yesterday again headache. read slowly derma from kaplan and finished endo. did endo q's but didnt complete the explanations. so today first i read the explanations and then read hematology and did heme q's and now going to start heme/onc q's. total 95 q's. wont be able to finish tonight. i'll try my best to do as much as possible because ALHUMDULILLAH today i dont have headache. plzz guys motivate me to do derma from FA....so i take out time to read it. i have so many leftovers.....days are passing by...exam day is getting closer and i'm not panicking...i need moderate anxiety to give my best performance. but at the same time i wish i stay calm before during and after the exam and do my best. GOOD LUCK TO ALL thanks strength for visiting our journal and best wishes to u as well.

oh i'm sleeping 8 hrs and sometimes more than that. still wake up so tired. last night i did only 50 q's without explanations and then dropped on my bed. woke up after 8 and a half hrs. still tired. now i'll do the remaining heme/onc q's plus explanations. about the no. of q's.....as i dont have UW notes so i have to spend time on explanations thats y even after doing the q's its like reading a book for explanations. it takes long and i dont feel i'm doing q's. i have days....sometimes i read only kaplan book...sometimes UW q's plus explanations. sometimes both. i dont count how many q's i do per day. it depends on the time i spend on reading the explanations. i hope i make some sense. GL

docnikki , I did Kaplan simulated CD and scored 70 % overall . I recommend you to do it in just one day like the real exam so you can get used to the physical training needed in exam day . I did not do USMLE CD yet but I will do it soon , they said it 's easier than the real thing , let 's see You are gonna do fine nikki , keep studying hard but also try to relax a little bit because you can be overwhelmed by last day stress . Just believe in God and everything will be fine

May24th. I finished psychiatry today. Packed my bags too coz dont want to rush and panic in the last day. I will have my exam in another city and then from there have to go to another city..i'll be back to my place on 4th June. I will try to write my experience if I get net access in between. sera ur exam is on 5th June..i'll try my best to write it before ur exam. I will just look at the stats formulae..didnt get the chance to read stats ethics nicely...BUT tomorow after my kap exam I think Im going to watch daughtery on DVD for ethics and stats. I hope in kap simulated they dont have alot of stats. so tomorrow is my assessment day. Wish me luck my friends and I'll get back to u with my score.Oh god I wish I get over 72-73..i really want something to feel confident. I have lots of notes reamaining to read..my own notes, Crush and want to review imp topics from IM..so after the kap simulated I'll be going hafazard. GL sera and shaina. God Bless US!
