The closer you take from the time you passed step 2 CK, the least you have to study. I heard it's around three months.

3.6 blocks of MCQs to be done.i dont follow certain concepts of UW and some facts i find confusing.......just as in CK.but there must be some missing link which i hope to get by the second reading.
Today gonna finish all MCQs of IM and then move to read the other subjects and do theeir respective MCQs.the last 3 days of week for CCS.

finished surgery and psychiatry.
was thinking of finishing gynec and pedia too........but it seemed impossible with the qts!
Now am thinking of doing CCS tomorrow.wed-thurs-friday.
then start doing pedia and obgyn and Behavioral sc. left in theory.
214 qts in UW left to do.i dont know if i'll beable to do all this in a single day,with a sunday in btwn-high probability of somone droping in.
lets see.
Atleast i'll finish CCS notes these days.
will revise UW qts for a week as well as theory bfr i do NBME.i dont want to be in a panic mode after nbme,so cant decide when will be the optimal date.i have only 1 month to prepare for the exam.

hey Dr.shailu,
you are most welcome to join this trackbook.
i dont have any study partner right now ,so it really helps me stay focused(whtever energy i can gather for it!)
hmmmmmmm,so the day started with one rejection but got a call too.
i wish everyday is like that....i'd be luck to be invited to 50 colleges!lol
so back on track.
did all office CCS today.emergency cases left and there r 44 of them with 24 hrs in my hand to finish them!i dont want to make it a sloppy thing,but i've been wasting my time for sometime,didnt follow my schedule and now all this rush.
will be following my schedule and pray to god things go on at the right pace and i dont loose my sanity.
god give everyone the courage to face what we have in hand and acceptance for what we cannot change and faith to know we can do anything we set our heart to.
amen

hey step32007,
MCQS are UW.for theory am only doing my old CK notes.dont know if they r enough or not.
so doing CCS today.i dont know why i feel so stressed out doing CCS?maybe its to be done with other things like reading notes,but today will be my last day,so strech yourself smal and complete them.it seems i've been doing them forever!although i feel am narrowing down and categorizing things how and whn to do,but am afraid if i'll be able to catch the cases rt in exam.i am practicing with one case of usmle CD so that other cases will be left for me to practice.
go get them!

completed my UW notes yesterday.
i feel this rush to revise all marked UW qts but then i think i should revise theory first,i am just pushing the reading part as far off as possible.
think will do 50-50,so that i dont waste time making decisions and wondering.

the pedia from Kaplan is still left but i did ID.reading CK notes seem to be taking a longer time now.i am reading line by line,thinking if this is the only thing i am doing then i should do it properly.Ya i have to rush.reading UW notes,doing UW 2-3 blocks and reading Kaplan notes for now.As such if you see the UW qts some of them are new facts but majority are twisted form of step 2,trying to give you more details about the same conditions and somtimes confusing will it.But am guessing person who wrote it must be smarter than me.so try to understand it.

had 2 more rejections today.
finished UW revision.
now full time IM.Sometimes i feel am not retaining too much,esp today when i got 1 after another rejection and had to pull myself away from surfing while studying.
so hopefully will be completing IM and other sub revision till wed.
then NBME-the devil.
I am not sure how much its going to help me.if i get more than 450 its ok but if its way down the drain,i'll have to rethink.
goodluck.

finished pedia and most of IM and UW.
the thing is since i was doing all miksed blocks,i have now to sggregate the notes!a big task.planning to give NBME soon too.
i always feel a big part of me rushing to check mails and forums as to see if ppl are getting interviews.I am not serious enough ,i am to give exam in 15 days.
this is scary.
but try everyday and with the everyday effort i would feel confident on the exam day.
be focused
