Hey guys.
Todays plan is 30 pgs FA, hemato-onco from Pathoma and 1 hour pharm.

@ewing1122whatsurt, its my 3rd time of FA, second time reading was with uworld, so partially done with 1 reading of uworld (but not all subjects).

my plan is
1. Read 3rd time FA, at least 30 pages per day
2. pathoma (for 15 days)
3. 1 hour pharm daily
4. uworld( answers)
5. NBME (second week of April)

I dont know is it realistic or not, today is the first day of the plan lets see.

@ewing1122whatsurt, how much have u done ? please share with us ur plan and daily schedule.

@aniam

my plan is surprisingly similar to yours ->
- Read FA as many times as I can (ive read it about 1.5 times- read some chapters twice some of them once)
- Pathoma 2x or if I have time 3x times , ive read/listened to it once (not counting the time I do/did it for classes)
- took 1 nbme( 2 months ago, ~190 usmle ) 1 CBSE ( 80% ~ 220ish on USMLE)
- Im done with Uworld 1x( all random/timed averg in 60's -> PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT U THINK ABOUT THIS)
- planning to do all the nbme's, basically will do 1 nbme every sunday and plan my week accordingly.
- also planed to do pharm everyday, havent done it once, so not sure, but pharm and biochem are my weakest subjects. ( any suggestions on a good pharm flash cards or anything that may help wth pharm? I bought sketchypharm and its not all that great)
- if I find time, ill do kaplan.

whats your day-to-day schedule like? u said ur planning to ready 30 pages of FA/day, how long does that take u?

I'm doing uworld second time and planing to take the test by the end of May
My average score on uworld is not more than 60% and I'm so nervous and disappointed !!!
Need motivation

I have one quick question. What will be your total preparation time if you take the exam in may? and in what stage of preparation you decided to do the registration and take a eligibility period. Thanks in advance.
