thanks for visiting cute kity
AD may be you are right..... actually i hope so.... till date i have done 7 blocks in UW,all random and timed and for five of them my score varied between 54 and 64... my lowest until now was 50....
the thing is i take too long to review the questions and am already lagging behind on my set schedule for UW.... but the problem is i can't hurry myself there coz what's the use if i don't read those explanations properly and in my case i end up writing many things and it takes too much time... and yesterday when i was expecting to meet my day's plan... the internet went away.... i ended up wasting a lot of time instead and then slept early...

Hi SOS , some open the corresponding books to see uw contents & most r saying is in almost all books we r using , but have not try yet , so far almost all onoff line frds r saying it .
So may b when review answer, u can try that way to avoid writing alot, since now a day we get use to type so writing is not fast thing, or may b u can type too , as ur best way in any way look in books or typing or ur writing way now.
Anyway u choose, do not put the mind that take long unless longer than it should , so that will ease u , happy mood will make ur study faster & smooth like a nice breeze .

thanks shwe... i have started to do UW subjectwise.... it kind of saves some time at least coz i can first review the text briefly and then solve questions... i even score better this way and it gives a moral boost as well....
i am doing a lot of experimenting with UW actually ...... earlier i was doing timed,random mode,all subjects.. ofcorse unused questions only.... but that was more time consuming..... now i have started subjest wise... it takes lesser time and i think its even better to learn this way,coz you are oriented for a subject and then everything comes in a flow.... at the same time i have created some random tests with all subjects and suspended them,which i will do once i finish the remaining subjestwise.....
am planning to take one mock test with UW questions,all unused random blocks,seven together.... so i have reserved 13 blocks for this.... will do seven at one go and the rest of them scattered....
actually to be honest, i am doing okay now with UW.... but the problem is i want to do it fast so that i have enough time to review all the questions and take some tests as well...
let's see how i manage this.... i am writing it all here for two reasons.... someone might get ideas from this in their own prep.... and in case you can give suggestions to improve it,please do so.
shwe.... we can't type while doing UW.unless you have two pcs......... only option is to write ... but the good thing is i don't mind to write..... i kinda like it... i wish i had more hours in the day so i could write at my own leisure without getting worried about spending too much time...

I am glad you are getting good at uw, since you are enjoying writing, i wont say anything, but if you have uw subscription till exam date, you can always come back and see it, or you can even write shortnotes on book. anyway, its your choice. I hope you finish it effectively. you are in a great shape! keep going!

AD the idea of having UW till the exam date is good .... but it is out of my budget... the reason i had taken it now was to finish all the questions and revise and after the subscription ends have enough time to go through the explanations as well as revise kaplan and goljan....
the thought of taking it until the exam never occured to me.... if it had i might have ,but now that i've already started it,extending it till exam date would be costly for me..... well thaks for suggesting... maybe i'l do it for step3 this way....provided i reach till there...... even though i am confident this time and am doing fair in UW and kaplan questions.......... the thoughts of my last step1 result shake me up.....i try my best not to get into negative thoughts.............but i can'r forget it completely.... i want to let go of it but it is not letting go of me.
oh god please help me.

yep, sos, you are right, i couldnt have it till end also, its so expensive to have it for long time, and i spent too much time in writing.
sos, i have to wait until i pm you, because i got a message, that i cant pm more than 5 a day, for me its a new day, but according to the site, i am still on yesterday i guess, thank you for your support, i wrote you the whole answer, i think it didnt go, because of the limit. i will write you again, soon. i hope you are studying hard, keep it up, dear friend.

me feeling toooooo lazy to do anything for last couple of days...... i think it happens coz i don't give myself a good long break,and then a time comes when my body rebels.... well its been two days of doing nothing.. i hope its the end of my break today....
i m sorry journal,i 've not been writing regularly,and today i am confessing that the same might go on for a while now.... i feel bad though,but hen sometimes even thoufgh i feel like writing there is nothing to write..... i wanted to say it for a long time but was hoping that may be i can do better but it seems unlikely.
anyway gotta go now...have to review some UW questions.. BTW last night,i forced my self to do 50 questions in patho and got my lowest UW score.... 48 %.... i have to review that block now.... i

thanks milee and ck for visiting...
yes milee i did take a good long break.... back to the game now... but i'm still kinda slow... i hope pick up pace soon....
truth is i've been allowing myself to be distracted..... i have trained myself to not get distracted anymore coz i know this is my biggest weakness,i get distracted and lose focus.... so i did a good job on myself to not get distracted but i failed myself for a while and have paid a price as well..... but its not late,i can make up to it provided i don't do it again....
ck i'm glad to know your mom's angio came normal... now get back to the track.
keep studying friends....hard work and determination will lead us all to our goals and dreams...

How are your UW scores now?
Mine have been fluctuating a lot lately, but it is a steady progress.
where can I download those NBME forms?
Take care pal!

You are doing good. I like your attitude. Reminds me of myself when I was reading for step 1 and 2ck. Although I had to rush things studying with just 4 weeks for ck and 6 weeks for step 1. My signature which bears my blog address now had just one word written then. 'Fight'.

SOS, getting up in the morning has been a challenge for me all my life, if i am alone i cant get up, if i had to go to bed at 3 and get up at 10, still i failed, overslept. because at 10, there is nobody around to wake me up. one more tips i applied that time is keeping the alarm in restroom, then when it rings, u get up, first splash cold water in your face, then stop the alarm and continue awakening up. GL with studies.
