I think I finished one reading ofcourse thoroughly except biochem around march
But I couldn't do anything after that
still poor in biochem
and finding other subjects everything new
didn't give nbme till now


  #5

You THink !!

Dude U need to Gain some Confidence Start Again from Biochem (that u shud take around 15 days tops ) to cover and then start ur 2nd read Just remember u have only 45 days as a target to finish ur 2nd read.
List all the books per subject u have read in ur 1st read so we can tell u wht to do extra.

well, if you have no choice (like me smiling face ) complete your second reading with FA by july 10th and learn everything as thoroughly as you can and do the qbank or UW for 12-14 days and revise FA and take the exam. if you can't manage your 2nd read by july 10th, try to extend your eligibility period. if you feel your knowledge is really strong, you might do over kaplan and just focus on FA.

Helo
I read only kaplan materials
phobic to biochem
trying to do it now
actually was in good swing till march but due to various reasons
couldn't continue at the same rate and may didn't study anything
exam is on july 2nd
Patho kaplan material know to some extent
same with all
but need to brush everything once again which am unable to do
read goljan in the past
didn't read anybooks specifically more


  #10

hey!, my 2 cents, i think u should take the NBME and try to see where u stand, its of cos not a perfect predictor but at least u will have an idea, if u insist on taking it in july then u have abt 1 month to do again the parts were u are weak, i dont know if u have done UW, but truthfully its a great tool , u can also try it........if ur still not comfortable, then change ur date, there is no point doing it now, and if God forbid it, u fail u will still have to take more time to do it again, so think about it, cos what is worth doing, is worth doing well.smiling face

  #11

what is worth doing, is worth doing well

I like that Afro.thats abit of advice for me as well.Thank you.

  #13

First Thank u evrybody
I will try to give nbme
and try to do my best
and if possible will change my exam date
but there r no available dates in july
and exam period ends with july
but one thought and doubt
instead of spending my time like this y cant' I write gre and toefl
apply for mph or other related for Jan session and in the meanwhile prepare for step 1 after extending my exam period and give it then
don't know whether it is rite or wrong at this point of time
but
Pls anybody want to suggest me

  #14

Well I may be little greedy
but I would like to try for 99
like this I know I can't
thats y

  #15

99 step1 + GRE + TOEFL : and you only have one month left! shocked

I think its much better to do them one by one ... step by step ... focus on one thing at a time ... Good luck ...
