Saima, me too like this pic...........so much of innocence in her face....the white hijab(forgive me if it is wrong spelling/ word) reflects it.

So kids are having a blast at, I can imagine that!!!

How do you keep them busy otherwise?

Me going crazy here...... even with mom's help.

Yaar, writing step 1 is becoming a challenge anyways....(I wish I was not thinking like this)

Missing you......

you are welcome saima bud smiling face

Peace every one,

Hmmmm...... its been few days since I type something here....feel like ages raised eyebrow
My kids are going to summer school since three days, and now my real test begins....I am studying...thank God....that frustration is gone, which started with summer! grin Alhumdolillah!

Now I am studying bio and immuno after this one week break...yes, my time table ruined....but thats OK....I knew that there will be ups and downs!
So I am not in panic! sticking out tongue
Alhumdolillah!

BUT.....please guide me, as now when I started bio again, what I am doing....I writing all important points, in separate paper, it is taking tons of time, but the good thing is ,it is helping me in remembering, otherwise....you know....my upper story is completely empty! (always)
So tell me ....sec read bio...what is good...quick read or taking my time!
The problem is that, it is more hard work (any hard work is harder for me wink )
and it is taking more time, ex:2 hrs and 6 pages kln!!!!

Anyways...

Rest is perfect! alhumdolillah...may we all have compassion for others!

[b]sigh[b/] how r u? how is ur friend 5floorouracil doing?

take care,

salam Dr.Samia smiling face good to hear you are back on studying as hard as u can... thanks alot for visiting my journal when i was sick, jazak allah... nod i feel like you are the heart of this forum and what a sweet hear nod thanks alot for your support

As for bio... i think the 2nd read is better to be fast so that u get the big picture and dont get lost in little things.. i dont know if this is the right way or not but this is the way i did it, my 2nd read was fast... and you will keep seeing these things over and over again through FA and answering Qs...

i wish u the best in studying now that the kids are busy and all nodcool ah and congradulations on the new laptop our dear dr.Samia grin

Hi saima, Its been a long time, but i do think of u all, all the time, just getting to the computer for any lenght of time is a challenge now that i've temporarily gone back to being a mom full time. I can see that u r back in the groove

For Bio saima if u did a good first reading, then speed up on the 2nd reading because u have yet to do a third and fourth and fifth......... Reading just kidding , but u atleast have to do 3-4 readings so if each of u r readings r going to be like the first u r not going to finish it soon, and my advice would be dont write down the important points from the kaplan lecture notes bcoz almost every point is going to be important and u will be rewriting the whole of the lecture notes. instaed jsut underline them in u r text. Keep u r target as 10 pgs / hr, if u go 1 or 2 pgs under thats fine but 2hrs for 6 pgs is just not going to do it. also Remember saima the more numer of times u read it the better u r going to remember, its the number of times not for how long u read it that is going to help u. just try it and see, At the end of 1 hr and 8-10 pgs if u feel u dont remember anything dont worry u will always have u r next reading to refesh u r memory, but u have to conc when u read, dont read for the sake of reading but do understand what u r reading, i dont think even memorization helps. at the stage we r in. anyway all the important points r in FA which u have to anyway read 4-5 times in the end, so plz dont waste u r time writing. Trust me i've been there and done that, i used to be that way and realized it is not helping me in anyway. The more number of times u read u r material the better u will remember it.

Reption is the key saima for this exam. See, we have very little time at our disposal what with kids and other responsibilities, so what ever time we have we have to make the best use of it,

these r the things that r going to help us for the exam

Kaplan videos, watch during the first reading

Kaplan LN- read atleast 3-4 times the more number of times u read it the better u will remember the material. (writing it down does not help in the long run. instaed become so familiar with u r LN that it feels like u r own notes. becoz almost every point in the LN is important.

UW-if u really want to write, u can write down the educational objectives from UW into a seperate book or into u r FA like i did, and maybe some explanations that u want to remember, do not write everything down u will not have time to review it. write down only that which is absolutely essential. if everything seems essential then dont write it down just read it from where it is.

FA, u have to read this book at least 4-5 times that is a min, it has the most important points the cream of the crop

NBME. keep forms 3,5 ,6 for the end so u can use them to asses u r self, but the othe forms uesp 1,2 u can do to start on the nbmes make sure u do the nbmes atleast twice some of the q's on the nbmes r direct from nbme so u dont want to miss them it might be the q that will get u an above 90 score.

well i think that is enough advice, for now, i hope this helps. and Saima, am praying for u and all my friends here always. Just keep at it . TC
