you are right edie I need to give it more time... hope your studies going fine...
hi praying 4a99. thanks for dropping by & your concern... I really take lots of breaks.. but I have nothing to do in breaks.. I dont have any social circle or any other obligations except hosework. & I have lots of free time.. so if I dont study then I have to think what to do .. although I want to go through all notes in just 10 days.. I know its immpossibnle.. so I am taking it lightly & not following any schedule.. giving myself time to study whatever I can ....

Now yesterday couldnt study much .. went out for dinner so I had little progress with biochem.. yesterday I tried listening goljan while I was trying to sleep. It was really nice.. Goljan lectures are so nice if you are in relaxed mood. & the info he gives really amzing.. earlier when I heard him I was trying really hard to understand & learn & was so tensed while hearing it.. & after ome biochem & physio his lecture makes sense now...
dont know how much I am going to do now.. lets see.. happy studying to all!!

Hey,
I like the way ur so focused & studying all the time.I should be doing the same.U also seem to be a fast reader.I take forever to finish10 pages.After ur first read of a chp do u go back & revise it?or move on to the next? I have a problem of forgetting stuff even though I understand concepts.

hi pedia2B... I am not a fast reader at all... like 10 pages in Physio was easy to do.. as kaplan has half page empty & a graph there but in biochem.. turning pages is so difficult & it takes time.. 10 pages take me atleast 1 hr... I too have retaing problem... but I am so happy that I am done with 1 chapter.. I move to another one.. without reviewing although I think its nice idea...
I didnt study at all today will start with biochem tomm

Well, till now im only done with 4 lectures of Dr. Dunn ... maybe i cant really judge now ... but from my previous experience he gives minimal amount of extra info. and he says everything important like three times! you know the first chapters are really simple so maybe he'll be more helpful in the following topics ...
I see youre on biochem. ... now Dr.Raymond is great ... i really recomend watching his lectures on metabolism ...
Thanks for passing by ... Do drop by again

hi pa499.. why isnt every proff like goljan... whom I would love to attend.. others act as sleeping pills for me..
hi pedi2B.. I know these days will b over too. I just want to hang on till I feel back normal...
step 1 subjects are just so boring I just cant stop myself comparing with CK.. where everything went smoothly till my 2nd read atleast.. but now I am just so scared to start the subjects at first.. & there is so much to do this time..
ok, yesterday I did lil FA biochem & heard goljan .. But not much.. plan to complete that today..

hello future 99er!
I always did wonder why all profs were'nt like Dr. Goljan He is so amazing! but I guess you get them in all different colors
hahaha good idea p4a99, definitely can use some of the other lectures to put us to sleep the night before the exam!
I am going to stick with Kaplan Lecture Notes for Biochem. As Keepgoing said, it has everything and from what I have read here at the forum, almost all of the exam takers vouch for it.
Good luck

thanks to everyone for dropping... I was on a break
now back in studying mode..
p4a99 thats really a good idea
THANKS a lot keepgoing... now atleast I can just concentrate on theses. although metabolism & enzymes are difficult for me.. I will stick with it as you suggested.. but going to do them later... as they acted as a brake for me..
thanks medocuck for asking.. I was enjoying some racing & independence day fireworks yesterday..just didnt feel like pickiing boks.. so took a break from step 1 mania..
hi acintya.. I too always wonder why are they so boring anyways.. I always use to enjoy my sleep in thier classes.. did make full use of the lecture.. now i think I will stick with kaplan whatever it is.. thanks.. hope you are doing fine...
I am back to studying afterall... cheers & happy studying to all.. lets crack it!!

hi, kity,thanks for dropping by my journal. yeah, it seems that i am following your routine, we both are doing biochem, using Kaplan notes. it's so great to found someone like you!
i am very impressed that you are so motivated, so positive. You know i am also at home study alone, no social circle of my own. the difference is you took advantage of this situation and put all your time in study, while i felt so isolated and depressed for a while.....that's why there was a almost one-month-gap on my journal. now i go to gym 3 times a day, workout makes me happy. i am also trying to get to a normal sleep pattern, so now i force myself to go to bed before midnight, but still i often can't get up till 9-10am. so this cut off a lot of my studying time. hope i will solve this problem soon.
yeah, will get back to biochem. you are much much faster than me. i will try to finish by next Monday.

i dont believe it.. it seems you are telling me my own story.. I am all alone at home too.. only have husband to talk to .... zero social circle.. was so depressed 2-3 days back.. took total break started agin.. I go to gym too..with my notes ofcoures... Also have terrible sleep patern ;ike you but I often get up later than you thats 11am or 12 pm now I have stopped trying to change my routine.. as long as I am studying It doesnt matter.. at all to me..
regarding my speed I aam doing only lecture note.... and have finally dropped biochem & switched to immuno for better.... Will do that scary thing sometime later
