Finished Resp from washington manual...there is nothing much extra in kaplan for resp as WM covered everything but still I have to go through kaplan too..maybe will read something else from washinton today and read kaplan then later during the weekend.
I will buy Conrad fisher quest book today...are there many kinds..I thought there is only one..Internal medicinew Questions by Conrad fisher...if Im wrong plz someone guide me so that I do't end up in buying the wrong book.
thanks.

Hi doc clotaire, I understand your condition completely. I prepared for csa not more than a week...I was in ALOT of distractions and it was my first time in US plus I was very badly missing my home environment to study for an exam...I did not do very well..dont remember much but CSA was an exam I was expecting to fail BUT i passed.
Im sure you will pass...its not that bad!
GOODLUCK!!

welcome mytime good to see enthusiastic people on this diary. I love this diary. Thanks to doc Clotaire.
hawaii Its better not to do many questions a day if you really want to learn...ofcourse in the last 2 weeks try doing 3 or more blocks a day but doing 30-40 aday before that is just fine as long as you read other stuff too and understand each question you did and its every option .
Doc clotaire, truly ID is huge..and its so hard to memorize treatment regimens for different ages and different situations. I am sure by questions you're gonna nail it well! GL.
I'm done with CNS and now Im enjoying fisher's IM questions !

Thanks Guddu.
Yesterday I had a very good time. was my birthday actually.. But if step3 wasnt on my way i would have had a better time no doubt!
Ok today Im back my books. I had earlier thought of doing nephro today but it doesnt like a "nephro day" to me . I think I will start ID...yes ID. Thats big and i will probably continue tomorrow. washinton manual...its too big in there. i will see how I do that.
From now onwards Im going to do 50 Questions every day...be it conrad fisher quest or Q bank Quest. I usually prefer starating my day with questions itself..but most of the times what happens is that I end up doing only questions till the night.
So I have to leran the balance and maintain the discipline. have to eat less so that I feel more alert. I have become lazy and sleepy..not good...step3 upsets me very often...have to really feel good about it to defeat it. i had started going to the library every day in the beginning of my prep...that really motivated me....but now trying at home. Im very hopeful to do well this time . Plz God give me strength and keep me fully motivated..its not hard...but I see it this way...plz help me vision it properly.
Goodluck study mates
