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

Done with 3 blocks of UW, this is my second time & yet some of the concepts really flew awy so i decided to solve the wrong qs ( 3rd time) after i'm done with this time..
My first block was 58%, 2nd was 67%, & 3rd was 86%, quite variable I know but the 1st one I had 3 qs where I knew their concept well but they where a little tricky & I fell for them, so again 3 stupid mistakes, I added them to my notes, & will go over them again, yest my blocks where better, 86, 86 & 92. in UW & 88 in Kaplan (50 qs), My average in KaplanQBank is 75- 85%.I'm ver worried about this fluct, so can anyone of u tell me If i'm going on the right track..
Anyway still one block in Kaplan QBank, then Go over kaplan notes..
Good luck guys

Hey cirus---85% in Kaplan! Very good going! Keep it up! I wish i could do kaplan q bank too but I think I might not have enough time for that! Hi khorshid-Hope you have finished your explanations-update yourselves. Now, target for second half---->40 UWQ + 1 hr surgery lecture.
Hey sprint and cirus, you guys seem to be doing great. Sprint is right cirus you're scoring pretty well in qbank. I have only done nearly 200 internal qs from kaplan internal and I totally agree some are so easy and some are points which I didn't know at all. Anyways I plan to finish UW before anything else. my scores sometimes fluctuate in UW too, it happens, your mental concentration differs from block to block, or even sometimes I guess by chance a block contains many tricky or complicated qs or a lot of qs from one of your weaker areas. in general I think you're doing great cirus. And one more point if you were scoring above 85% for example in all blocks that showed that you're wasting your time doing these qs, because there's not much to learn for you. I am done with psych explanations (let me tell you two points from my last qs: in a depressed pt with erectile dysfunction give Bupropione, in a depressed pt pt with insomnia give trazodone. and the third important one don't give BZs in PTSD pt, they are prone to addiction.) ok, now it's time for internal. I don't feel that confident about internal anymore, first of all it's my lowest percentile in UW, second I have not worked on it in the past two weeks. Will keep you updated. "Don't slow down"

Hi guys---Yesterday squandered my second half due to neighbourhood problems--Unnecessary things interfering me at the wrong time--I am feeling frustrated at not completing yesterday's portion. It is really annoying to start a day with yesterday's portion --This is keeping me down--But no mater what-->I am feeling tired now but I am going to gather all my strength whatever left behind to start today and from now onwards NOT going to waste my time even if my head goes off----I am upto the challenge and here I go.
Yesterday's questions explanations and UW 40q before afternoon!
Will write after completing ! "Never take your eyes off on the maximum"

Good morning guys, another day, last night I did 60 qs internal, and reviewed renal from kaplan. today I'll begin with reading those explanations and then move on with internal. ( I always forget these RTAs, so here is what I relearned last night: RTA1:hypokalemia, urine ph>5.5, nephrolithiasis, inability to excrete H into urine----RTA2:hypokalemia, urine ph first >5.5, later becomes acidic, bone problems, inabbility to absorb hco3---RTA4:hyperkalemia, urineph<5.5, aldosterone problems---another way to distinguish type 1 &2: in type 1 HCO3:nearly 10, in type 2:18-20.) Ok, have a great strudying day and post your progress.

Hi friends--I was just wondering how it will be if we were alone in a small pleasant island with necessary utilities for a month and get abck again after finishing the exam . Wasted my precious time yesterday in adapting to new environment ---Starting my day late but I should finish my suregry notes and UW questions today--I know I will and I should--I can't let all the work done so far to be wasted! Here I go!I am NOT going to worry or even think about anything else!
Again my favourite 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."
Wish you a great day --khorshid and cirus!

Ok here is my confession, from yesterday evening till now(which is today's evening) I have only solved near 80qs from UW, without explanationsthe rest was spent for family issues. Compared to my step 1, I should be really worried, because a month before step 1 I had finished everything and I was just reviewing!!!And now ,well I'm not doing that great. Anyhow, now I'll read explanations to qs. more than 100 of them left, and then I REALLY WANT to review neuro. Happy to see u guys are doing great. And I agree with cirus, no studying in an island, there is so much more to enjoy there! I'll be really happy if I can do these stuff tonight!!!I'll keep u posted. Good luck

welcome nokia 75,
we're all scared, but this is normal, i don't now yet about nbme as i never took it, but i'm taking it tom ISA so i can tell u about my score tom ( not expect that much actually) but what i can tell u is that ur UW score is good from the 1st time, so u should try to RELAX, don't just always think that ull do bad, put in ur mind, I'm doin what I can, I'll just do great. always be optomistic so this will help u in the comin days, i'm sure ull do great ISA
Well khorshid yest was bad to me too, i solved, i wrote but didn't go through what i wrote or Kaplan..I was just toooooooo bored but today is another one ISA so i promiss ill do my best to make it up for yest,
good luck guys

Welcome nokia, cirus is right we're all scared and one test in my opinion never defines you or your knowledge. I think you're doing the right thing by reviewing, just please keep calm an confident, because if you're stressed all the time you won't really learn the things you're reading. Update us on your progress. Last night I finished the explanations. I could have done neuro too, but then I watched a movie instead!! Anyhow today I started with two blocks of (30 qs each) UW internal, I am doing better, even scored one 83%, which made me really happy... Now I am going to do two more blocks (30 qs each again). Then review the explanations. Cirus hopefully we can make up for yesterday. Have a good studying day guys.
, plan for the rest of the day(little is left): finish UW psych and hopefully start reading explanations!! 
everyone loses sometime here & there, ur doin a good job but its imp to go over ur explanations.. 
, but as I always say

Wasted my precious time yesterday in adapting to new environment ---Starting my day late but I should finish my suregry notes and UW questions today--I know I will and I should--I can't let all the work done so far to be wasted!
