kity i know what you're going through.. i do hope your prep goes well though. i have started with usmleworld trying to finish it up in 2 weeks, have gone thru 30% so far but as expected, it is going slow for a couple of reasons: one, because it takes me 3-4 hrs to complete a test, and two because evidently i am not in the mood for questions books and studying anymore and would do anything else anyway, lets take a deep breath and stick to a schedule... at the end of the line there's something good waiting for us. we have come far. we know we can do it! good luck

yes kity i have started with UW MCQs. have finished 40% so far. they are ck-like only more picky...i'm scoring an average of 65, random, unused so far, and i am not happy with it. i seem to have lower scores in office settings and higher in emergency. there are many things i do not know and i try to take notes again, just like i did for step1 and 2ck. i dont have patience to sit down and do questions for hrs in a row anymore though and thats the big problem. i will continue until i finish these questions (i have two weeks left for that) after which i will read the review books everyone reads and do that ccs cases. i will do more questions afterwards. good luck everyone. try to enjoy it, it wont work otherwise.. making big big efforts myself

Hi alexaE, I graduated last year, so without any experience in real medical practice. that makes me more anxious rather than studying, as people say its more about medical practice year. but have to do. yesterday went to sleep after one tiny chapter from FA will start FA+ crush today. will try to get done with both till sunday
