My exam is on the 21st of next month, so this gives me 41 days (God it’s close)
So for drastic times comes drastic measures, I decided to put a study plan splitting the time into 2 halves.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
The first half aim:
Solve 3 blocks of UW.
Solve one block of Kaplan Q bank.
Read a chapter
This will be my daily schedule.., so that ill finish UW (already finished it before), Kaplan q bank. & Read all literature..
The daily schedule is that the 4 blocks are done first, then ill have lunch go over the explanations for 2 hrs..
Then reading the literature & adding notes
I know its harsh, & seems impossible, but I have good faith in myself & in u all, rememb, we’re all doctors
For the second half, starts on the 1st of aug, well, let’s just leave it when we get there
Anyone interested to join is welcomed, we need to help eachother push through the pain & to indure
GO GO GO, U CAN DO IT...

Dear Khorshid
Ur most welcome to join, I didn start the third one yet, as I went to have lunch, & too a break, I'm starting it soon now, then I'll do another block of Kaplan Q bank..
Interestingly kaplan q bank r either easy or u have no clue about them so some new info needs EXTRA WORK (DAMN!!) so its gonna be a long day..
But No Worries, I Can do it, so can u

welcome sprint, yes we need encouragement badly, I too am not satisfied with my prep compared to step 1. I have done 50 q explanations so far, now is the worst time of day for me, I slow down and it's a struggle to study, BUT I'll do 50 more and I'll report here, I'll finish it today, no time left for wasting.

Welcome sprint 123..Yes we all need encouagment from each other,so lets all work guys, work more & always be sure that whenever ur facing something new, it means that an extra q will be covered in the exam ISA ( thats what i tell myself trying to stick all the new info inside, sometimes it works, hopefully will do for the exam)
anyway, done with the Kaplan block for tday, Just one block to go before starting going through the literature ( the part of the day that I don't enjoy)

cirus glad to see you're continuing with motivation, sometimes UW blocks can be disappointing, or even you make silly mistakes, my problem is that I make mistakes in qs that like 70% or more of people have solved and honestly sometimes is because I really don't know them, and then I answer other qs that only 10 to 30% have answered correctly, with confidence and true knowledge , I mean not by luck, not that this happens always but it happens a lot, and it's not good!! Because your score is a comparison to others. So if they give me an easy set of qs, that's not good
Anyways I finished 50 more explanas, now will rest a bit and do some personal works and then get back to the last 60 obgyn qs.
 keep it up

Done with the notes, have to rush & start todays branch..I'm late but won't go to sleep untill i'm done, thanks for the support Khorshid, Really appreciate it, & it's ok whats happening to u, It happens to me sometimes, but on the contrary I get some qs by luck ( totally thinking of something else but choosing the correct ans, I know THATS BAD & i'm trying to get the ideas of the qs but they're just too too much)...
Anyway ill start now, GO GO GO. & more coffee, I'll have caf toxicity soon

Khorshid---->I have faced the same problem so many times---It would be like killing yourself when 85% of people have answered and you got it wrong-especially this occurs in miscellaneous and Derma section for me! Well, I have to complete the remaining surgery notes and 1 block of UW---i am feeling motivated ons eeing cirus and I will NOT sleep before finishing this!
Good luck to all!

i am feeling very motivated looking at u guys circu skhorshid sprint123

doc08 welcome, a friend of my was in a similar situation, she studied very hard for the last 3 weeks, didn't finish UW but she got 95. So don't worry, if we try hard these last remaining days we're able to do it
For me today is psych, I have to finish kap notes. and hopefully start UW qs.
good luck to you all.

Feeling a bit down today! Lots of personal things distracting me! I have to complete within half a day---ID notes, Surgery notes and 10q .
Nany's words : "Come on....wake up and keep going on to reach your 99 score. it is just waiting for you there at the end of the road, so don't let it wait long. Go and Run and Fight to reach your dream..., and you will."
Will write again in the afternoon!

Finished 3rd block, not as good as expected but as I always say, I'd rather have it wrong here than in the exam, the only problem is that some of the qs don't make sense, i mean, u read the explanait & u just say U MUST BE KIDDIN ME!!!
Anyway, now going for the last block, did take break lol...But i promis myself tom I won't..
Cheer up sprint123, I know its difficult when u have person stuff, but its ok, I'm sure ull end ur day as u want at the end, just put ur target infront of ur head
Take it easy, But not on ur books,lol ( i don know but i decided to be in a good mood today despite any circumst..hope it continues till the end of the day)

I am happy that your day was ok cirus, I am not that satisfied with mine, eventhough I finished psych and have done 60 qs so far (without explanations) and eventhough I scored 80% and 73%, but I am not happy with my day, because I could have done so much more and I wasted a lot of time, plan for the rest of the day(little is left): finish UW psych and hopefully start reading explanations!!
Sprint I like this sentence which is from nany, right? yeah let's run and fight and run...

Hi cirus and khorshid---Yesterday evening was a nightmare for me--Due to problematic neighbour we have to leave the house for a couple of days----Neways, New day--New target---> Let's start again. Nothing should keep us down---Nothing else is important!
First half-->40 UW q + yesterday's surgery notes
"Come on....wake up and keep going on to reach your 99 score--Don't ever slow down"
