I agree with this "We aim above the mark to hit the mark"...
My full time work is killing me, but is also good for my CV, and I might have publication as well.
Ughhhh.....
I am worried about the time, but I am pushing myself so I can meet my dedaline to complete everything by the end of September (2 times Kaplan plus Crust step2+ questions from time to time)...and then i can revise all over again and do billions and billions of questions!
My hubby bought me few days ago Kaplan Q book 2nd edition I think. Hope that is the newest?!?! Anyway I will dtart doing that every day, again and again...
Good luck to you too. when is your exam? Where are you with preparation, I mean other subjects?

Yes, the step 2 CK question book is good. I like to do lots of questions and that was why i bought it. Looks like we are in the same boat. I work 3 days a week and am trying to get this test done by September. Good luck and work hard and pray. When is your test?

December 1st! If I can find the job and work three days!!! I can't loose this job now, I need experinece, money etc....but I need time to study! I also have some job-related training that I need to attend, and the test which I have today regarding this...my brian is just filled up with information, no more can go into it....So so tired! I did some 20 questions from the Kaplan book yesterday, half of it was wrong! I just read once Kaplan IM, and I am going first time through Crush step2, so i plan for the weekend to read as much IM in kaplan as I can, second reading and then try to do some Kaplan tests....Was so dissapointed yesterday!
Good luck to you to! Work hard!

I have enough time ahead of me, I will use it smart, I will give my best, I will study for knowledge as it will help my patients tomorrow, I will score high as this will be my chance to fullfill my dreams.
From now on, nothing can stop me. I am starting seriosly now!
