I screwed up big time sunday...I was tired, had to cook sunday dinner, and ended up doing only one block Q & Explan....

Monday:I did study,

yesterday, my car wouldn't start, so I ended up wasting like 5 hours. I did study in the evening, 3 blocks of UW, then I was sleepy...

Now today's plan: 4 blocks of UW+Expl

patho goljan, physio and pharm in First aid

I have to make up for the lost time!

I did about 200Qs today, but my reading is slowing down...

Tomorrow, Pretest pathophysio to boost those scores.

Good luck to everyone on this forum.nod

How are you doing?
What are you scoring these days in UW?

Hopefully you went over your plateau of 60%.



  #107

Now, my scores are getting better-even though my cumulative is still 60% -, I even scored 80% twice and those were new Qsnod.

My average is now in the 70s, but with a lot of up and down...

Now I am covering my fragile points, subject, by subject...and there are a lot of them...

Overall I am happy with the job already done, but there is much to do stillcool

I do believe one can ace this exam by giving everything...it is only 1 and a half year...

Small sacrifice for a lifetime as a doctor in the US...

hi papio... i didn't know you were doing UW too.... good you're enjoying it.

downloaded NBME is the NBME questions,all four forms with an answer key,which you can download and try,thus saving a lot of $s ... which you otherwise have to spend to take them... good thing is you have the questions and a key ,you can review those questions.... its helpful as many people say thet got qs from NBME..

but the disadvantage of downloaded forms is you can't get profile that online NBME gives you.... so i will be taking NBME from 2 online and i have all four of them downloaded....nod

i hope i answered your question...smiling face

keep studying.


  #118

good news, I still remember some of the goljan audio, actually most of itnod.

But I am desperate, I am making all this effort in order to find a nice hospital in the NY area... I will be graduated since 6 years in nov, at the time of my application...

i am working hard, last simulation, UW 200 Qs, 3 hours, 73%. I can do it but I wonder how deep my medical age will hurt...confused.

  #123

In my last simulated exam, I averaged 73-repeat qs exam mode.I think that is good, By the end of the month, I'll average the 80s...

Now , I am reviewing Kaplan downloaded versin- some answers are missing- and physio Qbank. After eye fatigue, now my lips cracked and hurt. I have been taking vitamin B though...

I am planning to take NBME 1 monday after next.

How are u doing with the stress Tia?

Hi, Thanks Papio for suggesting a live study partner, I just don't know how the dinamic would be, I have never ever studied in a group or with someone, always alone. But I will try that suggestion. Thanks, bye, good luck on the nbme, let us know how you do. Ciao.
