Hello smiling face

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 ...... smiling face

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......smiling face ..have to increase day by day ...hopefully it goes upslope....grin

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.......grin

So .how about your study? Keep studying with all your might ..right.....smiling face You are doing well in the study......

Wish you all the best for the exam ..bunny ....

Im really impressed by the way u r doing good amount of study persistenctly & finishing ur targets everyday. Good Job nod

How many hrs can u make on average per day? I have been trying to increase my focused study hrs for long. Must learn from unod.

Keep up the good work.

hi girldoc,

thanks for your words smiling face ..but these two days i do not finish all shaking headsmiling face

Usually, I study 3:30 hrs each in the morning and in the afternoon..........For the evening I can get 5hrs if I have no place to go

So average hrs for a day is between 9-12hrs ....

But it is not true for weekends . sometimes only 5hrs during weekends.grin....

now here is 12:25am

finished mcqs .......have to call a day now ..smiling face

Best of luck to all
