Thanks you very much !
Docnikki , you can ' t imagine how glad I am having a person like you to cheer up. After mentioning about ALS , I went straight up to Robin ' s journal to see ALS progresion and I was impressed and relieved . Thanks for the advice .It really helped .
I have a question for you docnikki . I see that you posted some NBME qs in this forum . Did you save them when you took the exam ? How did you do copy them in NBME . I was hoping to have them but I found out that they don ' t let you review them . CAn you please tell me how did you do it ? Thanks in advance
Eddy , thanks for your encouragement . I really apreciate that . I started since January and spend all day studying . My exam is JUNE 12 .
Well , today , I got kcnoked out with tearing BACK PAIN  and did not study a lot .
I did 46 qs in UW and scored 71 % and ' ve participating in forum discussion
I also read some surgery and listen to Dr Fischer 's cardio DVD .
GOOD WEEK END TO EVERY BODY !

hi doc_clotaire, it seems that you're doing great!
actually, I think it's good that you keep solving uw q. as much as I hated uw because it seemed so damn difficult, I miss it now. I believe I was studying more efficiently with q, while now only revising theory is kind of boring and I have the feeling I'm not assimilating as much.....my exam is June 14, so I still have 3 weeks to go and I really hope I could use this time wisely!
my uw is all done including marked+unused. I have some blocks left from kaplan qbank but I just don't seem to 'advance' the way I used to with uw... 
anyways keep up the good work! let's hope we'll both do our best in the next 3 weeks!

Thanks for stopping by klimt !
My exam is June 12 and I am trying to move fast with UW because I want to do my wrong ones one more time .
How many time did you do UW klimt ? That would be a good idea to review it COLD for the last 3 weeks .That 's what I am trying to do now .
Anyway , I just did another block of UW and scored 78 % and read all explanations , IT IS SO DAMN TIRING MAN but those explanations are so DAMN GREAT that I cannot miss taking notes of all the most high yield things .
Now , I am gonna do Endocrinology
Be back later guys !

well I did uw once + repeated incorrect+marked and then tried to redo it but the q kept repeating themselves and it was just not very efficient anymore so I just stopped. plus, I already knew some of the answers by heart...... I knew the q , I knew the ans so I figured there's no point in redoing everything again and again.
so I thought now I should focus on memorizing FA and IM kaplan and my uw notes. and I keep doing 1 kaplan block every day. sounds like a good plan, but it's so hard to stick it! I really hope it will work in the end....

good luck to you too doc_clotaire!
I wanted to ask you - what do yo think of FA? I find it good on all subjects except IM (Pedi, psihi, obgyn, trauma + musculoskel) but on the rest...information is pretty much the same with kaplan and the stuff that uw asked is not in either one of them...so I think I'm concentrating most on kaplan for IM and on FA for the rest of the subjects for final review...

Dear Nikki !
Yes , I did read the explanations but if you did UW explanations pretty well, you could skip them without being compromised or you may wanna read the ones you got wrong . Anyway , I found that thoses explanations are not as great as UW ones . It 's up to you docniklki .Good Luck !
Today I will start with one block of UW and Preventive Med , I got low score in NBME in this one . so I am gonna stress on it all day .
