we are pretty much alike AD.... thanks for your suggestions..... all my life my parents have had one problem with me ie i don't wake up at the time they expected..... its not that i like sleeping... coz i can stay awake for any time,the trouble is one slept i hate to wake up... you'l be amazed to know how i used to find ways to sleep a few minutes extra.... hide at different places so that my parents don't know i'm still asleep..
anyways good thing is i am doing better day by day...may be its the anxiety setting in,coz not many days are left... only 36 more.... i slept at 1 last night and was up and out of bed by 8:20... even started to study by 9AM... now i hope that it continues this way...... there's so much to do that i can't afford to lose a lot of time sleeping...
i read FA for an hour,now will start questions... two blocks from UW...

sos ,
my parents actually made me go to a doctor during my 12th standard because they thought i was sleeping too much ...
and he found that i may be anemic
the real reason was i was well prepared then , so slept a lot as a reward for previous months' efforts
did not dare to tell anyone that at that time , lest the results came out bad

thanks tia and milee for the visit...
milee somebody had suggested the same anemia thing to me as well a week back.. i got my Hb checked ,its 10.......... i really don't know if it was kind of slowing me down..... but 10 was low anyway so i started taking better care of my self... and i am improving in my sleeping habits as you can see,plus i have started looking healthier...,though i feel i am putting on some weight too,but its better to be a little plump and get a 99 than be slim and get a low score...... i'm sure you'l agree....
well i've done only 75 questions today... was too fed up i guess... moreover it makes 400 more left,and i will take them in sets of two in next foru days... good thing is i've finished micro and pharmac in FA... now systems are left and i will continue to read little bit of FA daily...
i had planned to take 8 tests continuously as in real exam but i've dropped the idea coz i hate to do the answer reviews after a long gap after solving questions... i just get too bored and then don't see the answers properly,which is not advisable....... i will take the kaplan simulator for practice... also i have the downloaded NBME ,i can take. 7 blocks of that at a row.... but after i have revised once...
presently i mark most of questions incorrect because i have forgotten a lot of things.......

awww thats so sweet of you SOS .....I know we all sometimes do stuff which hurts our parents esp. moms but im sure they never take it to the heart and they always forgive us no matter what it is ....and i think being in a desi family is a boon for us cuz our parents do soo much for us , i mean i sit at home and read and do nothing and my mom makes dinner and does evrything without ever complaining ......so we all suld be really thankful to our moms !!!

thanks CK... how's your prep going?
AD i did not make that switch... actually i never intended to switch ,but since i was so unsure of my last time's prep i wanted to supplement kap physio with BRS ... but then when i started kaplan and did it again i found it was enough.... so i chose to stick to it.. moreover i never really could find time for BRS.... its untouched...
well i did make a switch to GOljan path from kap path but then the reasons for that are obvious.. as for the physio i think kaplan is sufficient.
tia i am doing okay.... thanks for dropping by... only 30 days left for me... so i am kind of stressed out as to how to go about it those days.
i finished all the unused questions in UW.my cumulative score was 68% and 75th percentile.... and i have performed the worst in anatomy,histology , physio and pathophysio...
among the systems i did very poorly in renal
now i need to work on these as well as everything else...plannig to take NBME sometime soon... UW will expire on 12th morning ,so until then i am going to revise UW questions.and i stil have some backlog in paho and anat....
OMG... how am i going to do it.... i also want to listen to goljan audios second time coz i did them long time back..... any suggestions please.....its like this: on 12th march i'l be left with 26 days and in those 26 days i gotta .............complete my backlog and the second read... and listen to papi and take at least one NBME and then save some time in the end for a last look.. how can i manage all this? i am really very stressed out about this.... and it has to be on 7th april coz i've booked my CS date as well .... and one more thing ,this time i have not yet read Behavioural science at all.. i mean its untouched almost except for the ethics and stats part... but in UW i got 80%.... though only 60th percentile.. ppl must be doing very good in that i guess.... so what shall i do about behavioural...... its actually embarassing to make all thse confessions but i think its high time i do something about it...

What's up SOS,
I have been freaking out a lot about the exam lately...I lost 4 days like that, unable to concentrate.
My worst subject in UW are patho, and pathophys and anatomy too...
This means I'll have to dedicate special time to them...
So my plan is to hit Goljan daily until the exam... this should work!
My step2 CS date is booked too...in august-I hope to change it to early july or late june...
Bye and gl with your prep

SOS, thats ok, i am sorry i was not here, i went to bed after sending you the mail last night, it was midnight, my private message exceeded. i sent you a mail too, but here its fast,
when you download from megaupload, you first click the link, then megaupload site will appear, in the top, it will say type this, 3 letter or number sometime, you type that and click on download next to that, then its easy, let me know again if you have problem,
