Hi kalyann,
How are you feeling now?
Your schedule is very perfect and I know that you'll do it.Kash,I too stick to my plan this time.
Doing uw with 1st read or 2nd read is a very good idea.coz,I'm frustrated doing it with 3rd read.
Thank you for joining me in your group.

Thanks AD
I have an active subscription of UW now, and it will be active till my exam date 31st march.
I just started my prep 4 days back in which i had to bunk 2 days if study due to severe cold.
I am planning to complete First Read by Feb 18th.
Pls advise me if its ok and alrite to take UW after 1st read of Kaplan notes + First Aid. and finish it off in 14-18 days .
and how abt doing UW subject wise and use it as a perfect learning tool ?
I mean is that possible to do ? cos i need to review q's and also do my 2nd read during those 14-18 days.

About FA 2008
DOn't have it...won't buy it.
About UW, don't wait another minute: do it subject wise, and simulate the exam:350 or 400 Qs twice a week.
I hope you get well soon

Hey man, I like your journal.
Anyways, about FA I wouldnt know the difference between 2007 and 2008.
Since I dont have 2007 edition.
BUT, I didnt think there was much difference between 2006 and 2008, just 2 yrs difference, and it was never my intention to buy the new. UNTIL I looked at the new edition and found too many changes (my original plan was to copy the changes to my old edition, but it would take me a lot of time) so I just bought the new one.
Anyways, GL.
I also have one hell of a flu right now, and it sucks big time.
Cant study right. Feel so lightheaded.
PS. My advise is go to barnes and noble, leaf through the new edition and decide for yourself.
Hope it helps.
If you have any questions dont hesitate to ask me.

yea
real good work and astonishing 1,bravo
well i believe ,UW is good tool when u reading 2nd time and doing UW,coz in 1st read most of us specially immg,absorb the concept and 2nd read is the 1 where we r able to understand wat a question about and wat the buzz word to go wid,wat the usmle want u to know and reply,so i would suggest keep it up,
but how to read uw and text ,is wat i did and suggest ,select a system or subject ,do in tutor mode better ,so dat u be able to look at explanation at same time,read through all explanation,dont try to make notes at the time,otherwise u will take lots time,so if we talk about real time oriented strategy,dont make notes out of uw at that time,keep on reading marking questions u did wrong ot did wid just guessing,after finishing that syestem or subject from uw,go back to text and yup same strategy,go back ,take a survey of the book,put Q and red mark along lines which were there in kaplan and u didnt consider them that much and in fact they were worth to note,so in short keep on high lighting or anything that comes while rereading text ,add in side column
keep on moving,uw,marking,goin back to text highlighting it,when u are done wid all the system and subjects,then do ur Marked questions in UW ,yup u will be able to do them real good now,its the time to make notes of anything u feel kaplan ,goljan or first aid lacking,but almost 90 to 95%covered ,it was just hidden from ur mind,not sight though
,so if u dont have time,just do now ur notes u made out of uw,or just revise marked questions,u are all set,but if dont hav time to do kaplan,its ooookkkkkkkk,if u revsed ur text and absob uw well u can do very well widout it,if still ur restless widout doing kaplan q bank,so just do kaplan q boook not bank
at revisin,try to be concise,u can see in my post ,strategy how to review kaplan notes and what u skip of big kap[lan text in 3rd read
best luck

Kalyann:
I think you have a very good plan, follow it, and you'll study much more than I did for step 1, so you'll pass with a better score than 84, for sure. Then step 2 will be much more fun to study. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...
Good luck!
