Friends,
I have been calm since the last few days of my preparation
and now i am having flashbacks and nightmares
even my husband dreamt that i scored very low.rolling eyes
I am studying for CS and CK
that helps me to forget about the anxiety for the time , but i have hard time while falling asleep.

Despite the fact that your anxiety is justified - it would be miles better to relax. (pun intended!)

You'll do amazing mile99. Worrying will do your more harm than good. So just focus on your step 2 studies so you could match that step 1 99 you'll get!

You've taken the exam and, at least for now, it's behind you. You should be happy that it is over and try to get your mind off of it for the next several weeks until the results are ready. Until then, it doesn't make any sense to worry about it as worrying will not do anything to change it.

Think about it, let's take both options:
Person A takes the exam and worries obsessively about it for several weeks straight, then gets the results where the score = n.
Person B takes the exam and is care-free for the next several weeks, then gets the results where the score = n.
Person A and B both received the same exact score of n, regardless of how much they worried about it. As you can see, n is not effected by anything done after the exam. So my question is "which person would you rather be?"

A good friend of mine taught me a long time ago and I've been much better off ever since. It basically means that you should not needlessly worry about the things that you have no control over because it won't change the outcome. If anything, concentrate your efforts on the things which you can make a difference with.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

I love this piece of advice:

"you should not worry about the things that you have no control over because it won't change the outcome. If anything, concentrate your efforts on the things which you can make a difference with." smiling face

THANKS A LOT GOGETA!!!

Your words mean a lot to me.

Especially the A and B person comparison . It actually is so obvious that we have no control over things after exam .. but the comparison makes it so simple to practice

Thanks a millions GOGETA!!

hi milee!!
good luck for ur score!!
,my exam is on june 7 .rt now i m going thru the kaplan notes n uworld n q book .on an average i m getting around 62-64%in uworld these days ,and around 70-75% in qbook .rt now the plan is to stick to kaplan notes till end may n mean while i also plan to take nbme 1 around may 17 followed by another nbme on 27th may .n then if i get a satisfactory score in my nbme s then i ll take my exam on june 7 as per plan otherwise postpone it .
any advice regarding the whole plan ??
my cs on june 26 so kindaa running out of timesad
oo n i ll inshallah do fa in the last week.


  #40

hi skamran
your plan is fine,
but do nbme 2 and either 3 or 4. nbme-1 overestimates your score so i believe its not worth spending on.
your uworld scores are fair enough, and they will improve eventually. use it as a learning tool.
don't worry , stick to your plan , you will do it in time

All the best!!!
