I only finished ablock of UW yesterday w/ 20 pages of FA. I read that Pharm has yo be memorized from FA & has to be done few days before the exam. It's good to go through it then memorize again at the later part.

I am setting up an unrealistic goal here! I am aiming to study crazily! I think I am STILL the student who can retain much when cramming. I know it's not good but i think it works for me. Hmmmm distractions distractions.. what can I say? It's hard to put your other side of life when cramming at the same time. I am sooo bad.
I don't know about you guys but everytime I watch TV I can stay up soo late even til 2 am but when I am doing UW questions I feel sleepy easily.

  #78

Oh no, no TV at all . Only once a week if will not survive with TV .

Q no good at sleepy time doing self, if want Q by sleepy time, find buddy, frined online to do Q by sleepy time.
If not sleepy time is either any audio or preview for next day . or Just sleep when sleepy .

GL nod

  #85

I see you are in pharma as well .How is it going ??
I am starting it today .Let's work it nod

  #86

Good Morning. A lovely morning indeed. Finished my Pharm. & went back to one of my :weak subjects" Path. Cardio.

My observation.. the truth.. I am still having a hard time w/ MOA for Pharma so definitely will go bak & memorize those a wk. before my exam.

In Cardio--I noticed that I can narrow down to 2 choices but I still end up choosing the wrong answer.. What a ??? SOooo got to repeat readings of Kaplan or better yet know my codes COLD!!!! from FA

For today's plan: ENDO, RENAL......

Good luck newbeginnings w/ Pharma. I read that autonomic drugs are HY. Know the MOA of the drugs...FA is vgood.

  #87

Anuba,

If ends up choosing wrong one out of final 2 choices , why not always choose the wrong one you think but is actually right one grinnod

Funny shwe!

Last night my hubs just said" It's August again". He means year is almost over & I have not taken the exam yet. He thinks I "play around too much". Sometime that's what he thinks.. that I don't try my best hard enough. MAYBE! He laughs at me because he said I have all the gadgets aw/ me like computer, laptops, DVD players, lots ofbooks, review books & why the H''' I can't still pass??? And to add he said when he was studying for the mle all he had was a lampshade & FIRST AID w/c he read 6x. Well there;s a difference that I can think of.. he just stay in a room & study, comes out when it's time to eat & play w/ my kid for few minutes & go back to studying again. he was also working 2 jobs at that time. HOW did he manage to do that??? I said sarcastically.. well you are smarter than me. He said NO.. he just did not have a choice & he was very determined to pass & have good life for his family. Then evrything happened. Life is a lot better these days. What a blessed lfe.

Anyway, his point is all I have to do is take more time in studying & when kids are at school HIT the BOOKS.. HIT THE BOOKS HARD!!

Yeah.. why don't I study harder. I can do this.. I WILL PASS THE EXAM!! DARN STEP 1!!

  #89

The above post is more like ME!! Yeah I am crazy & funny & takes everything the easy way.. but this time I WILL PASS!!

  #90

Hi Anuba, I think we all have the problem of inertia...and you are doing a good job of getting over it! Especially with kids etc, it just gets more difficult to focus, but you really ARE gonna do well. When are you planning on taking it??

I am the kind who does well with cramming...but it seems like it won't work for MLE! And I am having such a hard time to unlearn my old bad habits grin

Anyway, God loves us, and will help us along....that's the only hope smiling face

Good luck! smiling face

  #92

Anuuuuba ,

Tell him cause he had less books to read , not like you , us , we have lots of books to read grin , real books, dvds all may be ..may be more than one versions , e books, audio etc, files fr dl, good friends, all friends .

Just kidding sis , go study , me too . Close the door, order pizza for kids , so will not feel guilty if you forget to feed them or cook for them . wink

Thank god, my hubby have not try to study ... read yet, so he might thought it's very hard , so hard to study , but ... nope he never thought it's hard ... even no read yet, he never thought it's hard, see he grap the concepts while I am playing papi, yes, so when he ask some that he miss while he was away from the speaker , I lost, cause I was also on line here too at same time with papi is speaking .grin

Hey Anuba, just read some of your old entries. You seem to be on a roll and have lots of positive energy. That is so important.

You haven't mentioned how much you scored in UW. I have been doing very badly. But I think instead of doing mixed subjects I am going to do areas I have covered just for some moral boost.

You journal was fun to go through. God knows how much I can don with positivity.

Well done you, and keep it up. Ill be around.


  #94

hey medocuk! There you are.
My UW scores ranges between 52- 63% & I amdoing it subjectwise, tutormode most of the time. I don't know how people do it. it seems like I am stucked w/ it bec. I have to read & understand the explanations very well & it's taking me soo long to finish a subject. I can't waste too much time anymore. Summer vacation for the kids is not over yet & hubs has 7 days off next wk.They want to go OOT again so that would lessen my review time esp; if we're long-driving. it's okay though. I'll try to finish my readings & questions fast so i can have family time again.

Good luck to you all!!

  #95

Hey anuba,august is just another month .Don't worry about time .when you are done with usmle ,it will not reflect anywhere how much time it took to prepare ,only the score that you got .
Every individual is different ,has diff patterns of study .I so far know that all the genius known to mankind is hardwork .No one is smarter or dumb than anyone else so .The harder we work ,the better the score will be .Don't restrict yourself with time boundaries unless you have some engagement in future

  #96

I have to encourage myself to stir up the gift inside me. Why I chose to do this? For so
many reasons, so many reasons. I encourage myself by being around here in the MLE forum because it's only through here that people understand what we go throughduring this stressful event. I find determination what God has placed inside my heart. It doesn't matter if it was 10 years , 20 years or even 30 years , God can still bring it to pass. I pray that my heart be filled with faith & hope, believing that every promise God has placed in my heart will come to pass.
It's important to share this to everyone esp. to people like me who undego hardships toward attaining our goals. God bless.

Aim high! Ambitious me!

to everyone,
You see my prep has not been so easy at all. i try to put a positive face here behind an unsuccessful person like me. There has been a very close person who's been telling me to quit & just do nursing, go to nursing school etc etc. She said I'm better off being a nurse bec. of my 3 kids. & afraid i can't take care of them when I do residency. I have been thinking of this but my mind & my heart still goes with becomin an MD but she said it seems impossible now bec. we are already in a stable condition, that is financially.
I avoid this kind of conversation bec. how in the world can she ay that when i am in the midst of my review. if you will say avoid the person ,,I can't. I just can't. I cry & sad that I want to just believe her but it hurts my feeling tha someone close to me could say that. Well face reality, you can't have it all. Maybe but it hurts.. I am hurt & what can I do. I can't concentrate.She said for me to quit & have freedom from studying already. Why? Why do people are so easy to judge you??? I did not quit, I know I can do it. I don't know.
