OK, let me have an update on my progress here:
so I 've been studying but if I want to continue on Neuro, I would just spend another week on Neuro...so much...but ...finished FA Neuro and psych section...done a few of the cases...but still hv to complete those....and done some neuroanatomy from kaplan...I hv read neuroanatomy in kaplan very well before...but too bad, it was long time ago...i wish i never hd stopped...
So the plan is to finish those cases tonight and do UW tomorrow morning and then start on Musculoskeletal...
just some words to myself:
everyone who is there hv gone thru this...u hv to go thru this...can not jump over it...no easy way...it's supposed to be hard...u'r supposed to be behind....oh gosh...i want to know everything and i want to take my exam soon...tired of answering people, no hv not taken it yet...hold on....what is important, is to get a high score so -------everyone....just study....keep going....yr aim shd be to be efficient...& not care abt anything other than studying.
ok, i think plus everything else USMLE has caused me to hv multiple personalities as well

Hello journal and friends,
Past 2 days I 've been v. busy....I've hd taken few moths leave from work to study and that would end soon...as I still have d exams to do, wanted to extend my time off...but apparently not possible and wld lose my job....anyway still hv to meet up wt my boss tomorrow...
Ok been studying as well....finished Muscleskeletal....finished FA renal.....
and now will be doing Dr. Goljan's renal lecture....hv 10 hrs to go...
Also I started to come to library...and it is much better than staying at home... I wasted so much time recently just by staying at home...i can never study anywhere like the way i do in lib...it is much more productive and for longer hrs....now again i can study for at least 12 hrs a day....i hope i remember this and try to come to library everyday no matter what...
Melu.....thank u and don't think so...probably need to postpone it again...but this time i hv no choice than taking it as my eligibility 6 months period is ending by July end...so yah will take it by end July...
Will update after finishing the renal notes

Simran,
Thank you
Regarding the Q bank scores...pls do not worry and don't expect to get good scores all the time...just yr aim should be only learning from them...I am not getting high scores...my exam is soon..but i don' care and i am just trying to learn and repeat...pls read post #23 in 1st page of my journal to see what Lakshya has to say abt this...only let NBME judge yr knowledge at the end...
Also check ur PM...
Keep studying well and stay strong

Thank you sooo much Simon...esp. for your such a powerful line "I cant wait to see you succeed"
I can not do this alone...thank u!!
OK...I have to move on to the next system, even though hv not finished with the resp. uw qs...there are 135qs...done 48...I try to learn and remember every single qs...I am writing very short notes on every q in my FA...so will revise again only from FA at the end...
Next system is Reproductive...tonight will read some biochem and off to bed.

You are right. Don't postpone again. Otherwise you'll never get it done. Me myself changed the date twice. But I did feel much more confident after one more month of prep. No one ever feels ready for the exam. As long as you feel that you can score > 70% in any of the Q bank, go for it.

Thanks a lot, Cherryho
It's so nice when someone writes in your journal... gives you so much energy, courage & hopes...thank uuuu....
still doing reproductive...it is not much compare to neuro, resp, renal and CVS....but decided to learn well before starting on qs....also realised that i must do Physio KLN...as i did poorly in renal and resp uw questions after reading only FA. parts..so must read physi kaplan & Goljan notes as well...don't hv much time left...but must do them some how....I wish i could stay awake all night or i could read and learn super fast...i wish and wish and wish...only 41 days left to my test and i don't get good scores on UW qs... I have to take my test this time...
Will continue reading now...
