Next 2 days, I hope will be more productive.........

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.

Best of luck in your preparation.

Taking your advice for KLN's; I used to have solid background of Microbiology during my 4th yeareven with that Jawetz -- dunno about this Kaplan -- General micro at its worst / crammed all together unlike immunology.
But
STICK to Kaplan will add Rapid Review later.
I liked Rapid Reviews Outline format-- easy to revise but thwn FIrst Aid for last days for working guys.
OH MY GOD-- MICROBIOLOGY

dr123, cramming is a hell of an ask, lol......i have finished micro...immuno still to go....after doing it i thot i have crammed it well.but the Qs are pretty awkward..they expect u to classify them acc to age of pts....like noro and ship with kids are strongly related...likewise red eye n pharyngitis in a group of kids will be adeno....always....so we'll have to focus on solvin the puzzle here in usmle..............
8-10hrs a day

Wishing you Blessings of RAMADAN month.
Need guidance regarding Microbiology. How you are studying microbiology for this step one.Simply KLN or MRS or whatever-- watching Kaplan Videos , adding notes from Kaplan Videos to Kaplan Notes -- how.
I am done with Immunology but doesn't remember it . i did Kaplan Videos and KLN.
Your friend Majid wrote KAPLAN + FIRST AID more than enough.
GOD KNOWS.

Thanks dr123 and kg
to my friends who help me during my tuff time: Dr123and keepgoing.....microbio is hell if its ur first read, i just planned on learning 30% of all thats written in my first go! I did that. Now during my second read I thot i should touch atleast 80%, i think i did that considering the cramming portion! But the difficult thing in mle is the APPLICATION OF WHAT U KNOW!!! so i think thats altogether a different road................ a jigsaw puzzle, indeed!
My classmates are producing 98s and 99s now (many dint do their internship): they all agree on one thing KLN for micro is our text/course, MRS is just for us to help ourselves retain. Nothing comes out of KLN! They say no need for DVDs at all! I am strictly following their advice...pretty much eveything worked out well except viral that is an altogether a different world, as i said b4. After our first read, we shouldnt even think that we would remember more than 30%.........
For immuno : dvd is very useful, KLN and dvd were enuff..........i am still to go for my second read and i intend to learn 80% of it again..............

No No Kaplan Videos has some extra points which should be added. Thats my personal view after watching Medically important Bactria Videos.
CHEERS and IFTAR
