hi nerve09,
yup, i like bryan adams, esp the song ShweHope99.9998 posted in the forum.
so, you are almost done with goljan gen path...good going !
The first thing that comes to my mind when i think of goljan is...his humor !!!!!!! i love his jokes....esp with systemic patho lectures !
Myself, as i am not a big fan of this neurology, ..very much reluctant to complete it....anyway, i am moving forward with other systems, and taking care of neuro too !

hi tia,
you wanna read systemwise...you mean just reading them again, ofcourse together or you are planning to do it along with qs ?
have you done any qs in those subjects with first reading ?

Hi tia,
When i finished my first reading...i tried to re-read, but soon realized i am not going to go anywhere with this, and ended up with the idea of systemwise revision, and it is working for me.
Your idea of system wise revision combining physio and patho seems good to me, and i support it along with qs.
Good luck !

Hi tia,
I went through kaplan patho once at the beginning, before starting goljan.
then i kept listening to goljan systemic path audios at a steady pace, while reading other subjects. Some of them twice
When i read goljan syst patho after completing the remaining subjects, i felt kinda things falling into place 
For revision i am using only goljan notes, not kaplan path.

Completed most of the qs in :

GIT
Hepato
Neuro
Reprod
Dermat
Hemat
Oncology
Remaining:
Musculosk
Lung
Kid
Endocrines
GUT
hd&neck
i must complete doing qs asap at any cost , i want to review fast, to finish them soon, so my review will be breif now on. I think i am taking too much time for this.
Genitourinary & hd-neck, i wil do last, as i am doing reprod-kidney and neuro.
I am going on doing qs.....God knows how much is getting retained !
I want to practise board simulation from UW.
can i sit for 7hrs, just doing qs.......aaaaaah hard to imagine !!!!!!
all the best guyton !

Completed just few qs in musculo and endocrines and reviewed them.
did some renal qs too, didnt review them yet.
Endocrines needs attention, have to spend some time for it.
remaining are Lung, GUT, hd&neck.
I am not bad at those, so, not going to do now.
So far covered most of the systems, and realized the weak areas too.
Want to make sure to take care of those topics i am weak at.
so, i am going to go back and review them.

agree , it will definately raise self esteem, ur confidence , just by being doing 7 hr block with that courage , bravery to able to do it ..sit for 7 hr is big bonus for the self mental level high achievement, not to mention if getting beautiful score in case on that home 7 hr test .

hi guyton,
I think how much and wat u revise depends on the time u have on ur hands.
If u havent got a lot of time then its best to limit ur revision to the questions u answered wrong and possibly also questions which have high yield explanations (if u marked them down in the first place that is!). Additionally if u feel u have a particularly weak subject then its best to go through that also (time permitting).
But if u got plenty of time to spare then i'd suggest u revise the whole thing, but again stressing on wrong Qs and high yield ones.
One problem i've noticed with revising Uworld is that because u r faced with random questions and explanations learning somehow becomes very fragmented. Very unlike a book revision which allows u to maintain continuity of thought. If u like a revision of that sort then i'd suggest u stick to the shorter version (wrong qs & marked). If u r comfortable with learning up isolated facts and have a good memory for them then the longer version would be best for u.
I hope this helps...
Good luck!

hi genbot
thanks for your advise, that helps.
I would have asked for your advice earlier, ..i didnt mark any qns in UW.
I did most of the uw qs systemwise and reviewed them.
my review goes like this,
while reviwing i keep the book(s) and those topics open infront of me. I read the explanation in UW, then look at the topic in the book. If i find that i mark/highlight it, otherwise, if its high yield.. i just write it down then and there itself,( is this type of review a bad strategy ?? )
and i didnt mark any of them.
I am using UW for learning and not for testing.
now you can imagine my situation, if i combine all the subjects with single system.. ..as the qs wil be random..review will be difficult as you said. ( i have to search all the books for that singel piece of information !!! ).
To avoid this and to make my review easy, i took one system, and did qs in one subject at a time, likewise, i completed qs related to that system in all the subjects continuously. Then i reviewd them subjectwise.
i want to do more and more qs. Which sources you suggest ?
My UW subscription ends in 6 more days...shall i extend it and review the whole thing ? or just do the wrong ones and weak subs, and go for other sources for doing qs ?
I am also planning to practise the board simulation with UW, is it a good idea first of all ?
genbot answer :
Hi
this isn't a bad strategy at all. I think at this stage its best for you to do the wrong questions and then move to some new resource. You already have important stuff written down which you can refer to later so thats not a prob. Most feel that Kaplan's a good resource. I think its worth buyin at this time. I dont know much bout the board simulation, so cant really suggest. Its important to be doin new questions daily rather than repeating them over and over again. Thats a much better way to do the learning. So go for it, buy a new resource...
