HI samreena,
Everyone has their own study style and I guess u are the best judge of what suits u but now that ur asking I have the following suggestions:
1. doing UW subject wise in a way kills the purpose...doing timed random subject 50 question blocks are what u will be needed to do at the exam and its that what u need to practise (that is not to think subject wise)...once u finish the entire UW, for ur second revision u can go subject wise if u need....
2. Making notes of everything in the explanation is bound to be tiring!. Maybe u should concentrate only on the stuff u dont know...and make points of those....most of the theory stuff is there in Kaplan ...just note down what isnt ...in fact when i try to write down everything i notice that my mind goes blank and i just mechanically keep copying!
all the best

I havent done UW yet, so i dunno how that works.. But why do you need to actually write things down. cant you just copy and paste it in a document and print it later..  I am sorry, i dont know if you can copy when you use UW.

hey guys ,thanks for the reply.
i know its very time consuming to write it down,i will see if i have any energy left after doin physio .its just for satisfaction purpose i was writing it down.and yea i tried taking pictures of the screen ,but a big flash was appearing ,so i clicked on settings and chose 'closeups' option .its a nice idea..but for 2000 questions an explanations,i dunno how long will it take.
i still have to do pharm,path,and micro.........3 huge subjects..i actually read them like couple of months back.but didn't do it with UW.do u guyz have any idea ..how long it shud take me to finish it off...
thnks.
