hi
i have just 45 days to my exam and i do every day 50-100 qs of UW by subject besides reading that subject without reading the explanations ,and sometimes i reached 65-70% but now when i back to those qs that i did them before i forgot many of the materials and my score is not good ..
i had plan to read the explanations in the second time that i did the qs to find out how is my preparation going on(i mean can i improve my score just by studing without reading the explanations) but what should i do now?i forgot many of them and i don't know how i can memorize all these materials,please, do you have any sudjestions for me ?what can i do in the last days to remember these stuffs..

hi. aww dont stress. i hope my advice is beneficial.
with me, i get so lazy to sit through 50 UW questoins and then read the explnanations, i start rolling my eyes and give up
so what i do is, study on tutor mode. that way, when i pick a wrong answer its locked in-so i cant cheat by reading the tutor info and then changing my answer. but same time, after each questoin i answer the explanation comes up. it is a GREAT method i find, because when you are doing the question at that moment, you are curious and interested in what the answer is, and why, and how well you are doing.
whereas when i haev to read the explanations after, im like "meh" if i did good i just simply dont read it. which is very bad to do.
so try it this way, i hope it helps,
i suggest, that u read a source, ie-cns in first aid. and then use UW to test urself on it.
organ based is the best, because theat is how the test is organized, and organizes your study schedule easily.
do cns , in first aid. memorize it, do it well. then do it in UW. then take goljan for cns, and just make sure u got all the info down. then do UW for cns patho.
then do cvs, then resp, then git, then endo, then renal, then musc, then hemato, onco, then biochem, n then micro .
lol tha sounds intimidating but trust me, u have ample time if you follow my way.
i dedicated 2 days per organ. one day for ALL FIRST AID for it, which would be the physio, anat, pharm and path. then the second day was goljan at the begininning, and then UW all day.
avoid using audios and other devices. i feel like they are a crutch we use, but really if we just spend an extra 10 mins with the concept it will be just as comforting. time is wasted, by listening to audios you should already know by now.
i hope i helped
best of luck

oh also. if you are doing banks, most of htem save your test history. you can just pop open a test, and it will have the explanation automatically. saves u a hassle of writing the test over again. and u can see what ur mistakes were, and why you put certain answers.
it will restore your confidence if you were doing so well
