Hi doc_nikki !
Congradulation , Big Target and Big progress too , that' s pretty nice !
It seems like you are using the MOCK EXAM , I was wondering how good are the questions and if it is worth getting . As you know , I am just using Kaplan and UW but I would like to use other sources of questions too . Have you heard about NMS Step 2 ?
Can you give me some direction about other questions bank please ?
Thanks in advance and God bless you !

SATURDAY 14th April.
Hello doc_clotaire, thanks for dropping by and the encouraging words. Dear I havent yet started the Mock exam..will do after doing the UW ( 2nd time). I have heard that the questions of Mock exam are pretty easy and are by Adam brochert so they seem coming straight from Crush. I will try in the end and after doing a block will decide if I will do the rest of them . Apart from UW and Q bank if you are looking for more sources just for the weak areas you can do questions from harrison board review..I just did a few from that book and liked it....esp some quest were really nice...had to stop because then I had decided to do kaplan Q bank and repeat UW as everyone else does. But harrison did improve my CVS to some extent ( I was very weak). For NMS I heard these are now outdated and easy too..so i didnt try and wont recommend. I also liked the Condradc fischer questions which I have just started recently and plan to finish them till the end ( HOPE SO) Depends on how much time you have. there is also the internal medicine Q bank which has good questions too...for practice..though nothing out of UW or Q bank..but just for more practice. I hope I did not confuse you. .  ...Just listed those sources which I personally loved..Doing question is so much fun..but then we have to revise our kaplan notes too which is not that much fun for me . by the way when is your exam? All the best dear.
Ok , Yesterday I finished my UW notes of pedia-150 pages. but didnt do any questions instead slept early than usual. Yesterday I tried sleeping early in order to wake early today because now Im preparing to be at my best during the day instead of night to get the best out ofself during the exam which will be in the day. time to have a good study routine ( 8am -6pm)!
Today's target---> will do as much questions I can from Kapln Q bank with explainations. and a few questions from Condrad fischer. So today will be a quest day!
plz god help me cope with my targets and deadlines!
You must either modify your dreams or magnify your skills.
All the best to everyone.

SUNDAY 15th April
Yesterday was nice for me..I did around 70 questions with explainations and also read Crush( hematology). Shiana nice to see ur enthu..GL!! Sera I am just doing few Condrad fischer questions per day right now..just 10 a day or so..not getting much time..but yes doing little every day ..I think its better than not touching it at all. so Im pushing as hard as i can as far as I can. So u are too beginning pedia kaplan book..lets see who finishes first
today's target--> Reading kaplan Pedia many many pages. plus Q bank questions plus Condrd fischer questions plus Crush. GL to me and to all!!!
" Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential "
See you tomorrow with my completed target.. GL to all.

TUESDAY 17th.
thanks dr. luck that was really encouraging of you, ure welcome Doc_clotaire. Shiana I can see u fire today..keep up the spirit!. IM is very interesting..GI is big though..but dont waste time and u will be fine..Sera how many questions are u doing in a day....and how many hours do u read kaplan..have u started any review book?
It might not be Tuesday yet in usa but in my country the day has started and I havent slept yet...yesterday did condrad fischer questions, did the remaining explainations ( 50 quest) and then felt low and tired as since along long time I have been up all nights and sleeping half the day too too bad  . So today I have decided to stay up all day ...eyes wide open...and then retire to bed late evening. This way will get my routine back to normal of sleeping at night and waking early morning! Oh how I love to be disciplined like this.I did this for step 1 too about 1 month before exam..its really imp to be in the habbit of studying all day coz exam will be in the day!
I have 6weeks left..and have to finish Kaplan Q bank, NBME 2, in April. From May 1st will have to start UW revision..thats soo scary..lots to do..have just started reading Crush..will have to do it atleast twice..and need to review all the kaplans ONE more time after this round. For this round I have finished Im and on pedia and rest all remain. Oh my God!!! each second is so imp.
Keep working hard Sera and Shaina...and i'll get back on Wednesday Morning with my new favourite routine and big targets!
Plz GOd bless me with more energy with more enthusiasm and plz bless me with lots of positivity to ace this exam! God bless us all!
You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction

WEDNESDAY 17TH April.
Wow shiana great spirit. Sera you had a wonderful target of doing half the pedia book..it is such a relief to finish most of the chunk I know..but dont worry if u couldnt....do it today..you finished all UW explainations for pedia so thats wonderful..its not in kaplan most of it is so imp. and plz keep doing Q bank..or else it will be left over..and then u will get overwhelmed of the lots thats remaining. I plan to do 100 every day but sometimes do only 50..so thats disturbing my timetable alot. and thats why I panicked so much yesterday...but I figured out how I will manage....we have to stick to what we write on the paper. its difficult to achieve the big targets but lets try to make it and motivate each other.
Today's target-->Q bank quest ( plan 100..but lets see), pedia kaplan book, Crush and if possible Fisher questions.
If you really want something, you can figure out how to make it happen.
