Kity, you dear! Thank you for having faith in me. All I want is a 90, seriously. But I won't be mad at the NBME if they gave me a 99

Thanks Med, I did sleep well, actually, and up bright and early today. No more late nights  Yes, a few days left, know what that means? That means that it is time for the ....... Super Cram!!!
I have allotted today and the next 2 days for Super Cram. That means only FA and Goljan notes from this point on. From 7am - 10pm. I have told hubby that I plan to stay home exclusively for the Super Cram, so absolutely no guests allowed.
I have decided to do my last NBME on Thursday, the day before my test.
I will do the USMLE CD today, after the first 3 hours of cramming.
I will do 7 blocks of UW tomorrow, and the Kaplan Simulated test Wednseday.
I didn't get around to making my recordngs from FA as I wanted. Wish I had done that at the beginning! No use crying about what I shoulda, coulda, woulda at this point, right? And now, let the Super Cram begin!!!! Happy reading, revising and cramming to all of you! See you at break time

Hey edie so nice to see you at the break of my dawn. Sounds like an awesome plan. Yeah I have been told that I should do the CD as well. Which I too plan to do in a few days time.
Have a super super cram day and see you around.

Ha! You guys are crazy!!! And I mean that in the coolest sense
Just finished with that CD. It's cruel and wicked!
Block 1: 39/50
Block 2: 41/50 So far so good right? WRONG!
Block 3: 28/50--->Wtf?!
Those first 2 blocks were like the easiest q's ever. I was thinking "are they for real?" the whole time. Very click-n-move. But that 3rd block was from the deepest darkest depths of Hell, otherwise known as USMLE World. On steroids  By the 3rd or 4th q, I was like "It has got to get easier"....NOT! Almost every q was marked when i finished, and I had no time to go back
Overall goal for myself was 74%. Fell short, with 72%. OK, that's done, back to the Cram. GGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

C'mon now Edie! If you just brush up a li'l more with FA and Goljan's HY, I am SURE you CAN put some more questions into your pocket!!! 
It is good that you are training yourself for the stamina bit...so do factor in fatigue....
But congrats on the 72%
CRAM CRAM CRAM...NOW!!!

Stand u will Don't start getting laid back," i know this "and relax in the test keep ur mind and eyes open coz they throw the wors when u are th elowest..................... All planned in that BIG EVIL world hence, never q. even the simplicity of their qs. KEEP on.
On the test day plz. Stay put! U got to do better than what u'd do here COZ that's just they way it is!!!!!!!! Even if it's just a single q. u got to PUSH!!!!!!!!!!! Reminds me about the time i delivered Surya! Btw Edie that's just half his name and means the SUN!

Surya...nice name! Your son is the Sun. Cool!
I just had to give in to my curiosity about block 3 on the CD, so I ran it again. This time, I had to kick myself. Those q's weren't as bad as i initially thought. I just got flustered after the first ones not being so easy as the other blocks. I let it get the best of me. So I ran the block again, this time, getting 35. Not that it means much scores wise. The bigger lesson here is this, and that is, to maintain the same composure at all times! I got so cocky after the first 2 blocks, and seeing one tuffy on the third knocked all the wind out of me. As Mytime alluded to, even easy q's will seem twisted and evil, IF you let your guards down. PEOPLE...DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU!!! Alright, back to the Super Cram Shuffle

Edie, your prep and your CRAM is so inspiring! I can't help keep reading your post.
Here is some explanations about USMLE CD answers. If you already had it, just make a skip
Good luck for your next NBME!

Well now, did a mini batch of UW q's, random timed, got 12/20 60%. Reason I did a smaller bacth is because lately something weird going on with my UW account, it seems to freeze midpage and the images won't load. During batches of 50, seems to start at around 25-30. I was able to do 20 without a problem. My sub ends tomorrow. Hope I can get in my 7 blocks of 50. If not, I'll do 7 blocks of Kap Qbank instead. Hmm, looks like my caffeine is wearing off. Good night all
