So..................................

I 've been working very hard til now to catch up with lost time and somehow completed first read of the main subs, only anatomy and behav sci-biostats are left...

So wat i gonna do now is :

Start doign qs from UW ( 40-100 ) from tomorro along with 2nd read for all subs and first read for the anat and behav sci subs...and plan to complete this by MARCH 16th.

And take the NBME Form 1/2 exam on Mar 17th , first thing in the morning...and then take it on from there....I am believing in myself to go for the final exam on 31st march... I know its very less time but its here that i need to show my courage and stand up to the situation...I hav the leavage of getting it postponed by few days but i wont do it until the last moment...that is7 days before the exam date....

So guys need ur best wishes to conquer this exam prep ...

hi kalyan
i checked my mail about 5 times now .i dont see your email .thats ok .you seem a little tired .i feel that from your posts .forget about that email .exam is more important .

i have a small doubt ARE YOU FEELING DOWN kalyan .please dont think that you should always be in high spirits and always achieve the same way everyday .there are ups and downs .i STRONGLY SUGGEST you to see milees post .she has some wonderful posts with mtivational pics .

let me tell you a real story which might cheer you up and give you courage and the message is perservance leads to success

i met a girl at my swimming class who was so afraid to even get into the water the first time i met her .this was a year ago i always doubted why is she trying so hard to participate in a sport that she is so afraid of .i took swimming classes for 3 months and had to take a break coz of winter season .but she continued .i met her again this year a week ago and she was doing free style swimming with so much confidence .i was amazed .i felt is that the same person i saw a year ago .

my message to you is i believe in you .and so do 2786 people who view your messages .so please post when you are feeling down or you need support we will be more than willing to help you .i wrote all this assuming you are feeling a bit low .if you are not smile away and read this when you are really down or forward it someone else who needs it


hey kalyan can you believe i am saying these posistive words ????but i guess we are all in the same boat and th eone who is having a good day should help th eone who is having a bd one .am i right or wrong .



  #207

hey kal , u can do it ..just keep stable and work twds it ..preparation is never over it is an on going process

  #208

hi kalyan.

how are you? i see you are going to start UW tomorrow.

i'm doing UW too.... only 400 questions left for me,thought there are some more left to review....which marked to see later,but the pile has been buildin up and now i feel to bored and scared to look at it....

my suggestion for UW is try to finish of the review of questions you have done before you move on to the next block..... it is quite tempting to move on wtih new questions and review later but you better keep it balanced....

good luck for UW.


  #210

thnx for the foreseen advice SOS.

yeah will review it then and there after the block.

and can u tell me if its better to write the extra points we see/learn from UW into kaplan books or in separate notes or FA.

i write them separately coz i find its comfortable... but the bad thing is sometimes i end up rewriting the stuff which is already there in book...

i had tried to add to kaplan notes but it found it too tedious and boring to go turn pages,find the topic and then write.... it will save time on not writing the same things again

but my own preference is to write separately,coz its comfy ,though sometimes time consuming,but the good thing is in my case i find it easier to read and remember if i write something down in my own hand.... and one more thing if you decide to take notes separately its better to write them subjectwise,coz its better to review later...

you can try out different methods in the beginning and then stick to whatever suits you,that's my suggestion....nod do let me know how you make it...


  #212

and i wanted to do biochem 168 qs in UW...does it include genetics or onli metabolisms and mol bio ?? cos there separate 50 odd qs for genetics in UW.

pls let me know abt the same.

  #213

genetics is separate.

though i have done mostly random blocks ,i did do some subjectwise questions and genetics is separate.


  #214

hey kalyann,

my 2 cents...

during my CK prep,

1] i kept separate books for each subject and wrote down on it important points from UW.

2]i did q's in tutor mode and subject wise.in that way,u'll learn explanation immediately and have the feeling of completing a subject. ( if u don't like,u can do 50% q's in tutor and remaining in timed mode )

3]if i did say 50 q's, i'll mark atleast 10 -15 q's.and the first thing i do next morning is to review those marked q's.it'll take max.30 min. ( if u can do this u can skip making notes,but u need to look into the concept of wrong and marked q's while u r doing q's.)

that's all.

good luck buddy,this is for u...

Doubt sees the obstacles
faith sees the way.
Doubt sees the darkest night
Faith sees the day.
Doubt dreads to take a step
Faith soars on high.
Doubt questions 'who believes?'
Faith answers, 'I.'

  #216

Hi!! Kalyan just dropped by to say hi!! and that u as usual are doing an awesome job. good days and bad days do happen to all of us but just think in a couple of weeks before u go of to the step 2 forum u'll be done with step 1 way ahead of so many of us who are still trudging along slowly and ITS gonna be party time!! u will do really really good!!!

We all don't know u personally but u r journal is like insight to the person u r. we all have confidence in u so should u.like JAnaki said u have some 2000 odd people rooting for u and praying for u.

So just keep at it. all the very best.


  #217

  #221

kal , u see it is true what bapane is saying . well i never believed in forums and thought it was a waste of ones time . i read ur forum every day since 16 of feb the day i landed in us and decided on a date.unfortunately i took a little time to settle down . i read , re read wht u have written frm starting till end . i follow ur SQ3R approach .it is an amazing tecnic though takes some time. well i support all the people who read ur forum in achieving ur aim ie the 99 percentile..ALL THE BEST .may god give u the peace of mind and stability to do the test v well ...

  #222

Hi Kalyan

You know people (like me) who did not take the test on the aimed dates had all started out very well.. our biggest mistake was to get slowed down/tensed because we lagged behind the schedule .. once you slacken , then there is a danger of going downhill..

so just think as if the days in between your last day of good study and today did not exist ..and snap back to study plan ..

keep climbing towards your goal ...
