one more qs sunny bhai.

did u gve kaplan simulator?

wts ur opinion regarding it?

i gave it today nd got 64% , im quite terrified by this result cz one of ma seniors who hs done step1 ( score 97) told me that there is a corelation b/w simulator score nd step1 score i,e

step1 score = kap simulator score + 20 + 2

so acording to this formula my step1 score is falling b/w 82 - 86 which , u knw , is quite low hmmmmmmmmm.i also solved kaplan q book . questions of both ( kap simul;ator nd q book ) were quite WEIRD for me although im preparing since last year,doing no H/J , studying for avrg 10 hour pr day bt still could not perform well on simulator hmmmmmmmm.

the style of the step1 qs is similar to the q book or kap simulator style???

my date is 24 sep nd sep is last month of my triad,im thinking to postpond ma triad hmmm wts ur sugesstion??????im alot depressed rit nw as im not doing H/J , depending totaly on step1.

my score in kap q bank nd usmle q bank is b/w 68-70%.

waiting for ur suggestions

thks nd good luck again for ur step2

well done. ANY ONE COULD ANSWER MY Q , I HOPE HE DO . THANKS.

CONCRNING THE GOJAN AUDIO . ARE THEY ONLY FOR PATHOLGY OR THE R A SERIES OF ALL TOPICS?

Sunni thnx so much for this post... My best friend and I have been thinking about dropping out from med-school for a semester to study for step 1...
But lately we've been havin' our doubts and this kinda give us a clearer perspective on what to expect.... We finally decide a few days ago to rethink the idea and we called it quits.... I think it's for the best since the majority always waits 'til med-school is over to do it...
Thanx again for the kind words... They gave me more hope 'cause I'm also in "a very average medical school" in a 3rd world country (Panama) but we work our asses off trying to go a little further always serching an explanation for everything...
The best of lucks to you...

I WANT TO ASK ABOUT GOLJI AUDIO. IS IT ONLY FOR PATHOGY?


  #46

@malik

i didnt do kaplan simulator ... I think u should take an NBME to see where you stand .. NBME gives you the best correlation with the real thing .. I m not an advocate of postponing exams because i had friends who postponed it and their scores never improved .. you get tired reading and it can harm your score ...


@dr chewy

U r welcome

@abummeis

Use goljan book for patho only ... goljan has written other books too but they are not used by many people ...I dont know much about them either ..
