This is my 999 postgringrin, and I will do it in my prep journal for a 99nod

I could close this prep journal but I think that people might benefit a little by reading it, and seen the things I have gone true to PASS the test, and that if I could do it, they also can.

I would love to visit everybodies people journals but because of time issues I cant, but if you come to this journal and post your question I will gladly try to answer your question.

DISCLAIMER
Im not a superman, and my grade might not be a 99 or a 85, Im just waiting for my result at this moment, Im just a guy that have try its best with a fulltime job,and all odds against him and sending money back to his family but never give up, you can say that Im in the USA a true IMG SURVIVOR.

PS no Im not that IMG SURVIVOR

GOGETA........I asked for your advice in your thread over in the support forum but I haven't got a reply from you there. Now I am asking again. Can you tell me about your prep for the exam like how long you studied, what materials you used, did you study subject wise or system based? Also, I have been preparing for almost 2 months now and I plan on giving the exam in December. What would be your advise in regards to how I should go from here on out. I will be done with my first read at the end of August. I would appreciate your input. Thanks and good luck on Step 2.

  #389

The first thing you need is when you are taking the test, so you make a temptative date.
then look at your situation how much time can you study and if you work or not.
then you make a study plan, I was reading everyday at least a hour or so, everyday and there were days I did not read nothing, then I start reading more and doing questions, and sometimes I was not able to keep my schegule, but BUT I was able to do something.

If I said read 15 pages and read only 6, I did at least somethingwink

I did my first read subject and then went system based, and then change again to a couple of subjects.

If you are almost finish with your first read start doing questions, remember that you have not finish but you need to start doing questions so you know what is important and what is not important.
If your test is in December try to prepare if the test is in october, so on october you will take a NBME test to see where you stand, and work your weakness.

So start saving the 45 dollars for NBME test.

Thanks GOGETA. I have started doing questions a few weeks ago and I planned on taking an NBME in November. I also was thinking about going system based after my first read. Did you use QBank and UW like everybody else. Right now I am using score95 but I plan on starting QBank during my 2nd read. I have been trying to put in 8 hours a day but some days I only put in about 4-6. I am planning on putting in a good 8 hours a day from here on out until the test day though.

  #392

Try to take one day of the week and simuated the test, So when the test day comes is just another day.
In that day you just do the test, and then you just go over the answers.
If you are going to spend money do not buy kaplanwink you are bbeter of with UW

Yes, here the Q, what do you think about kaplan physio Q bank, Robin Rapid review , BSS old Q ?

Also you said, week end simulated Q means every week, even , no study or read done yet or done well yet or after read well .

Also dl Q if you did, will not know your % level when doing real online one you bought, but will learn fr free dl q bank. What is pro, con & good & bad, right & wrong re that Q dl or online whaich to or not to do issue ??

More Q will come eveytime find some in each subj, topics.

Last not least this time re Anatomy , HY, BRS , net anatomy , web path, Anatomy road map, anatomy KL M... Moore clincal anatomy .. are those worthed to read .

Thanks Bro , I had add you on my yahoo already .

GL nod

  #399

BSS they are old and a couple of thing are outdated and the questions are not done in that way anymore, that is the negative part, now comes the goos part:
Goljan, Daugrety, Constanzo, Passo, they all work in this books and the Concepts are still almost the same with a few exceptions.
Also if you do Goljan Audio, there are so MANY questions that come straight out of Goljan AUDIO that you will benod

Robins did not use so cant say anything about it

Constanzo BRS is THE BEST PHYSIOLOGY book ever.

For anatomy I did not read alot but Neuro HY is the best and embrio from UW is the best.

Im confuse with this, but I will try to answer Also dl Q if you did, will not know your % level when doing real online one you bought, but will learn fr free dl q bank. What is pro, con & good & bad, right & wrong re that Q dl or online whaich to or not to do issue ??

Take a piece of paper and do the questions on it, then at the end just correct your self and calculate your %, if I did not answer this question please refrase itconfused

Yes you need to at leat once a week simulate a 350 question test and during that day you will only do the questions and then that day and the next day go over the answers, so you have STAMINA for the test, trust me, when I got to that block number 5=250 question I was shaking head

Thnks a million GGT ,
But can I bargain the last Answer .......... with this prep, we have already have mind squeezing, so usually week end at least 1 day is our relax stydy or , freedom days like this summery time.
Do you think we can come out alive, still in good mental , physical shape of stay in whole day long with exm style 7 blocks , timed , exm Q on one week-end day then relive it on whole next day by doing re-study that Q with answer . Feels like been tortoured by Saturday in the Adam family sad

I would love to do that , but I don't think it will work, help me , instead it might wear me off too early b4 the D day . So shouldn't we save energy for D day, instead of live in D day everyweek by simulated exm at least once a week, AT LEAST , even one a week is too much just to think about it , even have not really do the week end test yet.

Sorry bro, but will try after several reads , so with stronger knowledge to do the every week D day drill , so that at least my result will comfort me after all that sacrify for weekend outing or simply relax.

Thanks GGT , we should have support group to do that every weekend 350 Q days together .

GL in your st 2, do study your st 2 & also come visit us here some times .nodcool:
