Hi this is just to keep me motivated each and every day for the next 17 days. I feel there is a lot of human capital on here that can benefit each of us, and none of us are above asking for help and direction, its an innate quality. We get, we give. I also want to be on here when im feeling down or bored rather than facebook, which only brings me further away from my studying. So this prep journal will basically serve to keep a check on myself...and maybe ppl can chime in as well...but whatever happens, I know this will do the trick! It will atleast allow me to write down my thoughts and talk to myself..and keep pushing myself.
So today im doing my revision of last nights UW block and will do inshallah 3 blocks in a row!! (first time) and review them all before the end of today.
Tommorow my plan is to hit up RR path, the next day FA, both days are there just to rapidly brief through the two books so i can get a better sense of my knowledge for the nbme i will take the following day. Unfortunately i have a meeting in the city that morning to discuss delaying my anesthesia research rotation by a week (this will allow me to take the exam on the 30th instead of 22nd). The meeting will take up half the day im sure so i will have to begin nbme 1 around 4 or 5 pm. Inshallah the preceptor is understanding and will give me the first week off.
Judging by how i perform that day on the nbme 1, i will chart out a strategy, with the help of prep4usmle members ofcourse! Im going to start reviewing my weak points by browsing FA or goljan, but NO kaplan...i have never read kaplan so reading new content at this juncture will be counterproductive - if FA or goljan doesnt have the info, (most likely ill be weak in molecular and cell bio...), ill have to hit questions in qbook for the particular topic. Thats the game plan so far.
I dont know what I need improvement on or whether I can even finish it all before the 30th of august. Inshallah i will take the exam one way or another. Esp because the next day, i have a cousins wedding in florida and dont want myself to come back from that and have to take the exam - that will get me out of my flow, which is the most important part of test taking.
Ok, my first entry done....wow i already feel a little more stable about my studying!
