Hi nochoice,

I'm glad that you're getting better.

Keep studying friend. It will pay off in some days.

Since I am not good at English at all as it's not my native language.

I have tons of word to encourage you, but i don't know where to get started.

All I can say right now is do your best I know you can do it.

i feel like biostat itself is not that tough, but when they combine questions with genetics, disapproval

i read kaplan too, i liked it, only few things i found in uw new, number needed to harm, number needed to treat, its even in wikipidia.

lets study faster, harder, better than ever.grin

thanks sooo much everyone for stopping by. my friend convinced me (forced me to do High Yield) and it does mention Need to Treat but not Need to Harm so thanks for that AD. you're always so helpful!!

thank you KeepGoing. Hope your study is going productive too.

Scareless - you are the cutest!!! Thanks so much for though you have not said much, your message has been conveyed!! grin

papio, i've read 4 Ch out of the 7 in High Yield Biostats. I've been skimming it. Most of it is in Kaplan although I thought I understood those lectures but the theroretical base in this one is necessary for me to understand Epi and Biostats. For others who have not done it, I think the Qbank will probably smooth out any application problems so don't worry!

I know I am still too slow but I am going to finish the HY today!!

Good luck everyone and thanks for stopping by smiling face

what's up nochoice?
You should just focus everyday, every morning, on the possibility to do things right, this day. Forget past failures. If sometimes you find your mind wandering, get back at work and fast, do not lose focus. Keep in mind you are not alone in this journey! Together, we can ace the exam!

Thank you papio. I am trying my best to change my mindset and LOVE what i do instead of fearing it. I am also trying to block the anxiety of the EXAM and ALL that i have to do by dividing it into smaller blocks.
I need more stamina. I hope God gives it to me.

Good luck you all!

Do not pray for easy lives, but pray to be a stronger person. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers but pray for power equal to your task. Then the accomplishing of your work shall be no miracle - you shall be the miracle. Everyday you shall wonder at yourself and the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of god

hi
still haven't finihed HY. would've finished it except i started making my notes from it. i think my own perfectionism wastes time.
still, i don't learn the material that well with it. i know it looks so stupid when i write it down but i still make the same blunders. i can't change my study habits.

  #54

i know what you mean, i wrote notes from uw, wasted so much time there, and now i dont touch my uw notes,lol. because i dont like hand written notes. what a waste! i have decided from now on, i will not go into those extra curricular activities,lol, and i will rather repeat in that time, but habits are hard to change. GL to your studies.smiling face

hi
depending on time you have u can take notes ,
but if its getting too time -consuming , don't do it , just read on and try to remember
also perfection will come with questions so don't linger on one topic for too long
just do quetsions for it and it will stick to ur mind better

thanks. i guess the problem is lack of mental stamina or lack of discipline. don't know why i can't be like most normal ppl /studiers. i always get left behind or let myself get left behind. i don't want pity. i want to know how to do better.

  #58

the answer lies in ur name dear
when u have "no choice" but to slog it out , you will do it well
u know , initial prep i had so many excuses .. wierd sleep timings , eye probs , outings , guests , lazy at home , so must go to lib etc
but now , as exam is looming over , none of these excuses work
u know the beh science thing.. with moderate amt of stress , u will function at the best
i visit the exam scores thread when i get lazy , just to buy some of that stress
and u can try doing questions and if u get anything less than 90% ask urself "do u want a residency or not?" and snap back to studies
maybe 90% is a high goal , but be it so, since if u set 70% and achieve it , chances are u might get laid back again smiling face

nochoice, how are you doing in questions? i mean scoring. Dont be disheartened, if you dont like studying, do lots of questions. and set a goal for score. here, i am telling you all these, i myself is not studying enough, and i know this will lead me to failure, if i keep doing so. I hope, i become serious soon, holiday season is hard to study, when you have so many things going around. anyway, we will do it nochoice, keep studying.smiling face

Only u can know or learn what is good for u and what isn't. There is no formula for everyone... Every day u must identify what works for u, and keep it, and what does not and get rid of it. O ther people may inspire u, but u must find ur true learning style...

U can, if u think u can!
