A simple and easy thing to remember abt anion gap is that anytime u have an organic acid present u'll have anion gap. Ganong's or bRS!!!!! Read it some place. ANd held true.

Hellooooooooo 
I have been up for a couple hours this morning, woke up and did resp q's on Webpath, then another set of renal physio q's with Kaplan. Got no sleep last night, thanks to the weather, was like a war zone with all the racket. Brain is feeling all fuzzy as a result so think I'll put off the NBME another day. I am going to do another run through HY notes and FA today. Will have to be deliberate and methodical due to my mind state. But will do it nontheless
Shwe, how nice of you to keep the song going!
Med, I am totally your avatar this very minute! Marathon? Nah, more like a light jog today.
Hi AC, up and trying to get at em
MY-T, thanks for the heads-up on organic acid and the anion gap
Going to turn up the music now and get to a couple pages of HYs. See you guys later

Spent a good deal of time looking up pics from the first couple pages of the HYs. Saw some very interesting things when I googled neurofibromatosis I can now appreciate 'zebra-stripes' in the cell of an acoustic neuroma, too. Am now up to page 15. Need to stop and close my eyes for about 20 minutes, then get fed, watered, caffeinated and back to work. Before I go, a question for all of you's: Is it ok for me to get mad when people get step 1 scores like 80-82 and complain? Yes? No? Just wondering

Hi Kity, the answers are included at the end of the document. You may want check New_n_Lost's forms in the path forum under NBME discussion. I have read somewhere that passing is getting a minimum 31 correct per per block = ~ 186. Divide your total correct by the total # of q's, then multiply by 3.
Just like last night, I try to nap today, and as soon as sleep comes, BOOM!!!! CLAP!!! CRASH!!!!  So what can I do now except continue working, right? Doing HYs for another 30 minutes then moving on to q's.

hi i read about corticosteroid and osteoporosis i didnt find any where to state that it is due to dec absorbtion of ca+2. i think it may be due to suppression of osteoblasts

Hello Journal, hello everyone
Amritt, you may be right. Medoc, hanging in there. Am having problems with UW this morning, and internet in general. Working ok for now.
On my mind lately is all that time I lost trying to study with all those wacky symptoms. Man, I wonder if I can get my school to consider that and get an extension? Because, I really do feel that I need more time for this. I am not comfortable with my performance thus far, I am borderline with no wiggle room at all. All I need is to be antsy and panicky at the Prometric center to make me lose points I would otherwise get if I were at home doing a practice test. So I pose this question to all my Journal World Buddies:
If I score the same as I have been on my next NBMEs, low 200s, should I go for more time?

I would recommend you pay for an NBME and get a real feel and then decide with an official estimate.
Also in the 200's you will only do a few points better not a few points less. I say don't extend as there is no end to it. You appear prepared.Go for it.
On the flip side, do what you are comfortable doing. In the end you have to live with your decision.
