought alot till this yr Feb, or march , but last one is good move .. I bought FA 2007, RR latest path, Robin Rv latest .

So if not ESSENTIAL , not essential, don't buy.
Do not buy base on temptatin or need or want , only check on line, forum, amazon etc then , decide to buy that one, go look at book store then....... try it really like it , also is essential according to this forum by almost every one, use commonly by high score or even exm pass, takers or retakers then go for it one book at a time .Finish it b4 go for another one .

STICK to one study style NOWWWWWWWWWW sis . Times up of trying style .nodnodgrin

Let me drop a line, if I can.

Actually I like Kaplan Med Essential, it's good for review, easy to orientate in it, bc it's a shorter version of all the Kaplan books. Like all the important high yields from Kaplan in one book. I think Edie described it well in her today's morning post.

Anyway, all I want to say, it is good for review, especially if you are familiar with Kaplan.

Good night Swe, take a good rest also, so you can finish up Biochem soon.

GM, Shwe! I wish I had a laser printer, I have only an inkjet that seems to run out of ink too quickly shaking head so I only print out the e-book pages I really need to read more than 2x. How's biochem? Are you doing any q's? Talk to you later smiling face

  #685

SHWE u are doing biochem.....nodplz ask me qs so i can check myself..rolling eyes....don't have to be vignettes. And GL with it. U don't come on skype these days. Are ur live classes over?

  #686

Wow , early birds, chirp , chirp,chirpery , chirp. Good morning still , right .

Thanks folks, always really nice to read GM greeting 1st thing in the morning, ok ok , when you wake up & read the journal, morning or not ,1st I thought, oh....... I did a v. good job , now I'm promoted to GM .grin

AC .......... I try to dl, save DR R , no success , so better watch now. Will be great someone genius can save video or at least the audio , then we can ask for it .
Do not worry abt bioch, I will write every word of Dr R.
Focus his pharm every word then we can twin up, though I already have, hopefully his every word of pharm .

ED.............still looking for laser one. All my printer become brain block, cause I ask them to print too many. So now all on break, then come back but not know when. It happens all time.
Inkjet cost , sad , even the store get money from ink jet, papers asking what are you doing, printing that much, businesss ??? I said proudly softly hobby disapprovalsad
He doesn't seem to agree that I sh print that much. My son second to me re print, ie he even print in color , it's in my gene transfer to him. Too bad, sh b skip generation or mutation at him re the print out alot fr pc, webs , etc.

Ed..... need any more Q , which one , let us know . You already good with most essential Q ... Q bank, UW , so do kap subj assessment [ not difficult like Q bank ] & simulated if into it .

Anyway, Q I will do ............ chpt end of kap , then..... kap Q book & will do..........
kap Q bank 1st ....for 1 or 3 mo may be online .....or UW 3 mo online... 1st, not decide
yet . Also the kap subj assessment, simulated.
Has v. old kap center Q 1997 or 98 & b4 in scatter , but not full complete write in my sketchy notes . Not even know will read them due to incomplet & my Dr's habd writing .
Wish we all live close by especially you, I also have NMS, A+L etc Q books that , not doing yet though not latest . By the time I got is v. famous of 80% appear on tests. Not know still or not . But come with blocks, time , so it's good. NMS is mix up Q, A+L is subj
if I remember rt .
Some did BSS, 1997, 98, too old , so I'm not sure will do it.
Summary re plan i will do ....near exm .... in FA, KME, your all LN, golj etc, Q ....in terms of HY , forget one...... sh review well to be able to answer even in sleep .

MTTTTTT , ...........glad to be your son's fvr AUNT .
Will ask Bioch direct Q , as kap HY facts, but not yet . Just to watch 28, 29 bioch that I do not have.
Rest , may be not, if to do anatomy with all of you . What do you think, mine bioch , v bad sound, like to watch all bioch on line that is really good quality , pl may I .
Will ans anatomy without study though as I will try my best .
re skype, now just on yahoo IM , that has voice pc to pc too, since most not on or have skype, so buz at yahoo, if am at desk can answer .

Since I already post alot 2 dyas , so will not post much today. So no fix days to post, just 1 to 2 a week will be good enough to visit all friends then , here & there as needed .

Hi, it's mid week, study study all friends , then may be off on week end .

Dear Journal re time spent here, plan to say something, AC already said v. well .

So I will only discuss re my side of the view here .

Ac , all good re time regulation ....except here at forum for 15 min, that unrealistic expectation like study few weeks, few books got 99 .
No way AC , been there recently, set limit to be here only 15 min, then 30 min, when not like that really beat you/me down & ... become either what the hack , then stay here forever or out disappear to study , but cannot do well , really miss family here.
So perhaps say set time for 1 hr stay here a day , then , you back to study in 15--20 min, that makes you so proud , good.
So not argue about time, though all are different, but re forum time...
1hr for 2 to 3 days a week to post at own journal, others as needed, , 2 hr once a week to ... for visitting all friends site browse abit . But put hr here down when near D day.
In between study break , can come here if really like to come for 15 min each .

But at kap or home when study , depends , me , like to do all continuous , like stay here contiunously , till need break then back to study , but do not be back to here if already has coda for the hr of the day , visit friends already , unless as needed to reply rt away of some.

So AC , agree all re time, but all have to do as own style & never set only 15 min here on the day of your days to post here, let say Monday is Ac's day , & mine is Wed but , I did post around alot so , will not do so for today . Also MT take care of visit all already . That's good .

So whose duty on tmr , MDU , Ed do visit all on their days already in this week I think.
So , do not have to be fix day , as I said as far as one of us , has ward rounds once a week to all of us , we all are going to be doing good .
Some of the day we might all post same days around or not at all , that's fine too .nod

GL friends , browse wise, study well & more , less breaks if your brain can stand nodcoolgrinwinknodsmiling facenod

  #688

Hi my dear Shwe , I did not write here in a long time but as I say to MT don't think that I am not keeping an eye on you winksticking out tongue.

So , left poor papi alone ( although he cannot be alone, he has a whole lot of admirers grin ) and moved on to Bio chem ? I was also trying to do biochem along with NA but could not manage it. So left the metabolism part for later and doing NA alone. Really relly want to finish NA by the end of this month.

How many days are you planning to give to biochem ? Have you listened the lectures before ? Keep us posted and keep motivating us as you always do . Have a happy study day .smiling facenodsmiling facenod

  #689

U , thanks for being here , pl come often.

Dr R. , yes has been with him video & live . Now like to listen one on google . Strat from last 28, then 29 that i do not have, but listen, everyword in my books b4, so I'm good .
NA , that not good to go with bioch, both are heavy, I tell all the time, heavy with light , harmony , together to get good smooth fast study . So choose bioch now online then NA later .
I will do same , will do anatomy Q just simply from recall, memory , so will be ok with Mt as far as we ans Q .

U............ pl NEVER , never ever left papi alone. Since I did unintentionally, for 2 -3 week. My relationship with him gone down to level ZEROOOOOOO , sad .
So he is the one has to keep in touch all the time, though you already know , understand all of him cold.
After few weeks away from him, all he said , even as concepts , words are as starnger as new, so glad I found it out v. early .

That is why one of friend said, he review all time , he got 99, 99 & residency of his choice, IMG. All his tests score unbelievably high both in USNLE & Canadian one.
He even grad much longer b4 than us, but he looks as young as 25 with his positivre, active, smile happy mood, helping all others in real life or webs .
Only time he freak me out with mood not that good is b4 interview, his prematch result out.
That's natural, normal .

Bioch days, U ... all my life , never count days, some days alot, some less, few none , but bioch need time , I will use all my hr to study so , will see how many days.
Done 28 , 30 min, that the start of bioch ..... so take whole chunck of after noon evening with alot of interruption.

If new fresh read , FT good 3 week more or less to 4 week if to write everything & understand too .
So...... New read or 2nd read could be same if do more serious listen, watch, read in 2nd read .:nod

But if have own dvd then , just listen one then two all words willbe complte in your notes, since 1st is quick write , read, listen, watch. 2nd is fill in the blank, sit back, smooth ride, relax .
Then 3rd read will get more stick to head.


All above are for IMg grad long ago , no more or same basic Sc concepts deeper like today .

No no i meant how many topics of discussion do you find. You are really cool.

Anyway studying more might be a good idea.

In between while studying stuck, or listening to the papi or audio or just need to see family here, cause I miss them orrrrrrr just simply boring with what I am doing with.

Basically this web never sleep , only me & some of us


GL MDU in your study & coming soon D day , Ed will be 1st or you will be

Ok , Ok , I will post less .



  #691

Oh MDU , you mean how many topics re in forum I had visitted , not how to manage to the discussion.
I never count or looking for, just answer , give help, give a hand , when ppl need help or ask me specifically . nod , not even ususally go back after I have help them .

Let me know if I get invlove too many, too much .
Thought today I only post here & a few , with few friends' site as needed . Will be less till Wed or Monday come as regular post day .

GL nod

  #692

Cause I am out for 3 week totally sadshaking head

So not few days, 3 weeks is just not much to post re studying.

Also I am not doing any specific subj . I jump , so if post what I read, listen, Q I did that will make ppl dizzy .

Like I plan for anaotmy, but bioch came so..., that's good though. I found out some missing in mine.

Also journal is for support self & each other too, like your dear diary . You cannot , better not post non-academic at others' . So own journal will full of life with you with your study .

Journal, likes your daily prep diary ..that including , what happen, what is going on your day, life ... while studying daily. Then I read back, I see big picture, so I learned good & avoid bad in study , life style , daily routein , be cautious about side track, fall out, get ill by stay too late , skip meal to study late etc.
So v. good track for me, will keep on write in same style .

The study list is on my desk , later in my brian cell that I change accordingly, by date , column, on the side of the page, but here you post, hard to change without able to keep old, original plan .nodcoolnod

See you all at regular on may be week end or next week .

Hey KG , Check your 2 pm fr me, now, sis stop being worrying too much . I do get it , deep breath in & reread all & pm too .grincoolnod
You're sweet communicator, not bad communicator. , expressive of your mind , our mind etc too .

Good night KG , time to zzzzzzzzzzz , here is 3:30 am nod

  #695

Good morning, Shwe, thank you for being so generous and helpful smiling face I have more q's than I could possibly finish nod Mainly focus on UW because almost done, but need to finish Robbins q's and more Kbank. I need to do more q's, period! K-IV q's are decent, a little too easy, but good review of basics. K-physio q's are great. NMS q's are ok, some really difficult. I even like the 5000 MCQs those are a really good mix. A little outdated, though, I think from 1999. But your commonly tested concepts are in there. So what goes in FA? UW, and some from Robbins, Kbank wink

  #696

GM ED , I like K-IV too , those easy compare with K-Bnk, it clear the picture .

Will have to do all Q K-Bnk, K-IV, K_physio, UW, Robin [ may be, but since my mate ED like it, will definately do it] . I do not know 5000 Q, do you means BSS ..5? books... it is ?? 1997 or around .

........ So all Q K-Bnk, -IV, -physio , UW, Robin, ?FA ... if do all , that will equal to 5000 Q .So no need to do 5000 Q or , still need to ???

grin ED , my morning curious Q to my mates .

Have a good productive study day nod

  #697

Hello dear Swe,

How is everything? Hope you got into the groove and started working hard toward the step 1 !

Have a nice day. nod
