Kaplan notes not enough, need dvd , look at e bay or ask friends, other forum, google it .
FA as 2007, I think, not sure has dl in support forum too with correction , for sure 2006 dl is there b4.
But every yr of Oct or Nov , latest Dec, next yr or Jan of same yr. ie 2008 FA is out, so Fa might buy from friends or e bay too or amazon might have used one too for 2007 .
If exm plan 2008 then wait for new one to out, but dl come out soon after new one is out too.
If you're like me buy book , like book then go ahead for 2007 or 2008 FA book as your exm day .

Thanks shwehope. Your suggestions will surely help me.
I was away for few days, didn't read anything. Not feeling well and then out of town for some personal matter. I was back on monday itself but was too tired to begin with. Or I think its just more difficult to start after taking a long break.
Anyway, just want to get back on track.
Where should I start....thats a big question. Maybe I will start where I left ...Goljan audio and RR.
Its always good to come to this forum, seeing people studying hard. Or I would have been definitely lost.

Just done with nutritional disorders. Will start listening to audio now.
I feel like I forgot what I read before. I hope I remember it when needed. For now I am just wondering whether to repeat all the stuff again?
Now I have planned...I want to finish the Goljan audio as well as RR till the end of this month. Its already 12th, and I have along way to go. I need to concentrate more.

I am just getting lost in between...sometimes it feels like undoable to me. I have just started and I feel like I will never be able to finish Patho only...forget about other subjects. This is really very depressing. I hope I come out of it.
Yesterday night I did a plan about systemic pathology, I am gonna stick to it. Told it to my mom also, just to create some pressure. I should be done with CVS, RS & GIT by saturday. i was doing bits and pieces from it last week. It time to get serious and finsih it perfectly.
Ok ..so this is a plan....I want to make it happen. I hope settting these kind of small targets will help me.
I am doing CVS for now. Reading RR and listening to Goljan as usual.

Hi WML, this is normal, many of us here have gone through this at some point. Just keep going, trying out diff things until you find the one that 'fits' you and your learning style the best. Prepping for step 1 is no 'one size fits all' endeavor. Your motivation has already put you ahead of the game  GL with CVS!

Thank you very much Edie, you are really very inspiring and also reading your and others journals helps me getting on track. I feel the urge to do it when I read the journals.
Well, I didnt listen to Goljan yesterday, was just not feeling like doing audio. Was too lost reading the stuff and then got tired slept in the hope of waking up early. So I have a lot on my plate today. I need to finish CVS anyway. Need to be fast and concentrate. I think concentrating will really help a lot.
I am on my target, will write in the diary in the night how much I did.
I think its a good idea, setting a target in the morning and then writing what I did in the night before going to bed.

Oh.. last 2 days I am just doing RS. I could not study at all today. Saturday is always hard to study. But I need to do more. I am feeling like this thing will never finish.
I don't study the assigned work and then I don't write in diary, but I need to keep writing in any case just to be on my toes.
Anyway, time to go to bed. I am really feeling for not studying at all. I wish I will start a grat day tomorrow and will finish the RS as well as start with GI.

Hi WML, if you don't feel like studying, it can be a waste of time to 'go thru the motions' so as to feel a sense of accomplishment. I used to do this, then beat myself up when I got low practice q scores. Make no mistake about it, you got to feel it to do it effectively. Don't feel guilty if you plan time off for other things non-USMLE. Key here is PLAN. This way, when you come back to studying, you will feel better about it. More refreshed, more motivated. And you'll see progress, guaranteed

Hey thanks Edie....I am getting what you say. I plan, but it seems like I am not able to estimate my pace. I wanted to finish RR and Goljan by the end of this month. But I am not able to. This disappoints me more. It feels like it will take forever for me to go through all subjects.
Anyway, I am still on GI...need to finish it fast. Oh my I will be the happiest person in this world when I am done with RR.

hi wishmeluck .... I can understand your feelings about RR in fact any book it really gets boring if its take longer than we have planned.... What I do is I start another subject anyways As it makes studies less boring... may be you too can try that...
GL with RR!!

Hey thanks Kitty! Ya thats a good idea. I think I should start something else now and then come back to RR. I will decide which subject to start. Maybe physiology should be a good choice. Thanks for your input though

Dear Diary, I started with Physiology from kaplan now. Still not finding the required pace. The idea s to do the systems together. Like I will be doing CVS in physio as well as Patho simultaneously. On that thought I have decided to add other subjects like anat, pharmac also. This will be systemwise study for USMLE. Don't know how it will go, but I think I want to try this. I am on CVS physio now, I am oping to finish it by sunday.
