Hey, Ivonne! Congrats on being Certified! What's your score, btw? Did I miss it?
I just spent a few mins on the Exam scores thread, and got a good dose of inspiration. I'm diving headlong in to UW. I've decided to set aside something which was distracting me for the past 2 weeks and preventing me from concentrating on the job at hand [You know, we Cancerians like to deal with one thing at a time]. So, I'll deal with my other issue on the other side of my test. If I don't take my test as I've planned it, a lot of plans will get ruined, and my fam will be disappointed, and I don't want to do that.
Guys, I'm making an open and humble request to you all. Please urge me, push me, encourage me, support me, to work harder and longer, so I can get done with this test sooner. I promise I'll be there for all of you too, but right now, I need you folks as well. I know I'm capable. I just can't afford to forget that even for a moment.
Thanks, people. You're all the best!

Oh, it's all you people's fault. I just like it here so much, that's why I keep coming back. If you all could be a little rude, mean, nasty, I'd run like the wind, away from here. But, noooo, you are all so sweet, kind, supportive, even funny and just great to hang out with. No wonder I'm hooked, and I know I'm not alone.
Angel, you've been saying that since last week.  So, come soon!!
nany, I know what you say. I'm truly gonna stay away. Send me a virtual 'kick-***' [again, censored for the safety of the kids! ], and I'll be good for a while. Just don't give me a blue backside [I'm not in the age group for Mongolian spots!]
Thanks, guys!

Starting with IM Cards tomorrow. The Chap's massive, hope I finish it soon. Also doing UW by the side. I wish I were able to do 2 blocks/day, but it seems beyond me, esp with the loooong explanations. 
I really wish that they wouldn't throw in all the useless stuff into the qn stem. It's really not fair. I'm ok with the amount of misleading info in Step 1 stems, but the CK ones are brutal, no other word for them. There's like 3 lines in each stem, listing everything!! DM, HTN, RA, migraine, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, some cancer, pneumonia, HIV blah, blah, BLAH!!! Aaaaghhh!!! [I was talking about just one patient, btw!] 
P.S. Wishing I could borrow Arlete's brain, just for the Cardio section...
G'night, everyone.

paheli, you are like me. I always say to my hubby that I can only do one thing at a time. If so many things out there I need to handle, I will get lost and be easy to lose my temper. Poor me. While most time, life is very complicated. And it is a luxuary that we can just focus on one thing. So fight hard to juggle different things. List your priorities. Spend more time on the study. Or when you study, concentrate fully on the study so you can be more efficient. We have to do this.
When will be your test? Enjoy your hard work!

Guys, I have a qn here please. Some collective advice will be very helpful. I'm really running out of time in doing UW, and it's eating in to my KLN time too. I usually do a block a day, perhaps a bit more if time management goes well. This is ruining my enthusiasm, not to mention my energy levels, and making me feel like I'm heading nowhere in my prep. How advisable is it to do it in tutor mode? I've never actually done a block in anything other than unused, mixed, timed mode. And, I think it's the best possible mode to attempt qns in. But, time being really tight with me, I'm willing to fo gor tutor, if it's quicker. What's the general opinion, please?
Thanks a lot!
njcjzy, I suffer from single-minded-itis, where I can't focus on more than one thing at a time, then I move to the next thing once the job at hand is done. Or it could just be coz I'm a Cancerian.
p4a99, I can tell!

If you think tutor mode works better for you, go with that. But you have to force yourself really digest the informations there.
BTW, what do you mean by running out of time? If your test is not that near, extend your membership for sometime longer. I would suggest you go through UW for at least two times.
My two cents. GL.

Hey buddy
for cardio like nany said put atention to fisher videos.
go over the questions from uw about cardio only
Murmurs
Arryhtmia
MI
ACS
CHF
Remember when to give anticoagulation
remember when you need a stress test
remember about endocarditis a pericarditis
Fisrt know the concept and the general idea, then know the protocol for each different case then do questions about it.
Have you done nBME exam? You need to do one is the only thing that will tell you were you stand.

Bupropion paheli, it worked for me , just kidding, don't take it seriously please.
Regarding UW, you wont believe how many times I extended and even stopped the suscription for a while and suscribe again
BTW when you are done with all the questions and if you would like to review the answers again then there is a link in the step 2 ck support forum for UW. I saved myself in my pc for step 3.
Good luck!!!

*knock knock* visitor here....wondering? have u decided to go tutor mode on UW? has it done u good? I didn't buy UW but I have it as a book so I have no choice but to do "tutor" that too, system wise...I'm wondering if I made a mistake n should I go random instead n' buy UW? Since you're experimenting, your advice would be so useful...

hey paheli, how is it going with UW ?
Ithink if you have time, you should go and finish it all tutor mode and get all the new information and concepts, and then after you finish it you start doing mixed timed mode for the rest of time available for you so you practice time managment......,that's just my opinion... feel free to do whatever you like dear

Thanks, folks. Am happy to report that tutor mode's working. While it's opposite of what others do, i.e. tutor when you have more time, and timed mode to save time, I'm actually much faster with tutor.
My old problem of overthinking my answers is back with a vengeance. I thought I had dealt with it in Step 1, and left it behind for good. Nuh, not yet, it seems. I've been making the stupidest mistakes, ~5/block! That's terrible!
Well, lunch break over. Gotta head back in to the mudpit.
Thanks for your input, ggt, Ivonne, nany. My answer is at your journal, toolazy.
P.S. Sorry for the boring post today.

my schedule used to be get up at 6 in the morning, cup of coffee and a smoke. Then the first time blocked by 6:30-645. Then 10 minute break and do the second block timed. So by 9 am you've done 92 questions.
Then at 9 am start your reading for the day. Done by about 4 pm
In the evenings from about 4-5 pm till 11 review the two blocks you did in the morning. taking notes and adding it into my FA.
hope this helps ....

heyyyyy
I really dont wanna tell someting wrong here but I did the whole UW untimed tutor topicwise and made a great notebook out of it , colors pix graphs mneumonics ...and this kept me sooo focused and made the UW torture sooo fun that I could sit on it for 10 hrs a day !! I also feel like I have ADHD so this was the way I kept myself focused and it worked ... and UW did help me as much as it should in the exam ...
sorry for the boring post by the way ?!??!?!??!?! haha ! girl , noones gonna remember this post dont worry , you are soooo fun
its not easy and needs a lot of endeavour , we all know this , and you have the potential to face and do this ! so , do it hun
