owl..i haven't started the videos yet..im just still taking suggestions from ppl on the forum...i think more than anything i need fit for that kick and the structure

hope everyone is studying well...
@raw
i went thru only one video and i felt like he was just talking to himself .. maybe cos i ve not revised properly .. so i guess i ll take some advice when u are done with it ie if u do it ..

i m going very slow .. my discussion is going ok .. an hr a day .. but do a block in the morn with exp , plus i m going real slow , have done only 20 pgs still now .. dont know whether to go on with the discussion or not , feel like maybe i shd do qs in an hr instead of discussing .. then i m scared too that i ll go off track and bored .. kind of confused ..

@2177
how is it going ..

vena s on vac ?
owl..its normal to feel u are slow...fa has so much info in it..it is impossible to do it quickly..so u do discussion with your sp? can u tell me what u guys do i mean what is the method of u guys studying? do u guys quiz each other?
Hi guys ..how is every one ..i see everyone studing ..is only me not....yesterday i didnt feel good ...i was sick lil...but today i was fine but as @owl .said i waa on vac..i did read only one hr and now starting again...and our home internet isnt working this 2 days and now i used my phone but its slow not like my computer..i cant use it as well...so i missed so many pages here...@2177...i cant be silent like that ..its 2 days...yesterday i did look at our thread and i said hi to all even i were not studing ....
Now i will try read some pages ....see you
ok back from a long long break . will revise & then sleep .
hi vena nice to c u here again
@owl it slow for everyone but dont let it be so slow like a snail
@raw

we discuss an hr .. but its less of fa and more of uw qs pertaining to that topic .. she s done fa 3 times .and uw too . we ask each other qs , i feel like its more of a uw discussion...it helps cos u get to interact .. i mean patch up points that u miss and the other person knows ..
this is almost like my first FA now cos its the first time i m taking fa exclusively , plus i did it along with my kap readings so i use to scan it most of the time .. now i am not so familiar with fa , cos kap use to be so clear that fa looked so easy compared to it .. but doing fa only ikind of feel lost .. i m not sure if i shd carry on my discussion cos i feel like it ll be better for me to finish fa first and do more of qs .. maybe at ur stage it might help discussing ,, if u want give it a try .. see for a couple of ds and leave it if doesnt work .. u ve just 1-2 hrs to lose a day if it doesnt work out .. its up to u though..

@2177

thanks dear , i did 20 pgs today and 45 uw qs .. and thats really bad .. dont know how to do more , i almost sit the whole day ..

@vena

its ok dear , dont take it so hard on urself .. but dont get out of touch .. our brains forget things very fast and it takes time to start the brain engines too ....

am very7 tired .. retiring to bed .
@owl ur partner did 3 reading of fa & u feel like its ur 1st , how do u guys correlate ?
compared to kaplan fa appears so easy but some chapters do need kaplan ( add it to ur fa in the way u understand )
@2177
we corelate ok cos she s doing uw 1st time , and i ve done it twice .. and i rememb the qs she asks .. prob is my speed .. cos she s fast , maybe its her 3rd .. but i dont want to rationalise myself cos its still the same knowledge, i shd be doing faster .. anyway , i still have a chance tom ,,i ll do uw till 10 am tom and start fa after 10

good nite guys ...
good morn

rise and shine .. its feb 14 .. happy valentine to everyone ..

starting uw .. till 10 am .. hope i cover a decent amount..
GM all , last night i did some revisions & also did micro uw without prep so did not do well in them . will start the ques explanat along with fa

@owl ur partner is fast is in which sense ? is it able to ans the quest when doing uw or is it when quizzing each other from fa ?
the knowledge in the all the books is the same but each book has its way of explanations about the same disease ( fa makes uderstanding complicated , uw makes it soo easy to understand)the way u familirize ur self to the book will make ur flow of reading or revisions easy.
