Hai dowjunk
If you can post ur friend majids experience on his behalf or if he shares his experience with us. That will be great guide for all of us here ( well atleast for me as he would have prepared from sources here and much more similar conditions to ours though he must be fresh grad).
Congrat to your friend .
Best of luck in your Prep.

Dr123 i have requested him to share his detailed experience.
And for my share of update: did half of neuropatho from goljan, some more qbank physio stuff and liver/pancreas still left. I went to a friend's place to discuss some already read stuff. i occassionally do that with my prep partner, once every week 4-6hrs of some topic by topic discussion. We did physio today!
I really want to finish some bulk of patho tomorrow as from saturday to tuesday i am going to do neuroanatomy's second read isA!
Long Long way to go!

lol, I thought you might sympathize  ........neuropathology requires lots of cramming, I gave up half way through; and yeah the neuroanat that I did so many months back was hindering with my concepts, so I had the lockedin syndrome, lol!
at the moment I am trying to fight my way through the liver/pancrease thing....its all too much!
My lil brain is totally saturated,  4hrs of goljan audio today, with that thick book, shew......I hope to see my target acheived

Salaam,
I just peeked into your journal and it looks like we have the same goal time limit wise. Goljian is a great lecturer, I've listened to the lectures three times and still learn something new each time. I am a bit slow at absorbing info so most likely you will learn it all your first go-round. Inshallah you will make that 99!

Thanks speaksoftly and dr123!
dr123, I like your inquisitive way of busting others....... , lol. ANd speaksoftly, please start peeking in more often .....i heard gvoljan the first time when i was in my fourth years, hes a pathoguru for sure! If u link absorbing to cramming, then do count me in.........i like making concepts and applying them but this cramming in step1 is a hell of an ask! Lets keep the hard work going!
I am doing neuroanat e my friend these days and hope to see it end witin a couple of days....will restart with patho then isA!
May Allah bless us with success!

You now what I like so much about Guljian? He seems like an average guy who decided to really dig in his heels and learn the material. Now everyone says he's supersmart but he denies this, he says he has to read something many times before understanding it. And he also is a believer, he was healed from having AML and states very clearly that it was all to God.
SO even though we have to struggle and battle while learning this material, remember that others have done it with even less than we have. We will conquer this test, inshallah!

Goljan Audios do take time.but Once u r done with them you will be Super Patho man.
LapTop-- UniPalza & Techno city full of LapTops more than 2000 Shops there in a mall. I bought one in necessity but LapTop fever in city has to do something with it though not the costliest and not the latest but the coolest one .I want to save some money for coming days till match.
Best Of luck in oversoming Goljan Audios.

Thanx dr123 yeah we'll be needing huge bucks for ahead......but uni is somewhere i really dont trust, full of cheats....i have been fooled many a times there...so cant imagine getting any tech from there. Well I'll be needing a laptop while giving NBMEs and stuff due to power breakdown here in khi, so have asked my brother to gift it to me. You know i get 6000rs a month 4m ma internship, which all burns up with my fuel, lol! So cant dream of buying anething, lol...........
Anyways, I really dont think I am a super patho man as yet  , although I have finished more than 90% of patho RR and audios! The remaining include genetics and some part of blood.
