Hello  It has been some months I have been studying for step 1....but not with a good motivation.... I ran through FA, kaplan notes and KMS these months...but still need to revise and memorize all these again this time.... I prefer organ system approach except for Besc and stastics, BC, pharmaco and immuno & micro...( so many exceptions) I shall do mcqs at least an hour on daily basis.... For today, -glucose transport, metabolic pathway overview. fuel metabolism glycolysis, KCAC -cell injury -Qbank 20 items So, don't waste time.... Be active smile.... you can do it!

hi bunny, glad to see you here in my journal..........Thanks for the wishes and dropping me a line here ...... i started this journal with a new study plan yesterday....it helped me at least to finish the plan..but my rate is still slow...... ..have to increase day by day ...hopefully it goes upslope.... Yes , i agree that ............. learning from the mistakes I have made in the Q study is more effective and interesting for me and the facts become rooted somewhere in my brain....... So .how about your study? Keep studying with all your might ..right..... You are doing well in the study...... Wish you all the best for the exam ..bunny ....
