I reviewed the subjects two times, 3 months ago then I stopped studying for family reasons. I have started to review again the materials today and I feel that I do not remember anything from my previous studies.
I will take the exam on July 30 and I can not extend it anymore. what should I do? what Kaplan videos should I watch? because I do not have time to watch all the DVDs.
Do I have time to read all the materials two times more until my exam?
PLease advice me, thanks.

The exam does not really test rote memory skill, but mainly concepts. So it would probably be best that you go over questions and work on weak areas mainly. Complement your final review with plenty of images for certainly there will be a few mri, ct, (basic) hematology slides. Pathophysiology is a big time topic.

hi.. i know very little as i am starting my prep but senios have advised me not to watch the videos. they only suggest watching behavioural science and biochemistry videos and pathology ones if you have enough time. if you have already seen them once, i don't see the point of going through them again as its time for you to memorise now.
i think you have ample time. just sit and study and start doing questions after you review a subject. i always feel like i don't remember anything. i have to FORCE myself to remember things. even if you feel like you don't remember anything, learn it now and you'l retain it much quicker!!
hope this helps.. GOOD LUCK!

oh also, i'm sorry to hear about your extrenaeous circumstances. i hope matters have resolved for you somewhat. i know because i face a lot of distractions and difficult circumstances as well. this is life, i tell myself - we have to make the best of it.
should help if you have problems at home if you can go to a library. i cannot so its hard sometimes as something or the other always needs my attention at home. but even stepping outside and studying outside the house for an hour in the morning is enough to give the day a positive spin.

Hi My exam is also on the same date. I think you still have good time to make it up. You can do one good review of KLN. Don't watch videos unless its very necessary like for understanding few graphs in physio or Behavioral few concepts in which you can just scroll and search and read the specific part. Subscribe qbank and UW and start doing them. Last 15 days, stop everything just do FA, Goljan 100pages and just flip revise the charts of KLN.
