hi everyone....

got my score....99/253.... me sooooooooooo happysmiling facesmiling facesmiling face

i thank every one in this forum for the support...this forum especially scores thread gave me lot of strength and courage during my preparation

i`m img from india....started prep during my internship.... serious prep was from june 21st.... i read very haphazardly.... read some subjects for 4 times and some 5 times...i did`t follow any time schedule...

mistakes i did

1)reading too much...at the begining i used to read lots of books...l8r realised kaplan is more than enough... seriously guyz...STICK TO KAPLAN....it is more than enough....

2)i started watching dvds during last 3 months of my prep... i feel clubbing dvds with first read is better...

3)the silliest of all---->did not check answers to nbme qs nd one Q was repeated in my examgringrin

i followed goljan for path.... rest all kaplan... did not see web path as i did not have so much time.....

and ppl... plz don`t think exam is easier than uw... the qs i got were much tougher than uw.... they were not about some rare disease or some weird conditions...the qs were about normal stuff but twisted in a very extrordinary way.....

time management was not a big issue... i had 10 min left in all the blocks....sufficient to revise marked Qs....took break aft each block...so i was not at all tired during the exam...

my uw score---->70%(unused,subject wise,timed mood)

nbme-2 ----->245(10 days before exam)

exam date ------>29th nov

score reported on--->19th dec

i saw my score on 20th dec.gringringrin

i feel this post is more haphazard than my preparation....jut can`t do anything in a systematic waynodnodgrin

once again i thank everyone in this forum.....

Congratulations!!!nodnod

Do you think Kaplan DVDs help a lot? It's so time consuming. We'd better watch them all or you have some subjects prefered?

Thank you very much and happy new year!
