Thanks mhl .....
Start over again ??? wow ... man this is a very big word ... do u know how hard is that ???
I should be continuing not starting over 
Anyway, i'm doing NBME now, not online, i've them on my PC
Done with Form 2 with a score of 33/50 , 33/50 , 32/50 & 36/50 with a cumulative score of 134/200 = 67% .... I have the answers of Dr.Eisha who got 800 on these forms
I don't know what does this mean, it is surely a lot more than UW score but I think still too low ... what do u know about that guys ???
and what do u recommend for the next step in prep.?? this is the Hardest part, usually we just study as we r accustomed to, but to study to improve urself, improve ur score or working on ur weak points !!!! I think this is a lot harder, and new too, so i need all of ur help out here, plz squeeze ur brains, i wanna c its juice coming out here
Jazakom ALLAH Khayra

mezo pasha i meant to start study after u set yrself for another date ,didnt mean what you get hehehe this would br very crule
my advice to you now after u finished now with kaplan you MUST MUST stick to either FA or Kaplan med essintials  ther r both awesome esp. FA ( i know you like it) . It would put the whole picture in front of you as you will focus on the extremley important subjects ,believe me its what u need right now

I've just deposited the 50$ in my credit today, i should be able to withdraw them tomorrow, and my extension application is complete, just pending payment, but i don't know how long they will take to process it and send me my new scheduling permit ... but it should be in the same day ISA, i'll keep u posted, just prepare urself to this date, so if i found later another one in july , i'll let u know so, we can make the switch simultaneously, where i book July appointment and u book August appointment .... How is that sounds ???
I'd have suggested that u book it for urself now, but i'm afraid that by the time i wanna take it from u, u won't find the september 2nd available .... just wanna catch all the birds in our hands
Don't mention it, may ALLAH bless ur dady and turns out to be nothing ISA, but what was the Dr's initial differential ???

No Mezo, I don't want this date, I was kidding ...., as during these circumstances I'm not able to study at all and wasting lot of time[ almost all the time], so thank god I didn't pick an earlier date from the begining [ really you can never know what's good for you, and you can never know what's going to happen in your life], I'm just looking for a date at the end of August so it will be before Ramadan....so don't bother yourself with my exam date, just focus on yours....,
and thanx mhl for the nice words , hope every thing will turn out to be good at the end

Yes Faddy, i scored myself and i got 67% in form 2, how is that ??? as u remember my UW was just 48% ... so, a very big difference .... So, i'm confused, is it good, is it bad ??? is it the same as UW, since UW is a lot more difficult than the actualy exam ???
Never mind mhl
It's ok if u want it Nany, as i don't want it too, i want one in july, but if i didn't so it is better than September ofcourse ...
Anyway, let's hope for the best, have faith in ALLAH, and do our best, if we knew the future, we would have choosen the present

Hey, Mezo. That qn regarding offline NBME score was not directed at me, but from what I've seen around during my Step 1 day, people with higher 90s score ~170-180 / 200. About 150 should get you high 80s.
I suggest you take at least 1 form online [preferably 2 or 3], this will be much more accurate than any amount of offline score analysis can ever be, plus you actually get to know your weak areas. It's certainly worth the $45.
Hope I've helped. Good luck!

Why the pessimism man?
Actually I havent taken NBME before the exam so I dont know.. but I'm always hearing its the best predictor of the score, u should find out how they estimate it because if its 67 thats obviously not fine!

I told you Mezo, I DON'T WANT IT , I was kidding that's all...
and if I wanted it I could have taken it without telling you [ you forgot? I'm an evil person  ]

Thanks a lot Paheli for the advice, really nice of u ... I know that, and i plan to do Form 6 online ISA, but till i do that, i just needed to c how i would perform, how is it different from UW, and i beleive that these NBME qs, are also a very helpful learning tool, that we should use and don't only use it for assessment ... and when i got this score, i got confused, that's all
But thanks very much for ur trial to help
