Hi Beiwei, thanks for dropping by.
I felt a little bit down today. Didn't finish my last UW Qs. Will have to use one more day.
God, please be with me. Give me strength and hope. Let me keep focusing on You, then everything else will fall to the right place.

hi Mytime and Ivonne, thanks for your encouragement. I am back, after a long long break.
I have to admit, USMLE is a battle that needs more perseverence. I should not be defeated by my own weaknesses.
Time to concentrate again. Today still have two sets of UW to review. I can do this. Thanks again, Ivonne, for being here for me and all others.

Hi Ivonne, I will take it on Jan 30th, because it is a Wednesday, so I don't need to wait for extra days for the score. Thanks so much for your inspiring words. Today I told myself, enough excuses are enough. I must sink myself in CK for these last precious days. 54 days left for me (not counting the last day, will rest most of the day). I will work extremely hard. Please come by my journal often and keep each other's motivation high.
Feyza, glad to know you are back (to your home, right?) I haven't been doing that great. But I will in the coming days.
I still will concentrate on the Qbanks. Today's goal: finish reviewing respiratory disease in UW, and the unfinished part of cardiology.
No more time to waste, njcjzy, work hard and blindly for my dream score. No pain, no gain.

Hey njcjzy i can feel your energy.....great....try to post everyday. I truly need your input about how I can improve my prep, for instance, will start online UW today(again as you know, i used to do questions after each subject), probably i am already done with 70% of the questions so i am planning to finish the 30% left and second reading of Kaplan notes and some chapters first reading FA along with UW(second time), also do separate block of incorrect answers and figure out why i got then wrong and make a separate notebook of wrong answers. Hopefully by the end of December I will be done with UW and gave NBME form 1(after second reading kaplan notes, first reading FA and second reading UW). Then by January first start Kaplan Qbank online version to improve my weak areas and get to use long questions (do ramdom, unused and timed mode). Give NBME form 2 by January 15th and then just read FA and Secrets and marked questions in Qbanks. i don't know yet where to put NMBE form 3 and the USMLE CD though.
I am praying very hard to stick to my schedule since i am such a good planner but very bad executor, he,he.
Good luck in your prep, you will do great. I am betting on you.

hi Ivonne and Nany, I am doing fine, finally, after wasting several more days. Today is my 49 day. I am still concentrating on the questions. I should have sticked to my own thoughts about questions so I won't waste so much time justifying myself.
Not finished second review of UW, but will put UW aside and work on Kaplan Q till the end of the month. Then pick up UW again next month. Will test my readiness at the end of this month by Kaplan simulated questions, and NBME form 3 in the middle of January. I will do only form 3 online. If I can get a score over than 220, I will go for the exam as I planned. Or else will postpone one more week.
Only questions and my notes to work on (already a lot). But will flip through first aid and kaplan notes for pictures, tables and graphs.

Thanks, friends,for coming by and for your encouraging words.
I began to touch the Kaplan IM and prepare to finish in four days. Got so so scores for the first three blocks of questions. Felt happy because I still have time to strenghthen my weak areas. Those are long and confusing questions, I could hardly finish any one on time. Have to practice to speed up my reading pace. For those ong and unfamiliar questions, there is no time left to think. So I have to really digest every important concept and stick each one of them in my brain. Must be very very familiar with every single concept.
Time to fully concentrate. Work hard, that is the only way to get a nice score.

What you wrote is so important, about to be familiar with the concept, actually it is very inspirational, because sometimes it is so easy to read fast and procastinate "i will find out later" or "of course, i already knew this" or "i will see the way to figure it out during the test". I want to kill that kind of thoughts that can drive me away of a good score. Keep it up!!!

This morning, my hubby (who is now in China because of my mother-in-law's colon cancer) told me the new findings on her case. After aggressive primary cancer resection, and intensive systemic chemotherapy, they just found out a new metastasis in her liver which was not there two months ago before the resection. I was thrown off the hook right away because I was assuming without metastasis, her 5 year survival rate would be very high. She is only 65 years old. She always treats me as her own daughter. It is a devastating news. Now all I can do is praying for her. Only God can work out miracles. But I can't help myself thinking of her and all the possibilities related to this.
Life is unpredictable. Cherish every moment we have, love the people around us would be the most important thing to do in the life. After all, knowing us being loved makes us happy; being able to love makes other people happy because of us. And as doctors, we will have more opportunites to love unknown people. I have to work hard to become a person being able to love unrelated and unknown people. God be with me, and help me concentrate.

very sorry to hear this njcjzy.........
you always have been the one to give us hope through all the tough circumstances......,
now it's time for you to give your self some of it..
life is going on njcjzy......and you never know what is going to happen tomorrow....not even what's going to happen after one minute.....
but the thing that no one knows either is what is good and what is bad for you.....
when some one we love goes into some very stresfull situation and we feel like if the life is going to an end...may be this bad thing happening to him is for his benefit some how and we don't know....we never know njcjzy...we never know what God is preparing for us or for the people we love.....but the only thing we can think of is that God will never do us something bad....it's always good in some how but we just don't know.
we will all pray that every thing goes to her favour and her good.......

Hi Multifactoral, Ivonne, Nany and Feyza, I am so overwhelmed by your kindness and support. Yes, we can not control anything of our life, not saying others, only God can (except that we need to work hard on our part). So praying is the only and best thing to do. And from all these difficulties, we will cherish more of our health and our life, and want to contribute more when we can.
Thanks friends. Let's all work hard to be capable and strong and useful. Best wishes to all of you.
