Hi everybody!
Thank you for running this forum. I get really inspired by all the journals I read. I have a big problem with my motivation, I can not concentrate and keep being focused. This journal is my last hope for help. It takes me for ever to start reading every day. I hope to feel stupid to do not have any progress to write here. Ugh, let's hope!

So, I plan to take my exam late Feb 08. I' m starting full time study and I'll take all December off. In total, I have 4mo, I'll study 5day/week and do qs during the week-ends.
Here is my plan:
Oct-Nov: IM+Ped
Nov: Psych
Jan: Sur+Ob/Gyn
I'm starting with my weakest now: Ped

My data:
Female Img, Graduated in June 2003
Interested in Surgery

Ok, read study tips (Qbook), did study plan and finished Diagnostic test from Kaplan. I'll try to get results during the week-end to see my weak areas (even I know them pretty wel:o))
I'll also go on-line to check all prices for UW and mayby Qbank to do my "Study Budget"
Thinking about buying:
Step-up medicine, IM qs by Conrad Fischer because Im is my weak area and I need to rock this exam.

Well.
Going thru Peds which I hate the most. Good new is that it can not get any worst. Bad new is that it's pretty exhausting now.
I did NOTHING during the week-end. Well, not really true. I did like 3 qs from NMS.
Yestreday, I did first 2 chap in Peds (Kaplan). Not bad performance but I absolutely need to speed up. Also need to do questions.

Well, I get a bit distracted by CS results. I PASSED!!!!!!!! ahoooooooooou
Well, back to business..
I did chapters 1-3 in Peds plus video
PreTest Ped qs - coressponding to my study topics
I did 30 NMS, however, I decided to switch to Mock - it has nice 50 qs blocks & I neeed to get use to such a organization of qs again. I'll leave NMS for my review period.
