thanks shwe...

callosum.... i am doing UW questions these days.... somebody just mentioned that it depends on one's grasping power ,and i agree to that.

i end up spending 3 to 5 hours on one block of 50,3 for my good subjects and 5 or slightly more for my bad ones.... but then again... i write down explanations of all those i feel i'l forget ....and i actually end up writing a lot of them so it takes me lot of time.... in case you are not writing them it should take you lesser time...

but in my case... the max questions i could do was 120,for micro only... and for rest of them i could complete 100 in a day if i do nothing else and stay focussed.....

Don’t Quit!
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow—
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out—
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit—
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

—Anonymous

Great post.
Count me in also.
Im kind of becoming claustrophobic in a way, days pass by so quickly.
And the time slips like water.
Got to keep going.
Good luck to everyone.
Youll see me ranting here from time to time.

a new day has come

keep up the hard work all of you....

i must do 125 UW questions today AND when teena calls today for her stories i have to refuse to talk.... she wasted an hour of mine yesterday and i had to sleep two hours late... and got up late..... so i've found the etiology.... bye bye teena.. i'm writing it here for consolidation.... i think so daily but then when its time i always listen to her,thinking that she needs me... but i am not doing justice to myself... i hardly give anytime for me to relax and she eats up one hour of mine... not fair...shaking head

today's resolution... 125 questions and refuse to talk to teena.nod

Sleep is such a mechanism it auto adjusts itself in a week's time provided u,

stay calm ( stop worrying abt things.... if worrying cud get results... everyone here including me wud have got 99 in step 1 already, isnt it....)

have a simple bed room ( no tv, no books , no children ) with good mattress & pillow

sleep adequately...( minimum 6 hrs )

eat 4 hrs before u sleep

have a hot bath / exercise moderteli ( dotn lift weights and all ) before u sleep



forget abt worrying for step 1 da.... one doesnt need to know all the information to score 99... and one doesnt need a 99 always inthe first place.... its true but none of us accept it....even me too.... and its just an exam.... till now u have worried enough abt the result....wich made u so so tense and anxious everyday eting away ur sleep time and study efficiency... So no more tension....Do as much as u can.... U will sureli ace it if u keep ur nerves....



Enough of bhaashansticking out tongue... bubye...now.

hi millee hw r u> hw r u studing??

  #35

kalyan how do you know all the answers to everyone's querries.... i'm so impressed... wow !

milee i too have this sleep wake problem.... and the trouble is its a vicious circle..... you sleep late and then you tend to wake up late,and when the night comes you can't sleep in time coz you've been sleeping till late in the day ,moreover by waking up late you tend to lose a lot of hours of the day so you have to stay up late in the night to complete your work............ and thus it goes on and on......

one month back i was having a similar cycle as you but overtime i have mended mine... now i sleep at 12-1am and am able to get up between 8-9.

you got to make a start somewhere... like try to sleep earlier one night... the time you think is suitable for you.... you'l have to leave the task at hand and just go to sleep... it will take time but if you just relax and don't think you will sleep and then get up earlier the next day... you might not be able to get up very early coz you have accustomed your body to sleeping late i'm sure you can make it at an earlier time.. so next day you have a longer day.... work hard and when the night comes ,again sleep on time.... and try to maintain the same.complement this with kalyan's advice and you will see some good results.

teena is a relative of mine... and she likes to talk to me,share her feelings...well the trouble is she has so much to share... coz i'm the only one who understands her according to her.... i wish it wasn't so,but since she's a relative (my aunt) i can't be rude or ignore her..... i am in a mess..i've been politely telling her that i've got a lot of work and very little time.. she says she won't call and disturb again until my exam but it never happns ..... hardly a day passes and she finds something she must share with me.... aaawwwwwwww rolling eyes

well i just solved two blocks,random.. now am going ot start reviewing answers...




  #36

you know what , i have learnt that if you don't respect your time nobody will

and if you do respect it , everyone else will

i used to watch tv and stuff few months before when i began my prep , so my friends , relatives and all used to think i have lot of time since i am at home

since i have committed myself to studying seriously and putting off enjoyment , everyone else seems to understand and help pours in too ..unexpectedly..

so basically its within us .. right??

  #39

hey even i used 2 waste time but des days m jus studing nd come 2 d form dats it hope i b like dis 1 month enuf ill b on d track

  #40

right milee... i realized it a few days back.... yes it is within us but you know thre's more to it than that... we need to respect our time,but the lesson i've learnt is we also need to be consistent with this.. i mean if i hadn'r encouraged her by listening to her long tales in the first place i wouldn't be facing this..... so in a way i am responsible for this..... it like "aa baill mujhe maar"grin

i don't know how to say it in english.. if someone else can translate .please do...

i reviewed one block... one more to go... nod
