hi all
i know u all must be waiting for it but i moved the day of my exam and so had no net connection...sadsadanyways ....thank god now i can write it here....i am going to write a brief one right now as my whole house is a mess with baby jumping all over the place....just wanted to say it was pretty doable.first block was pathetic though ...it wasnt good ...my exam went ok...each block finished just at the time ..65% was like i knew them and could easily eliminate the other choices ....20% i had to think over for over a minute but then those which i knew took 12 sec....i didnot leave any qs but in the 5th block my shoulder started aching ...did some stretching there ...and then i felt fine ...the 15%were i had no idea of just went ahead with a guess..people the exam was wayyyy too easier than UW...i mean the choices..but overall the exam was between nbme and uw..dont forget to do uw.....and one thing more when my first block went bad i dint panic...so people dont panic ..leave the rest on Him and He Will Help u ....also i took a break after the first block ,then after 4th block...had my lunch,red bull...after 5th block i felt severe pain so people practise for an 8 hour exam and then 5 min break after each 6 th and 7th block.....also i slept around 11 and woke at 7 ..thats it
wish me luck guys .....and plz pray for my score
thanku soo much all my dear forum friends who have always been with me ....good luck for all those studying
Ps ..dont follow my advice until i get my score ..

regarding subjects..pathophysio mostly tested ,not a lot of pharma but i would say all subjects were equally tested so prepare all well but pathophysio heavily ...goljan helped me alot...his words were echoing in myears ...i even got qs from his jokes!!!so people listen to what he says..he truly has the number for this exam

thanks all....jazz i did uw first round reading then realized i wasnt retaining much so i started writing only educational objective nd read the rest ...it was excellent for micro and behavior ...esp ethics ...2nd round i wrote whatever i knew was wrong in fa and found that almost everything is in fa ...the rest i guess i knew it or i could find easily in fa....even 1 day before i was doing 100-150 qs of uw...so keep on writing but dont write the whole explanation coz its time consuming and as u do it 2nd and 3rd times u wont need to write evverything just that whuch u are forgetting....gl

Best of luck
