HI guys.
I didn't finish all questions, only 30 of them.
Will start with questions.
@aparna, I think for the first time 10 questions a day is a good result, just take notes. It's not the quantity, but the quality that matters. How is studying going ?
Starting uworld, hope to hear from you guys soon
