Hello, after reading some of the other journals, decided to start my own journal so that I can stay focused and motivated during these last few days.
So far I have read Kaplan twice, started with blue prints then switched to kaplan.
Finished all of UW, trying to do it twice.......scoring 58% cumulative
Just started Kaplan Q-bank, timed mode which I had done it b4 UW
Did some Q-book= 70%
So far I am happy with my progress but I really need to speed things up because the isn't much time left. I want to match 2008 by His Grace.
Also used FA, secrets. I recommend both.
3rd reading..............my goal today is to review preventative med, epi and stats and do at leat 50 questions. I will be very happy if I can stick to my plan and accomplish my goal. God help me.

Finished NBME 1 scored 470. I am happy with that score because I have time to improve on my weak areas.
Accomplished my goal for yesterday except, statistics which I am going to do today from FA. Also review OB for the next 2 days. God help me.
Please feel free to join this journal so that we can motivate each other. Thanks

Dear Diary,
I did half of OBGYN yesterday which was ok. I wish I had done more, but I just could sleep the night before so I could not study fo long. I am hoping today would be much better.
Goal 4 today:
Finish OB review
Do a full length exam tomorrow using the UW.
The full lenth exam is very challenging but this is my 4th one so it gets better each time. I am trying to bult my stamina so that on that day I will not be doing this for the first time........God help me accomplish these goals

Hi shaina and Ivonne, thanks for stopping by.
Ivonne don't worry, time reallyu flies by and b4 you know it, you will be taking the test. Make sure to do questions after studying each section so that the material will stick.
Shiana the full length exam is really good to do because you bult up stamina and edurance b4 the real exam. One of the kaplan tutors gave me that idea during step one and it really helped so I am determined to do the same for step 2.
Happy studying to all of you and be encouraged..............We can do it.

Good morning,
another day, another opportunity.
I am one day behind schedule so my plan is to readjust my schedule so that that no subject suffers at the end.
Yesterday, I did GYN instead of Endo. so today's goal is to finish GYN and continue with endo. I should not be spending more than one day on GYN but I really wnat to go over secrets and FA in all topics because that helps me understand the concepts better.
God help me accomplish these goals

Dear diary, today I was tempted to start thinkijng about something sad that happened to me last year when it suddenly occured to me that in everything I should give thanks.
In addition to my prep, every day I will include something that I am very thankfull for so that I am motivated to keep moving.
Toady I am thankfull for having a very very supportive family. My dad told me yesterday that he wants me to stay focused and let nothing bother my studies. That made me feel happy and encouraged.
My gaol for today is review endo : FA, secrets plus 50 IM questions from Q-book.
I will be happy If I can do all of this. God help me

Thank you soooooooooooooooo much. I am soo greatfull to have people like you who encourage me as well. Attitude is every thing and sometimes it is not the greatness of our obstacles but the smallness of your vision which prevents us from accomplishing our goals in life. We will all make it because we are determined. Keep up the good work

Hey guys, I showed up to take my test today just to fine everyone outside. Some where even crying. We were all told that there is no power in the building because a delivery truck knock down the electric pole this morning. Can you believe this? This is unimaginable and I could not even think at the moment. After all this................. Well I had to reschedule and thank God I got a date for the 19th brcause orders have to wait until august. I am treating this as a blessing in disguise............so I will review for the next 2 days because I have not been able to study for the past few weeks because of mental fatigue. Pray for me...............................God bless
