I decided to start this tread today. I have some motivation and perseverance issues. I want to start fresh.
I started in august, after years of contemplating the exam
i have already read Kaplan physio, path, micro and immuno; lippincott biochemistry, HY embryology, once while doing BSS Qs. this month, I will do Pharmaco twice and restart patho, this time Goljan and finish BSS to start Qbank in january

Yesterday, I did 52 questions on BSS with explanations. This Bank is really hard. I only got 45% right of 52. I screwed all the physio Qs. One reading of physio with the dvd lectures is not enough. I was on call at the hospital yesterday. I went there at 6 PM, was back home at 8, but I lost the focus...Lost the evening.
Today my goal is 2 chapters of Lippincott pharm, 100 Qs and 2 chapters of goljan path audio. wish me luck!

I haven't heard of them. How do they compare to Kaplan and UW? If you don't mind me asking, which country are you from and is it possible for you to do a housejob and study??
Is there any job that doesn't require so many hours of work and that one can do while studying?

I bought those books a long time ago. It is not the same style as the actual exam, but it tests the same content. I use them with the first reading, I'll suscribe to UW after the 2nd read. A friend of mine gave me the Kpln Qbank on a usb. Some questions lack the answer though. But I want to be prepared first. I am from Haiti and I still work as an internist on call that is btwn 1 and 5 hours of work, it is not much but I had to quit my 40 hours job, it included guards, the day after was lost. Most of the jobs here require full time and frequent trip to the countryside. the pay is good but it is exhausting. LuckyI still live with my parents.

Back from work. I am trying to focus on some pharm qs. Though I understand, I am not retaining and it scares me... I resisted turning on the TV. I'll skip gym today to make for the lost time:

HI papio. cool avatar.
I am from South Asia.
Good luck! I need to move- too many lectures are making my legs crampy 
did you do HY Biostats?
Sometimes you think you are not retaining but you are retaining something. When you go over it again, it'll be easier. That's what i am telling myself now or i'd be stuck forever!!

I have only been over physio (long time ago) and patho (though that was a reading i didn't retain much) i did brs and kaplan (no time for goljan nw - sorry) though i did hear two lectures - they were good but toooo much info!! i won't be able to move fwd if i hear them!! some of my good friends did well without them so i think i should skip them.
and now BS.
Next is micro - whenever i get done with BS.

I just did 2 chapters of pharmacology today and 25 Qs.
I went to the gym, felt so relaxed, ate and went to sleep at 6:00 PM.
I hope to do better tomorrow.

I am starting Kaplan Qs NOW. I used BSS, the 5 volumes on a CD, as companion with my first read. Since I wanna take UW in january, I am startint Kaplan early, because I ain't done with BSS.
