Hello,
me too scoring low today, but mostly due to lack of attention ( I have been a bad girl  ). So my suggestion for you, pay a great attention, there are so many clues in the stem of the question, that my eyes are popping out in disbelief, it's like there are giving it away , and I'm still not getting it!

Questions
150 patho (hemato and musculosketal section) questions. This time, had to do questions from Robbins Review of pathology bcoz in this book explanation shorter than in Qbook.
Notes
End of renal physiology. This system is not long (at least in Kaplan LN) but it results to be a very challenging chapterr. Start with endocrine system. We went through Musculoskeletal disorders in RR
Images and FA
Read musculosketal system in FA.

Questions
With those last 100 biochem questions, i put an end to Qbook. My score in both block was 70%.
Notes
Today, it seems that i received tse-tse fly bite during the lecture of endocrine physiology... Coffee fortunately did a good job, so no need for suramin nor melarsoprol . I acknowlegde this guy is a great teacher and he s here to make sure that material stay in our hippocampus but i feel very sleepy.Guys, is it just me?
I continue with RR. This time, i read part of female reproductive system.
Images and FA
Reproductive system is small section in FA ( is it enough for exam or should i add some notes from Kaplan medessential) . Review slides of the same system from Robbins

Hello Jean,
are you asking me about the tips?  I guess I will think about them on my family trip I'm leaving for today. So when I come back I will throw some pearls for you. Seriously, hard to say, my journey for this exam preparation is tooo long, myself facing every day problems how to tackle this test ! I guess the best gauging is doing Qs, they are the mirror of your preparation. Are you doing UW, when do you plan take NBME ? What is your plan. You can pm if you want.
Glad to see you grabbed Robbins Rewiev of Pathology, I like to practice the Qs from that book. It got a high recommendations from people scoring 99 !
Take care will come back next week.

How are the books treating you? Or vice-versa. All is fine ?

I m back, guys. I did not do much during those last 2 weeks. I took NBME form 1 and scored only 470. Is that a good score if someone wants to get a decent score in the real exam
I will continue prep starting this time with subjects that contribute to my low score.
BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE, GENETICS, Mol.BIOL and Anato for sure.
Let s do that , Jean.
