Hi Saam009 smiling face

I would advice you not to hurry! Take your time! This is not an easy exam to rush and just take it! I would advice you to read the Kaplan notes for 3 to 4mths, understand concepts very important! And do the world Q bank for 2mths and then go for the exam! Do an NBME if you score about 400 on the NBME, I would say that would be 80%. I know, I'm not much of a help! But my advice is don't rush and take the exam when your not ready! I rushed and I did that and my out come wasn't good! Well anyway GoodLuck to you Saam009! nod

I am aiming for that 2-3 months time bracket but I am afraid I am going to need more time. Listen...dont think like this. Get your kaplan books and start studying. It will take you 2 months to get through them thoroughly itself. After that master first AID and do USMLE World and Kaplan Q bank. Then take the NBMEs and see if your score is good. If it is good then register for the test. If it isnt good then keep studying and practising more OK? You really cannot say how much time its going to take. Just take your time as much as you need. Its the score that matters and not the time. So just relax and start studying 13+ hours per day and see how much time you take to finish and score well.
