Start using USMLE WORLD and try to UNDERSTAND each concept, also learn FA the same way you know your name.

good luck glycogen..I think a good reading after DVD's is essential.Also try do some questions.That way you know what to conc on more.other wise we just end up passively reading.

  #9

Hi,
Just my 2 cent , it is very good plan & order, go for it .
One thing keep in mind, do as much as possible each day, cause never know which day will have something comes up & will not study for that day or few days . BS can mix with other subj like heavy one immu or neuro Sc , if bore with same voice, teacher on dvd or audio.

GL GL GL happy success study to me, sis, bro, friends, all of usnodnodnod

good morning
i did the four chapters in bs yesterday as i planned to but got so bored with the stuff so frm today i'm planning to do som,ething else...may be a quick revision of pharma for a couple of days,,,
my god i still have a lots to do micro immuno genetics anat...
and my biggest problem is with memorizing...
god why can't i memorize ?? i tried to remember few things from pharma cvs yesterday n to my nightmare it seemed to me that i forgot everything i read....
shwehope99 thanx for the advice... i think i shud do bs with some other subject...so today i have to do cvs in pharma n chappter 11 in bs,
good luck to myself
guys i need help on memorizing..i mean how do u ppl do that
good luck studying to all of u


  #14

hey glycogen, hows studying going, seems like ur getting quite a lot done, thats great, im sure if u keep doing what ur doing ull be fine....smiling face with regards to memorization, i guess a lot of pple have ways to memorize stuff, but i guess it boils down to familiarization, u have to go over as much as u can, for me i always find clues with the names to help me remb stuff, try to do that no matter how silly u think it is, find something, for example, Abciximab, i remb that mab of cos is for monoclonal Ab, but also it starts with "a and b" and so acts on glycoprotein 3a and 2b, its silly but i remb it, so try it, it might help......smiling face

  #15

so till now was listening to the bs audio...need a lunch break now
n will start off with cvs pharma after that
and where did u guys do the biostats frm?

  #16

Ok let me break BS for you
1- personalities disorders
2- defense mechanism
3- depresion and drugs that you use in depresion
4- Child development
5- Sleep physiology and pathology
Now thats easy now comes the raised eyebrow
statistics
Bias
prevalence,incidence and the entire gang
studies
Law and ethics, its not hard if you know the rules or the law.

Use kaplan, and go over Usmle world part for statistics.
