MT: Congrats again for step 1.

Smalley: Thanks, all the best in accomplishing your goals too.

You gotta be kidding me...is what i thought when i got my tail kicked by Qbook peds. I just got 70% in the first test and i heard that Qbook is easy...what in the world is going on...anyways. Ready for two Qbook tests more...I am falling behind schedule, gotta speed up.

Hi Ivonne, you have a very good plan. Stick to that, try your best. Only over 50 days left. We can do that. Work hard, forget everything else. Study is the priority for this short period of time. Best wishes.

  • 3 hours dedicated to study answers of Qbanks (first thing in the morning when i am awake)
  • 3 hours to read FA and second read Kaplan notes.

Hey MT the most important is to be comfortable with our prep and enjoy it, you have the advantage of a fresh step 1. Keep it up!!!

Done with the 150 explanations. i think the Qbook in pediatrics is strong a lots of biochemistry and genetics. Loved it!!! Ok now break time, will take a hot bath he,he at noon...things are crazy. After the break ready for 3 hours more of kaplan nephrology notes. Enjoy your studies.

Thanks nany, it is working for me the 3 hours rule, three different study tools. I want to thank my cs study partner IMAN for the Kaplan DVDs, yupi i got them, very interesting, definetely it is more easy to study the notes with the DVDs. Well i have finished my 3 hours of lectures(nephrology) and i am bored so will have dinner, relax and start my last 3 hours in UW online (let's do Pediatrics 3 blocks-------> 138 questions).

Hi Ivonne, it is nice that you can study full-time now. And you have a very nice schedule, breaking your studies to 3 different parts, so you can do it more efficiently. Keep it up, friend. You will rock CK.


  #271

Thanks dear friend, definetelly it is less boring but I don't know why i am finishing so late my 3 per 3 schedule that apparently means 9hours/day hummm i think my breaks were way too long he,he. Anyways, my butt and my legs hurt for staying sitted for many hours, should do some physical exercise tomorrow to prevent DVTs...seriously.

Can go to bed now tired but happy because i finished my today's 3 per 3 target. 138 out of 2243 questions. Got 73, 71 and 69%(first time)------->going down score------->exhaustion? Ready for bed i hope i can keep up for the remaining days. Good night/day everyone.

DAY 54

Thanks nany for asking. But i just handled to do 3 and 3, coudn't do the last 3 hours, i feel guilty about it, specially because i let a relationship issue(a little "fight") took time away of my ck prep. i don't want to blame another person because it was my mind that let my focus go away, seems that it is hard for our love ones to understand us. Are we selfish for dedicate all of our time studying? it is indeed a job. Anyways just will shake it off and keep going. Nothing else is more important, everything else can wait...if they love us enough they will understand.
  • 3 hours for UW explanations
  • 3 hours for dvds
  • 3 hours for questions

Focus please don't leave me!!!!!!!!!
