hi
i read through ur jouranl
thanks for stopping by at my journal
it gives me encouragement to know that there are others who started off wid same problems tht i face
unusual sleeping times
4 reads needed for retention
and slow first read
hey ur posts are motivating
i guess even i shd stop worrying abt my sleep times
and how many days and how much study etc
and just keep reading
tht will make the day more productive for me
keep posted!!
and happy studying!

Hi KT ,

You're like me bore between RR papi , & anatomy . I also add more subj , when one is bored. So i also do Qs here & there , some q bank .
In my case I post pond UW further, since I plan to do UW only , after my good read this one read atleast .

GL , play the song i send when bored , that will lift ur soul, mood, phyically active & up beat .

GL nod

Heyy, so you have switched gears into UW! great! have a good time with it....I am sure it will fill all the holes in memory very well! I am gonna stick with Patho for as long as it takes, cos its my first read...

Enjoy the journey smiling face

Thanks shwe & acintya for droppingnodnod

after all the planning & frustration... I am back with UW & FA now.. without reading scores wont improve.. so picked FA .. will concenrate on explanations of UW .. but again they are sooo long... almost double the size of st 2 UW.. god know if I will ever stop comparing st 1 & st 2 which are just not comparable..

anyways weekned was as usual.. without much studies & I am yet to do explanations of 1 block.. will report what I do or dont do... "cos just dont want to fall in trap of not reporting & not studying anymore... I wish I had a lil more motivation & energy in my last part of marathon race... I am still so relaxed & happpy that I am done with 2 beasts that I cant even concentrate & take st 1seriously... but I have to now... nodcool so back to FA & UW now........

Hi Kity, there is a short cut to explanations, but use it with caution. That is to only read the incorrects, and even in those, only the ones where 45% of users got it correct. When I did it, somethimes I even started with the ones with 60%. Eventually, though, you need to work your way to ALL of them at some point. How are your UW batches? I like "half-batches" of 25 in tutor mode, feels less tedious. Happy studying!

  #275

Hi edie
Thanks for the great advice & really a shortcut.. but I guess since I havent learned my KLN & EVEN FA I should do all to retain imp stuff...
but durin 2nd time I will try that .. really never thought avbout it.. really good idea..
