Me too!


Post-Exam Day 3

Ok, I gave in, began looking up answers. Wasn't going to, tried hard not to, but just had to know, you know? Of course you do nod

I had 4 q's on OI. Two were easy peasy enough, both about type I OI. The others required very careful contemplatation, asking what goes on with the pathophysio at the level of the cell. People, know your genetic disorders inside and out! With OI, know the diff between the types. Get down to the molecular level with these. Q: Which type of OI is most likely to involve a child dying shortly after birth due to resp problems?

Hi Shwe and KG, I have a few weeks break from school, wanted to get lots of stuff done before I start clinical rotations. Want to read a couple novels, see movies, redecorate a little. I did look up answers, most are correct, but that's just for what I recall, and of 350, that's not enough recalling! Wanted to go to the woods, but unexpected work w/hubby prevents that for now. ironic, eh? I was busy, he was free. Now I'm free, he's busy shaking head

I hope everyone is focused with studies, and committing to the noggin what needs to be memorized!


  #831

Hi there, very funny, Yang-Shwe grin

This post-exam period sucks. My fear is that the first block pummeled me so badly that it could either a) turn a decent score into a crap score, or b) turn a borderline score into a fail. And for me, I don't know which is worse. And I just feel like if I could go thru that block now, I'd get that same experience I had recently, where the q's weren't so bad, just me!

Ok, enough of that crap. Time to release all negative thoughts...NOW! Aaaahhhhh....better smiling face Now, to affirm:

I now claim that I have passed step 1.
I will be satisfied with my score.
It will be the perfect score for me.



  #835

Good that's more like u!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grin Ur job now is to visit threads who have tests coming up and encourage not think abt ur scores. That's not gonna help! sticking out tongue

  #836

Hello hello! Glad to see you are still here Edie...cos I like hanging out here....BUT PLEASE dont worry about the scores grin (easier said than done...I know)

Waitin to hear that you are going on a well-deserved vacation smiling face

Edie: I second Acintya's request. Hang around. Drop in some questions. Nag ME please..Don't tell my mother I actually have asked to be nagged. smiling face


  #838

hi edie .. good to see you are here..
I wanted some suggestion.. I want to know if kaplan Q bank gives extra info compared to KLN.. 'cos if its not the case I am plaannig to skip some parts of kaplan Q bank.. as I dont learn much while solving Qs.. I need to revise theory more often..

I didn't revise KLN for all subjects, so can't say on that matter. What I can say, however, is that I read through the content on UW much more than Kap Qbank's. What I found on Kap QB is that if I got a q wrong, I needed to know why, and was less likely to get that concept wrong again, esp if I put the info on a notecard or wrote it into FA. But much of my short notes came from UW moreso than Kap QB.


  #840

Hi edie..
Just needed a feedback..
Im doin my 3rd read these days..exam on 1st Nov..
Im scoring too low in the UW done around 700 Q n scoring around 45% in mixed timed mode..whereas my %age is much better than this in other Qbanks..Is that too bad..?
any suggestions..?does this decide wat i'l b scoring in real exam..?
Thanx

  #841

I think you should be at 50% or better to feel good. You have time to bring up your scores, so keep going! Try doing sets of 25 q's in tutor-mode. Good luck to you.

  #842

Thanx edie..
best of luck fr a great score..

  #843
