to all my friends here in the forum really need ur advice and help
ok so am planning to take exam on DEC 15th
what i have done so far
1)All of kaplan 2 times some may be even 3 times.
2)FA 1 time
3)UW only 15% to date
4)RR 1 time.
Weak points Pharmac &Micro &Behav Sc
Plan of Action from MOndaySay like i have 8-10 hrs /day
1)READ RR everyday 25 pgs,
2)FA 1/2 hr Pharmac 1/2 hr Micro and 1 hr from pg 1 or what ever subject so thats 2 hs FA
3)UW q's rst of the time.hopefully planning to target 100 /day so i have time for a second rev of UW (dont know how successful am going to be esp since am kind of slow in Q's.
My doubt :what do i do about other subjects am scared if i dont do them am not going to remember them but then if i spend time doing them am not going to have time for the Q's. i sound and feel totally confused.
THAT IS WHY I NEED ALL OF U R ADVICE ANY INPUT WHAT EVER PLZ HELP WHAT EVER WORKS FOR U OR PEOPL U KNOW ANYTHING AT ALL. WILL BE WAITING FOR U R ADVICE.THANX..
To catch up here what have you been doing for 10 months? If you have studied you need to get with Q banks and do thousands of practice Questions to condition you to answering all the different Questions from easy to the hard to what you are weak on.
then revise what you are weak on and keep doing Questions.
then do a NBME to see where you are in a bout a month.
If you get better then 450 on an NBME you are ready for the USMLE.
This is what I think and what I'm doing
I may try an NBME next week. So we will see for me.

thanx Melu,AD,little doc and DRFP for u r advice
@melu and AD yeah i guess doing 1-2 days of other subs would probably make me feel a little more in touch with the other subjects and not cut me off absolutley from them and thanx gals for u r support.
@little doc definately plan to mug up the FA and thanx.
@DRFP what i have been doing for 10 months, well ten months ago when i started studying i had 1 hr to spare for my studies and it took me these 10 months to be able to finish my 2 readings,( thank god i get atleast 6-8 hrs study and hopefully i will be able to increase it 8-10 in the next 2 months.)So q's took a back seat while i built the foundation. Well now that i dont have much time left i Guess its time get down to doing Questions. well i wish i had the luxury of time to be able to do thousands of questions but since i dont i gues i have to do the best with what ever i can. I know UW is a must so am doing that i hope i have time enough to be able to do Kap q bank too but i doubt it but am going to try. Thanx Again.

Mjbapana,you have come a long way with determination.
I know how hard it is exactly to read with two kids as I have the same age kids as yours.
It is these last two months that count! As you have planned, do lots of questions to ace the understanding of how to approach and choose the right answers +review subject to mainatin your memory

Thanx melu. so have'nt logged in a while. but have been studying.
almost finished with another reading of Physio. still hav erenals and acid base left to do tomorrow.
Started RR, have finished upto 50 pgs.
Doing FA, micro
Doing uw q's and Q book q's.
All this since monday. going a little slow but every day it is getting a little better,so hopefullyby next week should get betterok my schedule this week has been
9:30-12:30-RR
12:30-1:00 break
1-4:30 physio
4:30-7:00break pick kids from aftyercare and food and showers.
7:00-9:30 UW
9:30-12:00 FA
12:00 -1:30 Q'book
looking at it on paper realise need to put more time in for UW.so where do i fit it in?
maybe after i finish with Physio cut down on time for other subjects and add time to doing UW.will ponder on it for now keep going on the same track for a few daysmay be till next week and will rearrange to increase time for uw.

Wow mjbapana, 13hrs  ! you are becoming a hard task master.
Just make sure it doesn't drain you off. Consistency is the important thing here.
I doubt if I will ever be able to do it!

hello girl,
I am glad you are hanging in there. Keep at it! dont postpone ( I am dealing with it ) - Stick to a date and go for it.......troubles keep coming ...they dont end. But at the same time take it when you feel you are at your best. Best from target
