Hi I am Back with my score.99/239
Came back from a very heavy ER ....12 hr shift....
Opened my mail and there was the loveliest pdf I have ever seen in my entire life.
Ok so I am open to any querries.
See my older post for exam exp and tips I feel will help others
http://www.prep4usmle.com/forum/thread/74088/
Thanks a million to this forum it was my sole guide in what to read and how to go about it.
Thanks to arlete...her posts motivated me,ivonne her prep journal was an inspiration,and other members who r too numerous to mention here
Brief recap of my prep
sources
kap LN--all subjects-once in detail and 2 times in last 20 days
UW---had 2 mnth subscription but did all q in last 35 days only...made the difference.....arletes tip on how to do it was helpful in the end
nothing else
Total time for ppn-1 month 7 days...took unpaid leave n sat home.
before that had done kap ln once about 6-8 month ago n then had gone off track n stopped ppn for some reasons.
I will post later a few more tips for u all.

ok dont see explanations of q u get rt....so if ur score in whole of uw is 60%...it means u can leave those 60% q n read explanations of only 405 of uw q....but this may not work for all so see what suits u?

Yeah but i did not read page to page saw a topic n if i was comfortable about it i turned to next page so in about 6 hrs i was able to do the 350 odd pages of kap med ..n med is my forte.so thats how i did it.U cant imagine the number of pg Entrance exams i have flunked in my life[though never flunked in MBBS] so i guess my collective experienxce has now made me a smarter student.In last 20 days i was doinf uw timed mode and was seeing answers of only what i got wrong
