i will soon send more q as i am extremely tired after the exam and have some v imp comitments but trust me i will keep on sending the q as i remember.
friends study by discussing and don't read too many books because time is a big factor there is so much material in the market that you will be tempted to read all of them. they can make you academically good but you might miss fire in the exam.
REMEMBER PLAY TILL THE END AS FINISHING IS MOST IMP IT IS NOT THAT HOW WELL YOU HAVE PREPARED RATHER HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO CARRY ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO GET IT CONVERTED INTO A POSITVE POINT IN THE EXAM BECAUSE IN STRESS YOU MIGHT FORGET.
USMLE IS A MARATHON AND IT IS A BLEND OF KNOWLEDGE AND ENDURANCE TEST.
ALL THE BEST FRIENDS FOR THE BEAUTUFUL JOURNEY OF STEP 2CK. HI BDJ THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP I AM PRAYING FOR YOUR EXAM ON 6TH NOV.
PRAY FOR MY RESULT.
