hey, edie. talk about exam jitters!! i believe that's what you have. personally, i feel you're ready for it.  your time is now!! don't let the right time pass, as anything beyond that will be past the peak, it may turn out to be a plateau or worse downhill.   [God forbid!]
if you have any specific reason, consider buying more time. but, your scores seem good, you're all psyched up, you've got your concepts down pat...........why change the equation now? you've worked all this time toward this date, why backtrack?
think well, but i don't think you're likely to get any better prepared ..........coz you're going that good right now.
good luck!

Hi Edie, you seem well prepared . I agree with medocuk that you should take one online MBME and find out your weak areas. You can improve your score on the real thing by concentrating on those areas.
Wish you good lcuk!!!

THANK YOU Med, Paheli and Unique1 !!!
My time is now, indeed. Plus, I gots no option, per my school  So gotta make the date a magic moment for sure. Did first part NBME form 4 offline. Well, fell short of my goal of 37 correct by 2 points, and those were 2 points I would have gotten had I been more careful, dammit! Thinking about doing form 2 online Monday. We'll see.

Ok, am feeling a lot better after completing the second part of form 4. Got 38/50 The q's on form 4 so far are most like those seen on UW, but are a tad more straightforward than UW. Just a tiny tad. It seems UW got hold to those q's and reworked them Need to take tea, then onward to parts 3 and 4. After that, I am DEFINITELY going to do a set of my incorrects on UW--don't hurt me, Mytime

Hi AC!!! Thanks for the reinforcement, definitely. Actually, it was 37/49 for part 2, I calculated wrong but just finished going over part 3, and 37/50 There were a few q's I got wrong that are pretty questionable but I am brain-tired now, so think I wil put NBME away until the morn. But the studying isn't over yet! Gonna plug into Goljan lectures, think I'll do the first two again. Ah, wonderful bedtime stories of cell injury, cell death and those bloody CAS-PA-SASES 
Good night!

Well, I am here! Still having problems with my net service, I fix it, then it goes kaput on me again. Hopefully this time will stay on no problem.
Thanks for sharing that with me, MT NEEDED THAT
For today, just doing the same old stuff, reviewing Goljan and FA pharm sections. Have not done my last part of form 4 yet. Will get to it later. Need to do another practice set on UW, 7 blocks, 50 q's each, just for working on the stamina.

Hi Sunnyshine and Paheli Today has been a positive day indeed, despite my woes with my net service. Knocked out several pages of Papi's HY notes, listened to the cell injury and inflammation lectures, then did a full batch of UW incorrects just to see if I got the concepts I missed before. And I did, more or less Went over some pharm from FA, again. And finally got the last part of form 4 done, 39/50
I must say, those q's seemed to have been keyed to the High Yield Molecular Cell Biology book by Dudek and the Kaplan biochem notes Saw a few q's that I have done on UW, word for word, one with the same pic even--what's up with that, hmm??? Saw fewer Goljan-esque q's than on the other parts, too. FA mnemonics came in handy on several pharm q's. Especially Inhibitors Stop Cyber Kids from Eating Grapefruit, Queen Barb takes Phen-Phen and Refuses Greasy Carbs, HAVe 1 M&M, and MAD 2's...ok, no more spoilers Have a good night!

Hello, and Happy Sunday
Went to sleep at 4am last night and got up this am at 8. No good at all. Stopped studying around 1am, but could not sleep so watched a movie. This morning, did manage to squeak out a hazy re-read of Goljan endocrine, my next lecture to listen to. Did a couple blocks of the 2004 qbank, reviewed explan's. Scored 32, 34. Just curious to see how I'd fair on little sleep. Today wanted to go over FA pharm again, until I know it like my name. Almost there
Am thinking about reading aloud and recording myself so I can "do" FA while doing other stuff. If you download the free Hi-Q recorder software http://www.roemersoftware.com/#Free-Sound-Recorde... and have a mic, you can record yourself talking and BAM! instant mp3 for your iPod Obviously, I don't have much time for this, so only going to read/record the concepts I am having hard time keeping straight, cardio/pulm physio. But for now, Goljan time!

Hi Kity, that tylenol advice will be followed, thanks for sharing that
Medoc, I'll miss yours, too Alone, sad and fat, eh? Show off!!!
MyTime, I'm married, so got the 'alone' part in check
Hi Acintya, I'm probably about to get lulled right now on endocrine, LOL!!!
Shwe!!! How are you? I like how you slipped in that liitle tidbit of biocehm into your post
Paheli, I sure am going to try to break that barrier, yes indeed But, the days sure are flying, you know? See you at your journal.
