new_n_lost Politically InCorrect Topics: 650 Posts: 6,058	02/02/08 - 06:53 PM             #5 I found your title interesting so i thought i have a look. THe main point you have to be sure that you can and you will get a 99. You will have to believe in yourself first to continue to with this task. For Path if you can listen first to Goljan Lectures and then listen the 2nd pausing at every min and looking into RR then you can by the end of the day can finish a minimum of chapters. Remember this that Goljan is has summarized Physio,Biochem and Path of most topics into couple of pages. So in essence if you do 2 chaps a day you are doing 4 chapters cos one part is physio and the other is biochem. So look at it this way your are covering more than expected. and when people say that they study day and night well that means they are studying no more than 10-13 hrs a day and anything beyond that is only happening in teh last days of the exam. Remember if you take a nap in between its good for your memory as most of the synapses of memory from short to long term memory are firing mostly during REM stage of the sleep. So get some rest as well. Dont copy others just cos it worked for them because it might not work for you. So make your own plan and strategy and moreover stick to the plan. Best of luck. ___________________ FORUM RULES-- Those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand. I get enough exercise just by pushing my luck --P4U World.."

BeeGees	02/05/08 - 05:09 AM             #12 hey nerve.. thats really cool .. u know if ur kinda person who cant study continuously then u did the right thing by watching dvd.. its gud for changing ur pattern .. u have enough time for preparation and m sure u will do it.. but no point in watchin dvds again n again (just my opinion..) alright now.. lets refresh ur knowledge.. here are few questions for u from behavioral.. 1)which are the various types of hallucination? and in which disorders u see them? 2)where u will find "DT'S" .and ." AMOTIVATIONAL SYND" ? 3)what is korsakoff's amnesia? and which part of brain is most affected?? well this is just to refresh of wht u have studied.........gud luck and wish u all the best for exams...let me know the answer.. so that we wil discuss.. even m on recalling state of my mind more later..
