hi everyone
my exam is in april.have done uw.need some advice regarding preparation in this last 2 months...shall i keep on with uw or get kaplan q bank....i am really confuse...please help me

do as much as you can, but you have to know the materials first. so I think that it is better to read books instead of doing all questions for the last 2 months.

2 months is a long time and u shld use it well.uw shld tell u which are ur weak areas,work on them first.If i were u i would do a quick revision of kaplan notes and uw notes with more emphasis on patho,physio.read first aid....

1.in the last 2 months do as many qs as possible alongwith ur daily read of kaplan atleast 2 blocks a day.

2.try and finsh qbook qs(they are easy).

3.give kaplan stimulated one day exam..score in 80s then final score would be in high 90s.u could also take nbme exam better score correlation with final score.u shld take these about 3 weeks before the exam.

4. if at this point u feel u have read ur kaplan notes well then i would recommend u do 1 mth kaplan qbank..do it in timed mode and mixed qs,2 blocks at a time which will help u get used to solving 100 qs at a time like in the exam

5 last 10-15 days just revise kaplan notes,qbank notes,first aid...u could also solve few qs just before u sleep...maybe qbk qs so that u still are solving qs

just sit back evaluate for urself ,there are lots of thngs u could do now to increase ur score.all it requires is time management which only u can do .just go for it and work real hard now.

I would divide my day in three. Morning to afternoon, I would revise kaplan notes specially their charts and figures including my marked or added stuff. Afternoon to evening I will prefer doing First Aid or Medessentials then evening to bedtime I would do mcqs from UW. In between I will break the pattern and as I draw closer I would simulate exam and try to time myself.
