Guys,

Is listening to Step 1 DVDs a must?

actually i waste a lot of time listening without getting much benefit of it.

  #1552

@ ahly,

What do u gotta watch is

Biochemistry & genetics 2002 or 2007 a must

Pharma 2007 a must

Physiology either version just to understand the curves

Pathology ... Don't watch them at all .. instead listen to Goljan ... after ur 2nd reading

Behavioral, Epidemiology & biostatistics 2007 a must

Micro ... Don't watch them

Immunology 2007 ... more than gr8 ... a must

Anatomy 2002 is gr8 ... i don't know about 2007

i got only 2002 versionconfused


quote Pharma 2007 a must quote



well that englishman who teaches Pharma in 2002 version is very boring....and talk too much about physiology and other irrelevant issues..

  #1554

the guy of Biochemistry in 2002 is the one who teaches pharma in 2007 .. u can imagine how gr8 it is ... especially the Autonomic section ...

Look, i found a torrent for it .. here is the link .. check it out ...

http://www.mininova.org/tor/1432890

If u need any help, let me know ...

Also, u may find them in another websites where people are sharing them in Rapisdsahre or something, i remember that i saw it once, but i can't remember where exactly ... just google them u might find them free to download ...

@ don_carlioni ...

There are Audios, but they are the same as the video, just separated the Audio from the Video ... can be beneficial if u wanna listen to them on the run .. gringringringrin

U r right Pathology in Kaplan is so Baaaaaad .. but we use Goljan Audio and the notes provided with it ... they are availble with the videos and u can download them from the net as well, actually if u scrolled back 1 or 2 pages, someone has posted a link to download all goljan stuffs ...

Also, if u scrolled up u'll find a rating by me for the videos

I don't know about BRS, i didn't use myself, but i heared good things about it ... better use Goljan ...

@ Ledo ...

Please don't over estimate me ... we was like u and without the help with our friends we won't be able to know all of this ... it is a way of paying back

Faddy is in vacation and won't be online for a while

GL

Tuesday>Wednesday>Thursday>Friday>Saturday>Sunday>Monday& gt;CK exam at the amidesat....
Plz guys,keep praying for merolling eyes
Hey Mezo...I`m trying uw plus kaplan revision..unfortunately I couldnt manage a time for Goljan HY pages...any advice in this last wk?....what u suggest to do in the last day b4 the test?to go for fun as some ppl say?or revise some stuff?

GL for everyone

  #1563

@ usmler,

Just leave the things that confuse u most at last to be fresh in ur mind, don't stress urself in the day b4 the test, i always heared that advice but never was able to follow it .. however, i don't overreview this day, just the worrying things to me, the photos, the important labs, CTs, q notes and if u have any time please please try to read Goljan even once .... like i said 3 -4 pages everyday, not so much, or at least read the pathology setion of it ...

one more thing, how was ur UW performance, if its subscription is still running with u, then try to do a block everyday of ur wrong qs .... this is the best way to memorize these concepts ..

did u do NBME & Sample material, how was them ??

I can't think of anything else for now ...

May ALLAH be with u, and plz give us ur feedback when r done ..

Good Luck

@ usmler,
ok dude i will ask allah 4 u.....but u promise to do that 4 mewink

look i wanna tell u extremely important thing.
it is totally scientific and i tried it myself
it is something to do everyday be4 sleeping to releive ur stress at the exam time.
i have learnt it in a human development course.
ok
here is it

everyday be4 sleeping u drink a little amount of water,
u relax in the bed,take a deep breath as deep as possible ,,,,,keep it 4 a while,,then get it out over a long time

then imagine u r in the exam(human brain cant differentiate beween the reality and imagination that is why u have stress response to nightmare although it is a dream)
keep imagining being in the exam every thing is cool and u r doing so well..

after the week is out and u become in the real exam u won't have a stress as ur subconscious is totally convenient wz the whole situation as it is here everyday.


may Allah help u
just make a deep intention u r gonna help our ppl
we all will iA.

@ Mezo...Thx for ur advice
My uw cumulative performance till now is 62%..I have only 4 days remaining in my subscription with ab 20% of questions havnt been done yet.so I think I should concentrate on finishing the unused rather than redoing the incorrect questions.
I did 3 blocks of the usmle CD sample;I dont remeber what was my score with them but I think that the wrong answers in each block didnt exceed 5.


@Ledo...thx dear for that method of stress relief..I`ll do it isa

  #1567

ok
i stuck to kaplan and 1st aid
i think i should read in the 1st aid after finishing the branch
right?

i wanna know if there is something like a plan or timetable to schedule my study and not work in a messy way??!!

@usmler,

Ur score is relaxing, u r in good shape ISA ... Ofcourse, better to finish all the qs, and if u can extend a week and continue doing the wrong qs will be gr8

@ Ledo

Man, u ask too much, u r so excited, just start, its ur own fight, just plan it as u like just keep in mind that Pathology and Physiology is 60% of the exam ... just watch the videos and study kaplan, then come back when u finish the 1st reading ok ??

I can't follow up with u more than that, I've an exam soon ISA ... Sorry ya man, just follow what i told u for now and i'll get back to u onve i'm done ..

GL
