hi everyone ,let me join you all

my is exam on oct 11.,chennai

i seemm to waste alot of time thinking what my scores would be?i end up looking at the exam scores thread alleast twice a day ,calculating how much would my score be if i got this much on UW.want to take NBME but not having the courage,if its gonna be low i 'm get deppressed.how are u all coping up with the stress or is it only me worrying a lot.

how to keep my self motivated and not to worry ,the last month is very important,share your views guys .we all are sailing in the same boat

Hi usmletopper
Welcome to the gang smiling face
Well v really r in the same boat..same frame of mind thinking same things even doin same things..i also open the threads almost twice a day n look n think wat i'l do..get depressed than get motivated...its life..so its nt u only..Relaxgrin

don wana stop u fm looking in the threads as they motivate u and make u work harder so keep working hard..Last month is crucial obviously and don b afraid of doin nbme as its the right tool to tell u where u stand and u ve 4 forms so try one wen u feel like may b in a wk or so..

Best of luck

HI everyone..

Everyone doin great i feel..mashallah..
Thanx dr ruman Ramadan Mubarik to everyone..

Anyways my plan of last month..I'l do 4th read..along with Qbook n revise the notes of UW which i am making along with it although my score still below 50% gives me a hell of tension these days..
Last few days only FA..
and date decision depend on the nbme forms i'l try to give all 4 forms..i recommend to evryone that do give nbme atleast 20 days n a wk bfre exam..

and dr ruman i think u can extend or change the date a wk(6 days i ve heard) bfre ur exam otherwise ul b charged some money..

Do PRAY FR EACH OTHER...INSHALLAH V'L ALL B DOING GREAT..

on 3rd will finish wid uw rev by 1st week oct,then hoping to give nbme

but i have made a stupid mistake which i just came to knowsad ,i had submitted application 4 eligibility period oct -dec 2007,at 4th sep ,now i was told last date was 31st august,i havent got any approval mail for application yet,as status always says in process of verification bla bla.....

i am not sure about fate of my application,thats another reason of severe tension as put so much effort and if i wont get eligibility period of oct -dec,then i will be switched to jan -2008 ,a biiiiiiiig break of preparation and ofcourse i will forget allllmad,em praying Allah to plz let them accept my application for oct -dec period,em soooo confused wat gonna happen,kinda freaked out,God forbid i think i dont belong to 2007 exam badge anymoreshaking head

all my prep seems to be ruined,all hopes lost,i am standing in middle of nowhere,do need all ur prayers

tc and best luck byeeeeeee

Hope that everythin gets fine..
Best of luck
