hi everybody out there.............. first of all thank u all for such a wonderful site.....
have a serious problem... my exam date is may 29th.. earlier had it on 21st... changed it 15 days ago... but again i feel like postponing the date coz couldnt revise properly since a few days.... feel i dont know anything... what do u think i should do??? sad everybody feels i am too fickle minded about the exam.... WHAT SHOLUD I DO???? listen to others or to myself???????????????????????

first, listen to urself, others aren't taking ur exam, u are, so u have to be comfortable taking it..

secondly, know that ur never going to be 100% ready for this exam, u can't possibly know everything, just study those common things really well, that is what they ask, there will be questions u wont know the answer to, and that is totally normal, so dont panic..

u just hve to get thru the materials however u can, do lots of questions, take an nbme to see where u really stand (www.nbme.org) and that will tell u approx where u are in passing or failing range, and then study ur weak areas and move on.. u cant let this test control ur life, trust me, i did, and now i'm hopefully done with them, hehehe..

anyways, best of luck and listen to ur inner voice, if ur not ready, ur not ready, but know that u'll never be totally ready, so do ur best, take an nbme and see where u are at, and then go from there, no point in panicking, would u go to a doctor who panicked at everything?? didn't think so... hehe.. good luck friend and be confident!!! nodnodnod

Take NBME and go from that. People say it is the best predictor. Also it depends on your personal sutuation and your goal to achive...good luck!
