Hi
I completed kaplan first reading, goljan audios ( i dint complete goljan lecture notes though)
this is the plan for my second reading :
I would like to go with systems-based revision, taking a single system and completing it in different subjects, since the integration is the important aspect in the preperation.
I will complete the scheduled topics by the end of the day, and will do the questions from UW. Nextday morning I will recollect yestday's important points very fast, and move on to that day's schedule.
In this preperation i must complete FA and Goljan lecture notes too.
I know it will be overwhelming, but i must do it, otherwise i will never be able to complete my preperation.
My reviewing materials : Kaplan + FA ( includes Goljan lecture notes for pathology)
I have been doing UW since last month, i completed some of them. I must complete remaining qs in this month as fast i can, then do it for the second time in a board simulating manner. Then I will do NBME qs.
For tomorrow : Cardiology
Pathology-
Goljan + FA + Kaplan for reference.
Physio -
Electrical activity of the heart, Heart muscle mechanics.(kaplan) + FA
Pharmac -
Fundamental concepts, antiarry drugs, anti-HTN, HF(kaplan) + FA
always the golden rule is :
Start with the weak area in that chapter, allot more time for that, then complete the remaining things fast, just making sure not to neglect anything.
I will start in the morning, complete reviewing by evening. Then will do 50 qs in cardiology. I will take the feedback from my score, and will address those things.
all the best for myself
i must get 99, no excuse !
I want to enjoy 99 score, its my dream.
Always give first preference to your time.
No laziness, no procrastination, No disturbances.
I would like to spend an hour or two per day for Completing Goljan lecture notes if somebody is interested to join.

My day started now. Sticking to the schedule. Beginning cardiology review.
weak areas- revise on regular basis
review in clusters
keep the session short- an hour to hour and half, atleast 15 min break, to allow consolidate the short term memory.
do not re-read the text books, use review books that consolidates the information.
Only one main review book, remaining as back up to clarify the points as needed.
ask your self Qs
graphs and charts
paraphrase
summary notes
study groups
challenge yourself
explain it to others
practice the Qs, - look at why you did the Qn right or wrong?

Look My view of doing Cardio is this
Review time = under 2 weeks.
Starting with Physio
Pay special attention to graphs and their implications. Cover up the General CVS in this time frame. Learn the ECG thoroghly.
Go for Anatomy too along with physio
Combine Blood Vessels and Heart in Patho.
UNDERSTAND THE PATHOPHYSIO OF EACH AND EVERY DISEASE. THEY ROTATE QUESTIONS AROUND THE PATHOPHYSIO.
Stick to Goljan Lectures and RR nothing else will make you get a good score.
Then move on to pharma go after MOA, SE repetitively.
REvise is once more.
Then after one week when you are done with the system then move on questions on Cardio to check whether you got the concepts.
Moi 2 cents.

# 1 Golj lecture .. audio only or also the live lecture , general & system few 100 pgaes each too , and RR patho whole book . How about his slides ?? >>> Use only Audios and RR together and nothing else. While listening to his lectures he refers to his slides and that is the best time to study them and to absorb them. Take your time with the slides and lectures. I have almost added stuff from Questions his lectures into the RR.
# 2 where is best, good to see , learn , parctice, read ECG thouroughly ?? Ganong only Ganong gives you the right detail you actually need to know.
# 3 anatomy of heart, blood vessle .. any good books, site or just kap LN, HY anatomy ??
I did most of my anatomy from my old med school book didnt do Kaplan at all just used HY for NA
# 4 pharm.. kap LN alone or any eg Katzung review or ???
I used only Katzung review. its a lengthy book and has a lot of info but i did it in my med school and therefore it was easier for me to go thru and i went thru it faster.
# 5 Qs ... means kap Q bank CVS or ??? 2006 old dl or recent online ??
or UW too online ?? I save UW for the last and use KQbank mostly but Qbook and the forum and on our 2nd read then go for 50 questions of UW and see what you have done where you made mistakes and how and why you made go back to books and read. After completing the whole system go for 50 questions and understand you mistakes. Either use UW in your 2nd read or 3rd read and alternate it with Kaplan.
Hope this answers your questions

Hi nerve09,
i have listened to Goljan audios, he emphasizes concepts verywell. So i spent littlebit more time for audios, some of them i have listened twice. I refer Robbins less and guyton physiology more often. I use Robbins more for patho slides and other pictures. I have been reading systemic goljan notes, referring it while i do qs. so, I am planning to complete revising general patho by next week, spending two hrs or so, apart from regular schedule.

I will be sailing i the same boat sometime after 12 days budddy...
I plan to do UW along with Second Read in 14-18 days..
I think i will be doing UW Subject wise , which gives me the advanatage of solidifying my second read.
I will be doing abt 100-125 q's per day of a single subject.. So thats abt 2 hrs time.. and review those answers in abt 4 hrs.
Take down notes in respectives kaplan texts. Study those chapters in that subject for the rest of the day... somewher around 8 hrs max.
Revise those UW added points in kaplan texts first thing in the morning on the next day for one hour...
and do Q's.............etc etc.....
This is the cycle i wud want to follow... but its stil early days for me to talk abt it..As i am in my first read now. and will complete it by 18th Feb POSITIVELY.
After the USMLE WORLD, I wud go for a NBME Test and assess my weak areas.
and further plan accordingly...
Pls feel free to share your own views on my prep and any other queries u have.

Hi kalyan,
how do you review the answers? you pick only the wrong answrs or the right ones too ? In case of wrong answer ---> do u search for the correct answer for yourself in the material you are reading or just know the correct answer provided there ?
May be am askin 2many qs !!!! hhhmmmmmmm, this is last for today !

See my insight into ur query is as follows:
For Suppose, we do 100-150qs daili subjectwise and timed mode, u will know the areas /chapters where u went wrong , isnt it.... so u ought to concentrate more on those than the ones u got absoluteli right...u also need to concentrate on those answers wich u ansered correclti just by a good guess....
And study the relevant chapters of that subject during the rest of the day.
And mind you...... ....... you can as many questions as u want to me ...
i will be very much be there to help u to the best of my ability...
So i think doing any Qbank subjectwise helps u to organise the material in ur mind.
and timed mode keeps u on track with the exam giving mode....
Only thing left out in this prep tip, is that u wont be doing in random mixed mode...
I suggest u can do that the next time u do the UW Qbank.

Though the question isnt refered to me but i will add moi 2 cents.
The best thing when reviewing questions is to review each and every choice whether you got it right or wrong. Cos mostly durig our first reads or even second the reason we choose a correct answer is not usually on track or the right concept. So always review your right answers as well.
Start with 50 questions daily and take 2 hrs to review your questions. Go through every question and disect it and by your 3rd read you should be able to know the reasons why a particular choice is not the answer or is the answer just by reading it. Keep that as your target and your 99 is waiting for you.
