I have to finish GUT and ENDO expls within 5 P.M in the evening. God--Please give me strength!

what can I say, I was doing poorly on the last couple of days, mostly because i'm discovering things that i totally forgot about even though i studied a couple of times before, mostly because they werent covered on qs, so i got really depressed, actually was about to just take a break & delay my exam..
Yest i just struggled back, today i'm studying much better, i have to go to my best friends wedding now, I really don't want to go but i can't, he is my best friend!!
anyway, taking NBME after tom, tom ill just go over my weaknesses that i marked for rev before the exam.. I made a new memo called it F*****K synd for the syndromes of ped, i always mix that part up so it was time to do somethin about it..
Whats up wid u guys, hope ur all doin better, GL

just 10 days left for me, today I'm doing peds, I'm not moving as fast as I like, but I am trying to understand that I'm not a machine I mean we physicians have been studying kind of nonstop for the past couple of years of our lives, and well this is not the last time either...anyhow I really wish to get a 90+...a lot is left for review, and mu UW subscription will be finished soon. So I should give it my best shot...
cirus my advice (if you want it  ) is: do not postpone your test. this is a cycle. you read some stuff, and you forget the ones you had read before, the longer it takes the worse, and then you'll get tired and..but of course you can evaluate your own situation better than anybody else.
Good luck with your studying friends

sorry to hear that cirus, but I'm sure with reviewing the important stuff you'll do fine, that's one the reasons I am not a fan of nbme, it may damage your self confidence, anyhow you've got time to go over everything again. As for me next week this time I am busy doing the test!!! yes just one week left. Today I want to review cardiology qs, I am starting late, felt tired in the morning.
We can do this cirus, let's believe in ourselves

Thanks Khorshid..
Well even though I got the same result, I felt much better for 2 reasons
1 Last time alot of qs I was just guessing, but this time I knew & understood
2 I knew my weaknesses & he just elaborated it, & showed me a little more week areas..
So here goes..:
For the next days , my life will be just around Kaplan together with FA, UW & kaplan Q Bank..
I intend to :
1 study a branch every day, read all its UW qs...
Read another branch for the next day
& lastly solve a block or 2 in Kaplan Q bank..
This will be my life & i Intend to keep it like this untill the exam..
LETS SEE WHO IS A BETTER FIGHTER, ME OR USMLE
FUGHT, FIGHT & FIGHT, u will have ur rest later, i'm sure

Its getting Hectic..
Yest done with endocrine. read all its UW qs & solved 1 Kaplan block
today Done with rheumat, Read all its qs, & solved three blocks..read most explan but i'm exhausted, very bad headache, so ill just pass my eyes over Rheumat notes & go to sleep
Thank u God, that was a good day ( i think, at the end ill sue UW for Psychic trauma & being a reason for psychomtor agitation  of USMLE preperators) but anyway today I finished the bank( the new qs & some I didn'd do before) so its now only to continue re-doing it..
Where have u been guys.. see u tom (can't find a sleepy face so ill just put rolleyes:

hey cirus, how's your studying going? 3 1/2 days left for me!!!! I don't know if I am ready or not, last night for the first time I was stressed, like palpitation stressed, but most of the time I am just normal. I really want to get a good score on this one too, for personal reasons more.
I just wish to be really concentrated on the exam day, to be able to pay attention and use all I know.
I'll write again before the big day, now just reviewing my notes.
good luck.by the way nice quote

Hey Shaina, my exam is in 15 days too (21st of aug)..
i'm going through UW qs per chapter everday (now i'm glad i solved it like this coz basikly what i'm trying to do is open a previous block, cover the ans & try to think f a differential before looking.
Then i solve a couple of blocks, & revise the chapter, supposed to finish on the 13th, so i'll have a crah revesion on the last 8 days..Its an impossible mission & i'm not doing my best as i'm loosing some time here & there, but i hope for the coming days i'll ascelate..
Don't bother that much about NBME, use it, i mean first start with ur weaknesses, then go all over. GL
Hey Khorshid, good luck buddy, All the best ISA
