Hi guys, gave my exam....found it really tough and tiring.....many im,lot of confusing obgyn .....v less surgery...rest were equally represented.....guys i
suggest you actively participate in this forum and answer qs.....due to less time i had,i didnt do much,didnt check ans of all nbme qs....i guess thats where the mistake lay...though i didnt see the exact q but the concepts were the same as nbme so please check all nbme q ans....i did kaplan 3 times and u/w once,wrong qs twice still found exam tough.

actually your concentration on the day of the exam matters so mcuh guys.when i walked into the exam hall feeling dead tired....and had to struggle to focus on the questions.though i had slept for 7 hours day before the exam i was still drained....perhaps the stress of soo many days took a toll on me on the day of the exam. sadsadsad

well for correlation,i was scoring avergae 62 % on u/w and got 400 in nbme 1 ,a month before my exam and 450 in nbme 3 ten days before the exam. i couldnt afford to postpone my test any more as i am getting married in a few days. smiling face

so i had to get over with it. I wish luck to all of you preparing for this test. and my special thanks to Ivonne,njcjzy,bhanusupriya,2match,feyza,doc 1981 for you guys vistied my prep journal and cheered me now and then.

Guys I was the only examinee at the PTC centre at Dhaka , Bangladesh. I think it was tough on the day. Obs-gynae, Paediatrics were a bit more than usual I thought. It will be tough for me even to get the 75% mark I am afraid.

Please guys reading the forum and appeared on 11th,0ct, give their view. We can find some consolation for some time atleast.shocked

Hi,

I appeared in Ck on 25 October in Canada, my exam wasn't easy too, the Qs were very long and twisted, I had to read the qs atleast twice to reach at some decision, time management was the most difficult part for me, i left 2 qs unchecked and 4--5 qs just guesses after reading answers only, so far i found atleast 20 qs which i got wrong clearly, i am depressed,fatigued and nervous too, Oh God plsss give me a good score, i really need one.
