SUNDAY 8th April.


Hi , yesterday ..I did 137 quests....on one set got just 50% ..was short of time and marked 15 quest randomly in the end, then the other two tests I did better scoring 60%and with 2-3 min remaining. Im improving my time management as you said Sera,..did few explainations..will do rest today.

Read a bit of pedia...though my target is 50 pages a day...lagging behind in that.

Shiana my NBME day is 20th...have to finish off every thing till then along with 60% of the q bank.Sera good that you attended the wedding, its always good to take a break and get back witrh full energy. so get started now smiling face best of luck!!

Today is a fresh day, I overslept a bit but thats ok..God give me strenth to read lots of pedia today and finish off all the explainations of yesterday's questions
.

"Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today" GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

docnikki could u please tell me what u think of FA for CK.i am 6 weeks from my exam.is it good?thanks.

MONDAY 9th April.

Hey justdoitfor2007, I think it will be great if u do FA..u have time too. Its a nice review book everyone is saying. But make sure if u are comfortable with new books in the end...if not I think it will be more fruitful if u revise your own notes. hope taht helps.

I did 100 Questions yesterday , 66% and 78% grin...but my usual scores are 65 or so, yesterday was a good day...wink. hmmm Im unable to cope up with my pedia kaplan notes..badly lagging in that...want to finish the book in another 2-3 days..maybe will not do questions today and try finishing alot of pedia...I also have to finish UW notes of pedia..OH MY GOD...It seems impossible..but I know its possible!!

Time is our most valuable asset! yet we tend to waste it, kill it, spend it rather than invest it!

GOODLUCK!

sorry guys. i disturbed my routine. now back with my usual routine. so i will be writing in the diary at the same time.
i did neuro UW q's yesterday. i had forgotten so much so read the explanations nicely. then did prev. med q's and heme/onc q's. left with explantions of heme/onc q's.
but today i'll start doing kaplan q bank INSHALLAH.
in IM i have ID and toxi q's left. and prev. med and toxi to read from kaplan.
will do all this along with peds once i get used to kaplan q bank in few days.

shaina dear....chill out!!!! no time to waste. we feel we dont remember anything when we r already not in a good mood and then the cycle goes on. just keep going. it will pay in the end.

nikki GL to u as well. i'll join u with q bank today.

TUESDAY 10th.

Hey Shaina , just relax and dont feel down..if u dont feel better its better to take a day's break than spending few days infront of books with bad mood. yesterday I got tensed about my possibility of completing the Q bank on time since Im also lagging in reading kaplan books and then tension headache followed. I didnt feel better even after taking a sleep. so then I just studied a little bit of pedia and didnt accuse myself at all because at least I did something. I had planned to finish pedia till yesterday and didnt..so now I will give myself 3 more days 7hrs a day. I also have to do 100-150 quest every day ..so thats why at times it becomes difficult to cope. But I know the word "difficult" is totally different from "impossible" So Its possible girls. what we think if we arent able to finish its not that its too much, its that we didnt manage well.

Sera glad that you are back to your usual routine. and glad that ure going to join me in kaplan Q bank. You are almost done in IM.

So My target for next 3 days is to finish Pedia from kaplan notes and from the vast UW notes...and ofcourse Q bank questions regularly. plz God help me stay focussed and dont let fatigue come near me. keep me motivated and energetic and plz aid me in completing my targets of every day.

"If you fear something, fear this: the impossible would become common and everyone could do everything and there would be nothing to shoot for."
This quote reminds me to be grateful for my challenges and if you have nothing to strive for, life would be really boring!


Goodluck!

WEDNESDAY 11th April.

Hello, Shiana keep going...most important is to plan your next day when you have retired to bed so that as soon as u wake up u know what has to come your way today.

Sera Do or die means we ought to do what we planned no matter what...so lets not get lazy!...Whenever I feel low I just open my diary and read my quote which I wrote for the day and it lightens my day again...or I just imagine exam is in a week and how much energy I have which I am not taking out from the reserve!

I did explainations to 100 quest of Q bank yesterday..and read My UW notes on pedia some 30 pages. ( I wish I read 60-70..total pages are 150)

Today's target---> To do 150 Questions of Q bank and finish UW notes of pedia. nod

" Push yourself past your own expectations and those of others. Once you think you have had enough, push a little harder."



  #37

today i will do peds,systems,
Gyn kapna text
UW elctro block.
if i don't work hard now,i might waste my effort of doing may 2 reads of kaplan andUW in a stretch.
thanks nikki i will folow ur advise of planing my next day ahead.

  #38

today i feel much better.
thanks nikki for reminding me what i was supposed to do. i dont know y we get off track.
what happens is the day i go to the library....it takes me some time to get back to studies after i reach home. i go there once or twice a week. its a good change and it has kept me going since feb. sometime away from home with all these distractions helps a lot.

ok about yesterday..i started late after reading the discussions of some nbme1 q's in the forum. its been almost a month i took nbme1 ....i havent found all the answers to the q's i did wrong. i have to spend some time on that before i take the next nbme.

after that i read the explanations of q bank q's i did the day before. then did another block along with explanations. and then did prev. med from IM and peds kaplan notes.

target for today is to do 150 q's and then start peds.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL.


If you have the courage to begin, then you have the courage to succeed. Never give up, Keep positive

THURSDAY 12TH April.

Hello friends,

Yesterday I did 100 questions with explainations from Q bank(my average is supposed to be 150/day .shocked. ).....I found I was making mistakes in ophthal so I read the chapter from kaplan IM notes notes again. Pedia UW notes I could finish 70 pages. Rest of them will do today. Its Easy but takes long.

Today's target--> finish the rest of the UW notes of pedia + 150 questions from Q bank.

Very good Sera youre doing good. and now u will also begin pedia...be fast from the beginning because it also takes time. Shaina how far have u done the peds and gyn? Obgyn will be my next. after pedia. 20th is my NBME day..and 8 days to go..have Obgyn, psych and surgery left!!!!! have to rush faster now.

" I don't think anything is unrealistic if you believe you can do it. "
