GhostSurgeon wrote:Hi SOS ; I m planning to take mine in the 2nd half of May. Doing UW ( about 70-80% correct) and trying to read every single explanation.. I read Goljan RR 2nd ed. 2 twice and now I am doinn it again. I did BRS physio and Lipp. pharm by adding notes from Katzung Exam rev..ı did microb and biochem as well.. But my weakest point is anatomy whish I read it from HY..I dont think I ll have enough time to memorize it so planning not to do it..what I wonder is ; is it possible gettin > 95 without doin anatomy and Behav. sicence well?? thanks for your advices ang wisihing u the best A.K.A. 99 
70-80%on UW is very good and you still have time to improve.from your post you seem to be doing pretty well.as for anatomy.... it was my dread too.... HY helped... but i was able to read it only once... and then day before i just went through the pictures in HY neuro.my advice is whether you like it or not do anatomy well coz you will get some direct questions which you can answer only if you know it. i got three questions on knee joint itself,and all were based on anatomy knowledge.,so you see. i am not trying to scare you but please don't ignore it. you have time.do little bit daily if you can't remember a lot in one day.
beh sci: do the statistics very well... it will get you 1-2 qs in each block,then go through the psychiatric disorders,sleep disorders etc coz you can answer those questions if you ve read.... the real SCARY part in beh for me was ethics... no matter how well i read and what rule i applied some of the questions and their given options made no sense....
FA is good... if you have a basic understanding of the matter you can count on FA for biochem and pharmac... but for pharmac i recommend to do the first three units in kaplan book i.e including the ANS pharma.

here is a very honest and true confession friends...
though i feel that i have done well on the exam... and while i was doing the exam i was pretty comfortable.. but now i am feeling very anxious.... i've never felt like this...
i wrote my experience even before my result came intead of waiting for it... coz i wanted to help even those who are going to write it before my result comes............. i am glad if my post is helping anyone.... i just hope now that i get a score to live up to everyone's expectations....

dont worry i did same thing when i took my ck, i walked out thinking 'huh, some of those were pretty straightforward, hope i didn't mess them up' and i def did not go home and look thru stuff, i know ppl that do that, but i am NOT one of them b/c it would depress me, so i avoided it, i too started thinking of the q's i may have gotten wrong (never looked it up b.c i didnt wnat to face the reality if i had done bad).. then real close to when my score was to come i had pretty much convinced myself i had failed (god knows how, b/c i still was sure i did pass, just didnt know by how much, hahaa) but then the email came, saw my scorew and whew, was relieved!! wat a high these tests cause rite?? hehehee.. should be bottled up and sold to addicts!!
just believe if u know u felt u did enough to pass, chances are u probably did, u just dont know by how much, so it will come, just focus on other exams or watever else to keep urself busy, thats all i got for ya!! best o luc!!
