thanks friends, yes, take care at Behavioral Science, i read the book like 4 times and still i got below borderline on the score report. i don't know what to do here, but i guess the best is to do as much ques as you can. also, practice time management , when you are near exam do every q on time, otherwise it is useless. also make a goal to get a great score, if you hope for an 80 you will get an 80. make a plan and stick to it. Good luck

I agree on your remark on BS. Usually (and I'm talking now to the people that didn't take it yet), after you do some questions, you'll have 2 kinds of feelings: some Qs you'll know you did right and some you'll be doubtfull about picking the right response 'cause there was guessing/educated guessing involved. Now, after doing a certain no. of Qs you have an idea about where you stand (procent got right). This is my experience with practice Qs and Real Exam. After the exam, as I wrote in my experience, I thanked God for not having tough Pharma, Microbiology and Behavioral Science Qs. I was partially right when I got my result. I was borderline in BS which stunned me because I didn't realize I got so many wrong. The conclusion: I too don't know which is the best strategy for succeeding in BS, but an advice would be LOTS, LOTS and LOTS of Qs from a LOT of places/books!

thanks Manu , you've been a great friend like every romanian here, and not only romanians. thanks to buddies from all over the world (too many to mention names, but they are all there in the 3 journals that i kept) for big support. and now i need it again more than ever. i have 5 months (the time that my son is still at kindergarten) to pass step 2 and this time i need 90+.
