Doctor Dee, welcome to journal world, when are you taking your exam, i read your first post, and i couldnt help smiling, when i came to cooking part, to tell you the truth i dont like cooking, lol. and yet its part of everyday or every alternate days work.

the physiology lecture you are listening, which one is that dr dunn? if its him, it may help you understand more if you finish, you can play it in high speed, like 1.5 time, if you have powerdvd. and for all dvd, i found biochemistry (lionel ramon), and behavioral science (dr daughtery) helpful. its a great thing, you have joined observation, have you already cleared step 2 ck? i planned i will clear step 1 first and do observation while reading step 2 ck. anyway, i have to start step 1 prep again.

GL to your study plan. make a routine, it may help you study more.smiling face

it was soo nice of u to offer me advice n support wen i see that u are in a tough situation...
feeling real touched..
can imagine it would be pretty tough for u to gain confidence...

hi doctor dee,

i see some of the people using anatomy HIGH YIELD and just reading it a few pages b'fore going to sleep .i think that's a good idea too.

my advice is start with a study partner,'coz my nature is also same like urs and i benefitted studying with partners.

i think reading 2-3 subjects at a time ,than completing one by one will make u remember more 'coz chances of forgetting r more if u see the same book after 4-5 wks.

now that,i completed physio,pharma in 20 days by reading with 2 partners.started bio,micro now.after doing this we r planning to do goljan path which concises every thing i read till now.

i found this better for me,so am suggesting u.

good luck to u.

only prob... doubt i remember anythin... but revision shud bring it back...
i agree with your advice on switching subjects..
let me try it..:-)
will start biochem tomorrow...

  #12

hey AD..
am livin in a small town here..
the local clinic here agreed to let me come n just observe once a week... its very casual.. ive not done step 2..
dont know how useful this will be... but i need to get out of home .. so this is good i thought... and atleast see some patients once a week... its ok...:-)

  #13

if u've planned to prepare over a span of six months...then YES!!...listening creates memory...we've read most of this stuff at one time or the other...we are here now to create memory...n listening[without reading notes simultaneously] is really helpful.

  #14

thanks ninotchka...:-) its just that physio guy( no offense) really puts me to sleep...have not heard any other lecture... will try though...

  #15

yes...he is a lil slow...but manages to drill the matter into our brain!...there r graphs n tables in the material which cant be interpreted accurately without listening to the lectures as the notes doesnt have the accompanying explanation...some points are told but not printed...

  #16

ok... still got some 15 pgs in head n neck,, then i finish first read anat!!!!!!!!!phew.
did first test in qbook... got 44...am happy:-)
