not as good as it sounds inkspot smiling face I was aiming for like 100 per day but cant do more than 60-65...not bc Im not on it , Im on my table for like 7-8 hrs but explanations eat like 20 min for each Q ... maybe I will get used to it and speed up ...
the results are not very encouraging either but I already decided that I wont count them to assess myself bc I only read everything once ... so UW is another book for me nod thats why I was doing it in tutor mode but friend keep saying " Do it timed " rolling eyes

Today i will be starting my first read of psy. its more like beh science to me. InshaAllah 4-5 days would be enough dealing with it. after that ill start with UW and plan to do 100 daily along with revision and hopefully finish it by the end of this month.

Aha! so you are enjoying UW. I think that we should master at least one resource for instance kaplan notes and use FA as a last days brush up but it varies...whatever makes you happy gringringrin

I really am enjoying UW Ivonne , indeed ! I love the Qs and I love learning them ...its only the narrowing time and stupid interruptiond that drive me crazy ... I was planning Secrets but in the deep places f my brain , Im conditioned to the fact that FA must be read , and that feeling will make me feel incomplete on th exam day if one of you here convince me here that its not so confused

actually Feyza FA is not a must at all......

I mean that there may be some extra information in it but you'll get them already from UW ,

so I don't think that if you leave it you'll miss much



Good Luck Dear nod

[NB] Hi Ivonne gringrin...miss you

Well its correct.......there are no hard and fast rules. Do what suits you.

My experience is that I was doing Kaplan and it was good but the thing is that after two pages I used to lose my concentration and my mind used to wander here and there. So, I needed a book which was concise, to-the-point and a time saver. So I shifted to B&W. After reading few sections of it, I realized that its insufficient and lacks severly not to forget there are some mistakes in it too. I then compared other stuff that I had and it was FA, Crush and Secrets. No doubt that the latter two can be good adjunctive to the study but definitely cannot be a substitute for the hard core text. That left me with no option but to do FA so I started off with it.

To my utter surprise I found it extremely targetted, concise and to-the-point with board relevant stuff nicely mentioned there. I agree that its not a perfect solution but to me proved the best solution. My only regret is I started it little late. I am going to supplement it with Secrets definitely.

This is just my humble opinion not meant to confuse you. But as I said initially, there is no hard and fast rule, do what you feel comfortable with. Keep dong UW its undisputedly the best mcq source.

Hey Feyza...come down

getting it wrong now better that getting it wrong in the exam, here you still have the chance to improve your self and learn from your mistake.....

take it to your advantage dear,every one forget any thying , it's a human nature grin....just give it a rapid review and then get another exam and you'll see the difference nod

heyy mydream smiling face Q book is my bedside stuff... I just turn a few pages everyday ... makes you feel like queen after UW grin
I cant do more than 2 blocks a day from UW , in like 7-8 hrs, bc I read the explanations line by line and make notes ... it may be bc of my lack of knowledge so I dont wanna mislead you but now that you will do it along with your read , which is great I think, bc it gets boring as the only thing to be done , maybe you will have to consider more than 1 mo to subscribe ... its 2300 Qs in total ...
