Hi all , had a 3hr break as i was not feeling well & went out for groceries i am fine now . thank god r else today would be wasted .
will continue from here but will keep schedule limited as heavy schedule is making me stressed out & patience makes perfect
@mutation i also aimed for the same time but will be in april as i will have some little distractions in the month of march as i wont be able to put in the maximum hrs required that u have read before the exam
ok guys back to study will update later
welcome to soohia & islandcrazy
hey guys..
i've been driving for 3hours today..was supposed to meet my husband for lunch somewhere...got lost...reached another town..turned back from winding roads..ohhh it sucks when u miss an exit!!
anyways..stupid me!!
getting back to lecture 3...taking forever...grrrrrrr!!!!!!!
@raw
hmm i can completely understand .. once i drove into a one way land .. was supposed to take the left and the guy next to my car gave me a way to go right .. and i did .. and came back fast in the reverse .. lucky there was no camera around .. i already got 2 tickets ,, lol!!
@vena , it takes time dear .. i can understand .. i started resp fa and ended up in kap for the last 2 hr .. will wrap up in half an hr and start path resp .. i hate to open uncle goljan again .. it takes so much time ..
am not very good in advising wat to write .. am so bad in it myself ..
gonna finish up cns drugs today along with lectures + a block of uw hopefully
@soohia & islandcrazy: welcome to the thread
ok today did pharma drugs of gen & some anti microbial (reading them after a long time ) will go on to next topic cvs physio as it is already 3pm & wasted alot time without studying till now
@vena r u memorizing the neuro u read ? the tracts , SC lestions etc ..? try from now some each day as neuro is vast & not easy ,there are 88 questions in uw in that topic.
iam back from lunch .......start again only did 10 pg ...
@2177..yes some of them ...but your right i should do that .......
@soohia and islandcrazy...welcome ,,wish u the best
@owl ...yes its lengthy ....whatever.... we will do it and all say yes we will do it ..we start it and willnot stop til the end
:~)
@2177
how is it going .. will u be giving nbme this weekend .. i ts almost 3 wks i m stuck with fa .. i wish i hadnt wasted days in b/w doing uw .. shd ve finished fa only .. dont think i ll finish fa at this rate .. i still ve repro, renal ms sk and neuro ..
guys .. pls advice how to do it faster .. i always need to open kap and goljan cos all my notes are inthere .. and it takes the hell out me to memorise .. feel like my first 2 reads of fa along with kap were totally usless.. only now i feel i am catching up some of the fa map in my brain.. like 2177 said ... visual memorisation .. but its taking so much time .. and i still feel so tempted to write down stuff cos i had not written much in fa .. i wish i had written in my first time .. i wasted so much time writing in fa in my second read of kap too .. pure wastage of time d/t my idiocy ..
hey owl i can understand it must be crazy to do all of that at once..this time when u read FA keep writing page number of kaplan notes in your FA...keep your FA open and read it...where ever u have written uw notes in kaplan, write that page number adjacent to the topic u are reading..then direct yourself to that page only and go read that..its one and the same thing...if u read your notes in FA or uw...it takes time..
also u can't really run away from kaplan...u have to go back to it anyways...even when i have written all the notes in FA i need to keep going back to kaplan...so i have put lots of sticky tags to each kaplan book ...i used to read FGA and kaplan together...once i did that together...i had an idea of what i need to read in kaplan...so now i do say one subject in FA,...and then pick up the corresponding KAp notes and just open the pages i have put sticky tags on..to save time...
i would suggest just go through FA and kaplan once fully and give the test...from my experience i put in a lot of time reading and by the time in 2 weeks when i gave my first name i had forgotten a lot from day 1...so repetition repetition is a must..
i would also suggest after this read go for dit...it really helps but only do it once u are really comfortable with FA and i think u have gone over it enough to do it
Q what causes myocarditis ?
