need help from all moms given mle how did u do it i have 3 kids n have just started ck , how did u people managed , plz reply

  #2

Well it's hard shabee. There's a lot of pressure & you have to think that your studies is not the main priority anymore.. it's your kids, your family. It all depends on how you
manage your time but there are, there will be a lot of unexpected happenings within your life that has nothing to do w/ mle. It's all up to your perseverance & positive outlook in life. i can speak for myself I am almost all the time a very positive person but pressure in taking this mle w/ family gets in me all the time. it'svery stressful. So my point is .. be ready for whatever unexpected circumstances in life that comes along the way while studying for this mle. This is reality for us, with families. It's not the same anymore when we were just students & don't think about anything else but studying.
Good luck..

thanx good year can u tell me at what do u study dy or night

  #4

as much as Im free like today, it's holiday, no school so I tell my kids to do things on their own & let me study.I have been feeling sick for the past few days too so it's not good. I study from 9-1 pm daily during school days, then 10- 12 at night. Realistically that's my schedule. If I get up early to catch up, I am awake at 4am but I don't do that every day or I'll be spinning around when I'm driving to & fro the road.Just lucky I'm not working but it's a negative aspect once I apply for residency or for a job.
Anyway just study as much as you can. Kaplan notes, Qbook, UW , FA & Crush the Boards.

Passed step 1, studying for CK, I do what I can. Study every day from 6:30 to 8:30 AM, when the kids awake. I write flash cards and carry them everywhere. During the last two months I'll stick to the computer for q-banks and let daycare and husband after the kids.
Good luck!smiling face
