shaina..quest take time no doubt...so give time dont regret, you are learning thats most imp..but should not lag in schedule..so maybe when u read exaplainations be alittle faster in that..sometimes we know the thing but are just passively reading so see if ure taking unnessarily long..also I would like to tell u that I personally feel u are doing lesser quest...u are doing 25 a day..right? so increase that to 50-100. give 4-5-6 hours to questions and rest of the time reas kaplan..and in kaplan too not to lag far behind read easy chaps mixed with difficult chaps and try to cxover max on that particualr day. Hope that helped dear. tell me how it goes.
I wake up at 4am and start at 5am to study..read kaplan and I do questions in middle of day either before lunch or after lunch..then take a small nap ( since u advised) and then do explainbations...and after that i get so tired that I just read little more of kaplan and sleep..have been sleeping at around 9pm.
We tend to lag in our schedule but should take care not to lag alot..orelse difficult to cover then
today noon took a test of surgery block--> got only 58% got so upset that went out for a walk and then returned to realize that i lost so much time..did explainations real fast ..still 15 are left..will do 50 more questions and then review them too..and the read more kaplan before going to bed. Gyn is pulling me down...the chaps are so big..and Big chaps make me slow down.

it seems everyone is going slow today.
yes i'm back. but work not done. i have to go there tomorrow again
slept only for 4hrs and now my head is spinning. i wake up at noon but today i had to wake up early. i'll sleep early tonight so that i wake up early tomorrow morning. lets see if i can do that because its hard for me to wake up early everyday and its quiet at night ...so good time for me to study at that time...but i have to set a routine to be well prepared for the exam.
i guess i'm almost done with surgery. few things left. i had a headache so i was going slow.
i only did the theory. left the vignettes for next, FINAL REVIEW . thanks nikki for giving me this idea
now i have to finish few things left in surgery. and then start ob/gyn. lot to do. i have my own notes from UW and kaplan. need to do some explations from UW as my notes are not sufficient. then kaplan notes along with q bank q's. i'll start tonight. hope to finish my own notes today.
nikki shaina just keep doing your best. all these efforts will pay in the end.
thanks dr_clotaire for the encouragement.

thanks sera, Today was a horrible day for me. I will not let it happen again till my exam..I got slow and sleepy and got bored of what Im doing. I could definitely do more than I did today. I will not forgive myself and will do double tomorrow.
going to sleep now..tomorrw Im supposed to finish Gyne!! and was supposed to do more questions which I didnt..now tomorrw will have to do 100.
sera surgery is so nice and tempting..I will start day after tomorrw . BUT UW NOTES ARE SOOOO VAST...thats scary. 82 handwritten pages! it will take one day.
Goodnight and sweet dreams to me. u both have a great study time before sleeping and may u do more than u think.

HEY guys you are such an inspiration! You are way too hard on yourselves. A nap or a walk can go a long way. Sleeping and relaxing can cut on your study hours but you will be more productive,and don't forget the REM sleep and memory consolidation , 4 hours of sleep won't cut it. I'm sure you will do great. Good luck!

thanks usmile2.
if u were advising me to complete my sleep. thanks. i already sleep a lot. but thats ok because then i get up fresh. today was an exception because i had to go somwhere in the morning..so it disturbed my sweet 8-9 hr sleep.OTHERWISE I NEVER COMPROMISE ON MY SLEEP. but thanks that was really sweet of u.
to nikki...plzz dont be so hard on yourself. its been i guess 2 and a half months i've known u. all this time i have seen u studying and u r doing just great. u r already above 95 . u r so motivated and such a great inspiration for me and so many others.
everyone has some slow days....so that we can gain energy for the coming days.
so stay cool and dont blame yourself.
besides ob/gyn always makes me slow. u'll start surgery...u'll feel a lot better. its interesting and wont take much time.
i wrote i'll start ob/gyn but didnt feel like reading so i'm listening obs highlights. it seems i've forgotton so much.
today i did only one surgery chapter which was left and was too easy....and nothing else..and now the highlights.
tomorrow i'll complete surgery[ left few things here and there ] and then start obs after coming back home.
we should quickly wrap up things...revise what we have already done and get over with this exam. thats what i'm going to do.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL

FRIDAY April 27th.
thanks so much usmile2 for your encouragement
Sera thanks dear, I know some days go slow...let it be..there is alot that we are studying but alot that we are leaving too...so thats why losing time is abit painful and ofcourse studying every day continously is not possible too..we need breaks no doubt. I feel fresh today..slept a bit more than usual and ready to begin my day now. Hope to start surg tomorrw. today will wrap gyn finally.
Shiana yes I think Im going to subscribe for UW again. I have to finish the Q bank till 6th..and depends after that how much energy and motivation I have. Right now thats the plan though that I will buy UW and repeat questions with revisions of kaplan. that will be the FINAL REVIEW for me which I have to do in 18 days! Oh my God I dont know how it is possible..but have to do it that fast orelse will have to leave surgery and psych from last review coz these are always in the end and most liable to be knocked out.
Todays target--> finish GYN + 100 quest of Surgery.

Shaina, in my non quest time i read Uw notes as well as kaplan..if I just read kaplan I manage 40 pages a day or so..but when half the time Im reading Uw notes too or just doing more number of questions than usual I just manage 20. ( if im getting bored I just do 10-15 )
shaina dermat we can do from FA ...no?..if not FA I would have done it from goljan path..will see..it looks attractive in FA...maybe I will do it..but not now..some time later. finished my 100 questions of today..reading explainations..gyn still left...Im not good at some parts so was reading through BP. breast also I will have to read from somewhere else..Im thinking from where can I do that..I make lot of mistakes in breast and ovarian and testicular cancers!...if u both know from where I can read more on these Id try. will give 1 last day to obgyn tomorrow. for my full satisfaction in the subject.

hi friends
studies not going well today. although slept for 9hrs...still feel tired.
i almost finished surgery leftovers. spent too much time on surgery which was not my plan.
now started doing ob/gyn notes. this is the only subject for which i made UW notes. but i really dont feel like studying today. although i know tomorrow again i have to go to get some work done and this will waste so much time. lets see what happens.
i think i'll start doing q bank ob/gyn q's as i dont fee like studying.
shaina if this is the second time u r doing UW. do complete it as u should comlement kaplan notes with UW. do the q's or just read the imp. points in explanations depending on how much time u have after reading the text from kaplan.
i'll also look at derma in FA but later.
nikki about gyn... i do only kaplan and UW. nothing else. so cant help u with that.
i dont know y but ob/gyn now seems like a monster to me. u r almost done...good for u.
ok guys take care and good luck.
i hope i feel like studying

SATURDAY April 28th.
Hi everyone, Im ready to begin my day! Today will do psychiatry questions in Q bank and finish off obgyn, have some UW notes remaining to be covered from obgyn which I will hopefully finish today. Tomorrow will start Surgery!!.
Sera Obgyn is not a monster, u will love it. and might take more time than surgery but its interesting. so feel motivated before u begin.
all the best to everyone!! Here I go to my books.

hello
i did 100 ob/gyn q's from kaplan q bank last night without explanations.
today as i had to go to the passport office so i woke up early. THANK GOD my work is done. just one more day sometime next week to go to british embassy to pick up my passport. all this is wasting my time and making me tired and less productive. but i really dont have a choice..these things had to be done.
so today after i came back.....instead of dying with tension that so much time has been wasted... i relaxed a little bit and took a nap. more than half a day is over. i did 46 more q's and now started doing the explanations of 146 q's.
INSHALLAH i'll pick up speed in the coming days.
GOOD LUCK GIRLS!!!!!
