My dear diary.
I have done almost of UW, and I'm still not confort....
Something is missing and I have to find out soon. I just have one month before the test and at this point I have to be finishing all.
Today I read some post that said about writing UW answers and I was begining to write it, but the things that I know seems so confusing now... mad
I have to calm down my stress and begin again my study.
Let's do it. nod
One month to go.
I'm slow reader so let's read one block answer now, see you in 3 hours.
grin

  #29

I'm back, not in 3 hrs as I said but, now I'm more motivated again.
I'm doing review of answers of UW and doing one block. And also I'm writing the answers. When I'm little tire of same things, I'm trying to read Q of this forum and answer it.
It is taking more time, but it helps me to studying English also. grin
Let's start today.

Hi elitoki,
Just stopped by to read your journal, study well and concentrate and you will be fine. In your free time try to read something non-medical ti improve your fast reading skills, think it will help.

  #34

It is so nice we have so many friends here encouraging each other and boost each other's spirit. Elitoki, under all these pressures, I guess you will study much more harder than you can possibly do.grinsmiling face

Hi my diary.
I have done with UW and my score remain in 59%.
I took NBME 1 on this week and my score was 520. It still low and I didn't pace the time, so in real life my score could be less than this one.
I have two more weeks to go. Today I renew UW for review items by subject.
I hope that in those weeks I'd be ready for my test.

AH! I changed my avatar.... grin
I'll try to save my piece of cheese ... my 99 at this time.
nod

  #37

hi elitoki, your avatar is so unique that it makes me dizzy.grin Actually love this.wink

59% for UW, like neuroblastoma said, is average. I got that for step 1 all the time. The key is to review for two or three times until you learn all of them front to back. You can do that! Keep moving forward!smiling face

  #39

Thanks neuroblastoma and Thanks njcjzy!

Yes, We are here for our 99%,!!! And I wish you all 99% , too grin

I have to answer more carefully all Qs. I'll practice more as you guys said.
Thanks for your advise.

Today I have done with NBME II. Unexpectly the score was 580.
I've already changed my test day in the morning, so now I have a little more time to review.

I hope have time on this weekend to study a little.
Let's continue!!!

Hi my diary.
Here I am again after thinking if I should have to write again or not.
After having two failures on this CK, I'm not sure if I have to be nervous or not.
Actually I'm still calm, and I think this is bad.
Being too much confidence is not good; I already have been in that feeling with test result of fail.
But in this time is different, my English has been improving very very much, and I hope that in this time I'm going to do better job. I really need high score. shocked
Wish me Luck and see you after THE TEST.



  #48

Hi elitoki, that is a must to be calm and cool before the test. Trust in yourself, you will get an amazing score. Your hard work will pay off.

Wish you best of luck,friend.smiling face

Dear Diary.
Yesterday was THE DAY.
At first I though that I wasn't nervous about the exam, but I couldn't sleep well due to anxiety that grew during the night. After all, I was there in Prometric before the time, and my test begun on time as I expected.
I took tutorial for verified my earphone sounds, but... when I got the first Q with media, my earphone didn't work. I couldn't hear any cardiac sounds. Oh! No!. I was so ..... Thanks that I took tutorial time to add on my break time, because to fix all problems they took around 20 minutes of my break and I had to sit there doing nothing.
I don't really know how I was with the exam. I know that I would not get my 99 as I wish.
I couldn't finish 13 Qs due to time..... I need more practice Q. with time mode……
I will wait until the report tells me how was my score, and until then I will be here and preparing for the match process.
Good Luck for everyone.
