hi dranagarcia, sorry abt the late reply yes i do feel anxious abt the test, esp since the uw is going slow, but we just to keep pushing ourselves , no other alternative, my score r sometimes above average esp psychiatry and peds, but many times they do go below average, the thing is i feel, UW is to be used as a study tool, so i dont worry abt my scores too much, and yes right now i am doing UW subjectwise...GL and by the way cute looking kid,,,in the photo

hi jana thanks for dropping by, was kind of feeling all alone in this step 2 prep, i am reading FA 5 edition which i bought in jan or feb 2007 i think, i do not know about the latest edition , must have come out recently ?? the one i have is pretty good for reviewing quickly though i didnt like cvs and reviewed it from B and w where its really superb, atleast for me. okay so after many short naps and 3 cups of tea i finished CVS, gosh, some days r just slowwwwwwww okay now i am fresh and ready to rock, i will strat genetics... happy studying everyone.

Hi doc08--Good going buddy! Why are you thinking youa re all alone!! I am there always with something or the other  ..Well , I have to give my CK in August second week--No other go! I have finished Medicine-reading twice and PEDS rewading once.Do you think is it possible to finish all other subjects + UW +revision in 2 months? Tough job right?

finished FA second read peds, feel like i have done something so far next UW questions, i wont do peds , fed up of reading it, so i will do med q,,,, hey sprint, so glad u r back on the scene, u r always welcome to write in my journal, if we can push each other to study harder then the journey will be less painful, i really feel u can give exam in aug 2 nd week, still 2 months left, but u will have to put in a lot of hours, i am also pressured for time, as i have more than half of UW left which is eating all my time, i have to give exam mid july no other go !!!! we just have to study harder, thats the only way,,, also from what i have heard we can apply for 2008 match up until dec 31, BUT if we want maximum number of interviews then we have to be ready with ecfmg certificate by sep 1st, so thats our goal, we can do it !!!!!!! GL

hi doc08, i have been following your journal for quite a while now.though i did'nt post anything before. i liked your study pace. and also because even i have my exam in the mid july. and i have to give it by then for sure. i doing my third reading now. and i also decided to follow first aid. i wanted to ask how you are accomodating firstaid and the kaplan notes and then the uw also.i really fall short of time by the end of the day and then the back log is carrying on to the next day.do u have any timetable planned for the next 3-4 weeks? i still have abt 30%of the uw to finish also.your feedback will really be appreciated doc08. best of luck to u !!

hi nokia welcome to the journal, i try to read FA first and then do corresponding UW and then i try to do kaplan notes later only on the topics where i need to strengthen my concepts, but somedays i cant finish my target and i lag behind, i am very bad with timetables, as u can see from my journal, timetables gives me tremors, and i never follow it,never have so i dont have one right now, i am trying to study as much as i can,once i finish UW i will make one for the last revision you are welcome to write here anytime, u can write everyday so we can study together and encourage each other to achieve our targets okay yesterday was doing good with UW mcqs when i succumbed to the temptation of watching 2 movies !!!!! so bad , with only 4 weeks to the exam !!!, anyway i acccepted that i am only human, and i will forget what happened, , and move on today is a fresh day, i have already started UW and done with 10 expla already todays target okay i will achieve my target for today and then write it...

hey doc 08 thanks for replying. and iam glad too, to join ur journal. yes even iam bad at timetables, i make one almost everyother day. yesterday as usual i was only able to complete only 3/4 of my target. so i have kept one day next week to complete my back logs, before i start off with another subject. hey good thing that u watched a movie.it gives a good break , and then u feel refreshed to start all over again. even i do that sometimes. so i will hopefully write in ur journal everyday. for today my targets are: cns from kaplan notes n firstaid. derm from kaplan notes n firstaid. and then the misc topics at the end. and then ofcourse,qs. lets seee. good studying!!!
