Well I just went to macdonalds, yes yes I know bu I ate a salad. My dad would be so proud of me
any how I did 150 questions from the BSS also known as board simulator series, let me tell you they say that they are old questions, that the format is different from the real exam, and in the past they were harder than the real thing, and I think that now there dificulty are the same.
BUT WAO they are really good to learn from an practice from, and most of the things were things that GOLJAN covers in his lecture, and guess what, he is the main author, it was in some of the questions just lisenig to him about that topic, sureal.
SO I recomend those questions for practice
In the pass I always scored in the 50's last time was about a year ago, and I did in the 50's today I got a 63% out of 150 questions from heart,resp, hemato.

So GOGETA , are you taking that NBME thingy or not ??? Now you know that some people are following you in this journey
Your journal is very motivational. Please do not delete it after taking your test.
Good luck .

Hi GGT,
Which BSS? could you say in detail, normal, abn, body system I etc.
You recommand all or just specific one ?
It is 1997 one, so the facts are safe, ok to use to 2007 exm or not, any different in facts , idea .
As U said we are with you , try NBME for sure to know your stand, level.

I have the 1997 edition, and the concepts are the same.
100% the same.
Im planing to use the body system heart,lungs and hematology and then I will use the body system renal, endocrine, GI, and reproductive.
there where some really basic stuff that I was in between 2 things the correct one and the incorrect one, AND THEY WERE EASY. I just remember when people say how they forget easy things in the exam.
I will take NBME 2 for next week, 5 days before the test, just to see what I score, and for practice purporse.
I will try with all my heart, with all my strengs with everything I got, and no matter the outcome, I will be in peace with me that I try my best.
I will like to see a 500 on the next NBME, but I think I can get more than 450
Im program in my head for more than 500.
My job, well the 25 I will know if I still have a job, but Im in this country to be a physician, so if a job is something that I will need to sacrifice for step1 I will.
step2 and CS, I know I will pass with no problem, with o study I got more than 65% on kaplan for step2 100 questions

GGTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT..... As you said........
"..... I only have God by mi side .........."
 how about us 
Also the only thing you're sure now is.... you will go to the test, even though you're not sure .
But the rest .... no job, broke, broken heart .... all those , you do not know yet .
So stop wandering, focus focus for the sure thing, the exm & study well , go break the leg.
ANd for tense with the exam at the corner, have a nice long hot or cold bath, or shower or just simply run on the beach, in the park , on the block against the wind .
Diarrhoea.... have lomotil or immodium handy man.
Also lorazepam 0.5 or 1 mg , 1/2 or 1/4 etc depends on your tolerance or usual to beat the night mare, tachy. and NOOOOOOOOOO coffee , caffine , red bull, rain, or indian or hong kong tea please , to avoiding all that especialy the palpitation, tachycardia.ps , if not needed no lorazepam near exm or night before.
Have a soft , classic music, with no singing word in for your good night sleep with counting 99 only in nice peaceful calm rhythem.
Last , not the least , you are in neuro field, all are going to be ok, stop worrying & thinking do not know any ,
[ let us know here what you want us to read for uou , so will post, tell you summary here, right folks]
if really do try read as much as possible , but stop thinking do not know any that will block all you know since your 1st yr. med knowledge & up to date learning .
Relax, let all new knowlege to digest, absorb, & old one to reimerge and floating in order in your head , so will be easy to pull out on D day.
Wheew, whwwee, huuu, hmmm, yha yha, I know, I know it's easy to say, hard to do or follow , have some nice cold fruit juice real one sip or drink mate or just cold milk [ brain food like white rice] .
I think I will link this to mine , so I can remind self , near my D day too.
GL GL GL happy success study till D day GGT & me

this web site is the best & you're welcome GGT, any time.
Better cry & let it out earlier than later or closer .
Cry if moderate & short let you out inside intensity. Makes you feel better , if any one has watch the TV show of " Every body loves Raymond" , the lady takes time self just to cry to makes herself to feel better. Like you cry while you're watching the heavy drama, you just let it out with the story.
It is cold chilly , windy, rainy here too GGT.
All the best, GOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDD LLLLLLLLUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKK

Hi Gogeta,
I have been following your journal as well, and let me say, what you are feeling and going through.... I hear ya....and you have so many friends here wishing you well... of course without God on your side, NOTHING is possible!! So chin up dear friend, and you are doing well.... FOCUS and get this exam out of the way so you can accomplish your dream of being a physician...your job scene right now is a temporary set-back...
I was told to do this to free the mind: take a blank word doc, and just type whatever comes to your mind.. and I mean WHATEVER.... just keep typing till you can type no more.. think about odd things no more.... I titled it FREEING THE MIND and once I got it out of my system, I could focus on the task at hand.....
So good luck and keep at it!!
Please take care of your health and stay steady, pace yourself and ATTACK!
