Hi All!

took the test on 31 december.i am img ,graduated 1999 tbilisi med scool in georgia (former soviet republic).i am not perfect in english wrighting,since i did lern the languadge by miself 6-7 years back,so please ignore my mistakes here.

prep.time---7-8 months full time

materials i used;;Biochem--lippincott

microbiol--CMMRS

Phisio-- costanso text book

pathol--Goljan RR,audio lectures (must,must,must!)

anat,neiro-HY

BEh.sc.--FA,Kaplan home study

pharm-lippincott

for all subjects FA,UW 52-56%,Kaplan on line-62-65

did not do any forms of NMBE.

exam day-coud not sleep for 2 nights,so it became difficult on 5-6-7 blocks.Time menagment was no problem,i did two blocks in 1 shot-10min brake- lock3-4-30 min brake-block5-6-then 5min brake only sad

and last7 block.

Over all i think u can do it,little difficult,but.....questions-majority from path,phisio.micro,pharm,rest little bit of each,some verry weard Q are there too to make u HAPPY,so thats about it.Now time to pray,nothing else i can do,my results be probably 23-25 january,i just hope i will pass.

Hi Tibilsidoc!

I wish you a wonderful score..All the best!
Since u have recently taken the test can you please tell what exactly one should prepare in the last month? Do U think FA, goljan audio & UW are enough after reading all the kaplan notes for the last month? What should be the pattern to study in the last month?
