hey study.....dont worry about yday now.......focus on today and give it your best. I didnt do as much as I wanted last evening because I promised to take my son to buy a transformer toy - a car transforms into a robot like the movie and he is currently crazy about it! Anyway got back late from shopping and just listened to Goljan 3rd lecture on day 2 as I fell asleep.
I have a question for you? Are you using UWorld as study tool or for practicing timed tests? Because if you are using as a study tool, and since you have less time you would save a lot of time just doing a question, picking a answer and then reading the explanation. That way you dont read the entire stuff the next time/day and try to recollect the question. Atleast for me it is like spending time to comprehend the question again when I review the answers. Later if you quickly finish Uworld this way , then you can try timed mode say NBME or even Uworld to make sure you keep up the time too! Knowing the stuff (UWorld) is more important to improve on time! Good luck. See what works for you.

Hi target,
how old is your son? how cute...he reminds me of my nephew...he is 8 and im missing him terribly...
very good point, i guess i'm using it mainly for study too so will do my next block as tutor mode today to see how it differs...thanks alot
OK, done with a block and got 54%...down again but as long as its above 50, i'm happy...
so from now on will try to update regularly instead of only at the end of the day...this way it will encourage me to be more efficient...
let me go and review my block as effective as possible and see how many hours i spend this time.

good morning target,
thank you so much...needed those lines of yours...
yes, i've made a huge mistake once again by not being ready well so far...but if i lose my money...it has to be for nothing but a 99...
starting my day by going over the block i did last night...will update after that...
We will get there, friends...all together...we will...

Hi study499, I am so proud of you that you have done so well the last couple of days. Just try not to worry to much about whether you are going to take the test. Work as hard as possible and let NBME tell you whether you are ready at the end. For an important test as usmle, it might be wise to make sure you are close to your target before you really take it. Good thing is that we have a few NBME tests to help us with that. You will be doing great!

Hi stud! Sorry I am late.....drove straight to my favorite study place after the dentist appt. Barnes and Noble (after all the advice I gave you) with a hot cup of coffee after lunch sat down for 51/2 hrs straight and completed pharm in first aid. Feels good.
Just got back home 8 p.m - plan to finish embryo first aid and finish pharm questions as much as possible to assess myself. Good 40 done already ........I am loving UWorld too learning so much .....feels like it makes all those Kaplan /First aid sentences come back alive ! I guess it is part of active learning ........
Reports due end of day -remember!

Hi target, i'm so happy for u well done !...I've done 30 more qs...u r right, much faster in tutor mode and u know what i do...i do a block of 10 qs...that way, doesn't seem overwhelming and i finish 10 qs so fast and then another 10...so, till now done 70 qs...
simon,I can feel it too
it's now 12.30 am...I have so much to learn....sooo much...i have to do much more everyday....
[ today, just found out that my eldest bro, his wife and 2 kids r coming to USA to visit us in August...as they think I'm done by July end...but i guess they don't know how brainless someone can be to blow out time and money...anyway, i'm in a stage of denial with regards to the test and even r not tense anymore... ]
i will do another 10 then sleep...
if i finish all the questions, then review FA 2X....will i be ready to pass the test wt a good score...only God and nbme know...i can not believe my situation

No negative thoughts ! - Reminder...........Only 99 ! You can do it . Common New day today - you are improving every day, everyminute you are learning something new and assigning a neuron to remember it. It is only 350 questions ! We can do it . Report your progress more often. I am at work, just finished a meeting.....will do first aid more pages today .
