@usmle2177..thank u so much ..how is study going ??
@owlcity ,,thanks for asking..iam still with physio and i should finish it before 15 of this month ,,
@step1race,,@raw,,@fatemeh @user12 ,,how are you guys ??
this days thread is very active and i hope it remains like that till the end ........
see you
hello everybody,
i was away for few days but tried to complete micro from fa and now started anatomy, the videos are boring i'm tyring to complete it soon. any suggestions:
is kaplan enough for anatomy.
@owlcity and dr-raw u are doing great, initially i used to take long notes of uworld ques but later realised that i wont be ale to revise it so now i only write down few imp points in FA.
@Fatemah are you doing physiology along with videos? don't worry about the guests.....everything would be fine.
good luck
@dr_raw i also feel the same way u do mostly. but uw 1st round takes time. 2nd round should be fast. try to memorize & revise & retain more at this time. & for the notes underline the point in fa & write the quest id no. next to it.
let me tell u how i am doing
for notes from uw to fa ... i i hightlight the point in blue & put a big starmark with black pen for incorrect q & also if for better understanding only i write the educ object in blackpen next to it.
for correct quest i use red pen & put a checkmark . for rare explanations which are easy to understand in uw i write the full explanation . i follow this way so it will easy at the end before exam.
for revisions ... i put a target every week that by weekend i should be thorough in the incorrect quests of the previous subjects i did in uw before ( i revise atleast min 10 quest of a mixture each day so it will be 60 quest by the end of weekend ) . i am bad in revisions i dont follow them regularly so laid down this rule .
also i do new set of quest/ day with pharma & from today planning on adding patho quest subjectwise atleast 10 . so all this should be done by sunday.
read pharma pulmonary & did 1 block of quest will do there explanations now.
i got alot of antimycobacterial drugs which i didnt expect .
@dr_row.. don't worry.. that's Nl . the UW 1st round take time but you will be ok for 2nd time and you can review that quickly ... don't think that way you are doing great..
@vena86..I'm studding physiology and slow reader.... but worry about tomorrow bc my guest will arrive..
@imgpak...I'm studding physiology and its my 1st round and my plan is 30 pages with video but I always behind my schedule.....
Good luck everybody
@dr-raw
dont worry dear .. we are not computers .. or maybe the bytes are less .. i feel worse cos i ve wasted yrs in pracrice and then last 2 yrs wandering like a gypsy .. i wrote down all the drugs name s and their categories ,, first mugged them up ..then wrote it down big big letters .. and stuck it in some left over space around .. this memorisation really sucks .
@usmle2177
u are doing good .. i write uw in a small circle .. kap for kap notes and wiki .. around the points i add in .. i dont write only educat obj .. sometimes i leave a lot and write the explanations if i find the explanations good . sometimes i feel like its ok if i didnt write in my FA .. maybe it ll make it faster for me to revise .. cos if i see my kap notes there are too many things i ve written .. that i ve to look aroing in that mess .. sometimes i felt i wrote of useless stuffs too .. and my FA is totally clean except pharm and biochem .. well i ve got no time left so i guess i ll have to keep flipping KN along in other subs ..
i find ur rev methods good .. i did it fot some time.. but now i lost it cos half the time i fall behind my schedule and i get so tensed that i forget to take that 10 qs test at the weekend ..
@imgpak
u are rt ..dont write too many stuff .. ya u really dont ve much time at the end .. anyawy better to write something than nothing at all
