Kaplan Qbank USMLE



Author15 Posts
  #1

Hi,
My exam is on 17th if may. And, countdown starts now! My confidence has become a ping-pong ball. I solve few of the remaining Kaplan's qbank which I left for the end and I get somewhere from 70% to even 90% right. I dont know where I stand and what I will get. One night, I was feeling sleepy, so I though of taking a test. And, people told NBME just has 4 blocks, so I thought lets do it. I could finish 2 blocks and then, in the morning I finished rest of two. It gave me a confused score of 410 which is I think just above passing.
So, my confidence again dips down as I was aiming of 99 (whats bad in aiming? you cant dream after exam!). grin
Well, I get back to books and plan to revise whole Kaplan stuff in two days. And, start is good as I finished Anatomy, Behavioural sciences and Biochemistry in one day. Perhaps, by tomorrow, I will try to get over with most of the subjects. And, then again take the test!
You can feel the pounding heart and struggle with myself that I am facing. Plz helppp!

Try to remain in the positive confidence. You have studied really hard for the exam. I think your exam score on NBME would be higher.....remember you took part of it when you were tired...so effected score. Relax during the exam and try to focus on what they are asking you. I have to confidence you will get the good marks.

I did take Kaplans simulated test today and I got 76% correct, which gives me a boost. Time to revise as much as I can. Last week- what to do? So, I opened First aid suggestions. Well, it talks about confirming the test center which is ofcourse of prior importance.
Another thing thats necessary is to cool down urself but how?

Very good going..doctorjha..

Do not worry we feel you definetly do very well...

To calm myself..I only pray and keep faith in Almighty rather than my ability and knowledge..
Hope this helps!!

All the very best..

Thanks everybody!
Now, I have anyway reached such a stage that I cant extend the date! All I can do is wait and face it. And, the most dangling mind I am having right now. Friends advised not to do qbanks at this moment and just do First aid. So, I pick up our "LAST AID" again but it always looks the same. I read it everyday atleast 2 times but I dont know if its helping.
Life has become more cool now as I cant study anything else now...just the first aid! So, I went for gyming, playing squash but when I came back...I thought lets try a q block. And, I scored 38...so, I tried another, got 32. I was confident I can hit 40 atleast once, so I tried the third and I got 35. Perhaps, I just cant!!!
But, I am doing mistakes in Acid-base balance and Physiology particularly RS. Lets do them again!
