hey lets see, i am feeling bad for you...its easy for us to say its okay, you'll get over it or we understand ...but really only you would know how you feel and how tough it maybe for you to concentrate. I just wanted to let you know we are all here for you...let it out of your system once in a while and you will feel better. Goodluck...

Yes you can! Keep up the good work. Pray too as you go along. How's UW? Are you taking notes or you'll do 2nd revision by doing the q's again? GL to you...

thanks!! i am praying!!! well i finished uw today!! not did that well by my standards.. got 51 av...but i felt that there were so many qs that i could have gottnen right... and well had dips where i scored in 30s and a couple of tests on which i accidently stopped the test... all in all my range was from 43 to 61.. i guess mostly in 50s i am planing to do a final reading in the next 15 days..along with crush and doing wrong qs from uw i hope this is a good plan only 20 days remaining still skeptical about nbme... after uw... my confidence is runing a little low but lets see... tomorrow i start a marathon of 3rd and final revision... next 15 days should be something i sure hope they make a difference

i did take notes with uw... but i feel it would be more useful if i repeated the questions i got wrong

It's time consuming but it would be rewarding soon. Keep it up!!

i sure hope so!! i am doing the wrong qs from uw and then revising the topics... meanwhile making the final notes for uw... 15 days to go done with surger... derm, ent, eye third reading in the middle of med and paeds doing crush along with that its just soooo much work well not many days either lets just seee i am sill skeptical about doing nbme... with step 1 my confidence level just went down after doing nbme... this time i dont think i have time the only thing is that i am not sure if i would have time to redo things even if i assess myself by giving those tests its just not possible for me to extend the date of the test!! well i think i'll pray harder.. and work harder  keepin the faith!!!
