Thanks all for your comments.
To yogesh,
I thought I was totally wrong for about 4-5 answers and another 4-5 were just like the turn of a coin and most of the rest were educated guess.
But with our foundation of knowledge, we have a very safe margin to ace the exam.
I didn't believe it before i got the result.
Since after the exam, i supressed all the bad feelings and kept myself busy with other stuffs not because i m so confident but just applying a defense.
We tend to blame ourselves for wrong things we did instead of appreciating the right things we do.
In an exam with 10-20% of uncounted items, about 75%correct performance is definitely great.
After step 1 exam which tested mostly on facts, we can see the back or white.
Step 2 tested on our judgement so we will feel a little bit doubtful.
I believe you will get a very nice score.
Sorry to answer here as I can't use PM function more for today.
What a relief!!
Thanks nyimalay..

Thanks, falcon.
I didn't watch any DVD.
It took me a total of 5 months. 6-7 hrs/day. I couldn't study much for nearly one month in between.
So, 4 month should be enough.

Thank you shwe. I was wondering where you have been.
Long journey indeed. After staying away from studies for nearly a month, now it is time to start for CS.
All the best to you too. Keep in touch.

Thank you all,
To mikky,
I looked a few pages of 'EKG made easy' the day before exam.
For heart sound, visited a web site and i posted the link in this forum somewhere. But i think heart sounds are not really necessary to practice listening at least for this exam.
To Dr. ELSADIG,
Basic opthalmology: How to manage cases of Injury, haemorrhage , Infection, Glaucoma AS A PRIMARY CARE PHYSICIAN.
Dermato: How to diagnose COMMON skin lesions. How to manage it.
ENT :nasal bleeding, foreign bodies, otitis , hearing loss ...diagnosis and primary care.
Try to know what a basic doctor should know and should do if he encounter such cases. Don't need to emphasize too much on specialist treatment.
Good luck
