I am doing ok doc-08 , thanks for asking !
Today I did some CCS cases and did 50 % in UW .I am going to read those explanations now . I decided to track my weakest subject on UW and I will start focusing on them by reviewing them in CK notes and WM .May be that s gonna help me a litle bit .
Anyway , nice to see you back nikki , Wish you good luck with your result.
rachita , sorry , I don t know about MKSAP ,may be someone else can comment about it .

doc-08 !
I know how it feel when you got a low score on a subject , just don t get down on yourself and go do some reading on neuro and come back again , I am sure you will do better next time  .
Today , I did not do much , I only read some explanations and Neuro chapter in FA
I plan on going doing a new study strategy next week , let s see how it goes!

Doc-08!
Spending time looking for USCE is not a waste of time , it is as important as the exam .So you should not feel bad about it as long as it is for the purpose to be a better candidate for 09 match ! so don t sweat it buddy
Let s get back to our journal and reach every days target
By the way , I am happy to say that I juste scored my FIRST 70 % in UW , I am so happy .
I am taking a break now and will read explanantions later

Hello friends!!!
I just got my result and I passed!! Yipppee. I got 81 ....not a great one ...but i am glad that i passed. I worked so hard after I got the news that I matched and would say it was a month of hard work that paid off. I was so so scared but gladly I am done.
Thank you so much diary mates. This diary helped me immensely to stay motivated. It's a great diary. Keep working hard friends and I pray for you all that you get through in one go and finish off this USMLE finally.
Thanks to all of your support..especially lost in usa, syra, Farnsworth, doc C and redddd.
If you all have any questions i will be very happy to answer.

doc-clotaire you are doing so good. i really like your new strategy.
i'm sorry for not keeping up with the journal as my prep is kind of haphazard with so many breaks.
i'm done with IM UW questions but left with few lectures and reading from ck notes. as some of my step 3 dvd's arent working.
i listened to peds lectures which were quite thorough...did some reading of ck notes and done with UW q's.
i listened to obs lectures and read gynae from ck notes and done with the UW q's.
next is surgery. i'll start with the lectures today.
i saw the usmle cd for CCS but havent done any CCS case yet. will be starting that shortly.
in the dvd's there are 5 videos of internal medicine....first case is chest pain...is that for CCS?
GOOD LUCK
happy studying
