Thanks God! I have 2 kids (3 and 4 y.o.) around me all the time, it was very hard to find time to study and to my BIG surprise i got * performance on Pharmacology (which i was only guessing on all those graphs), Cardiovascular * (i got audio video with murmurs) and Respiratory system*....I am very pleased with my score, thanks to this forum for the great inspiration, i would not be able to study alone for this test.
My study material Kaplan notes 2002 (i found Pharmacology, Microbiology, Physiology, Neuroanatomy very sufficient for the exam!!!)
i did all 34, 100 pages of Goljan's notes ( i got a few Q in my real test),
i listen Goljan's audios (very good for hematology, endo, nephrology, etc.)
i read Goljan's Pathology Stars edition - bigger and more complete than his pathology notes.
HY Molecular Biology, HY Cell and Histology, HY Anatomy, HY Neuroanatomy,
Kaplan videos on Anatomy and Behavioral Science;
I did online timed NMBE forms 4,5,6 - my real score is higher than NMBE prediction
and i did UsmleWorld assesment - it was more close to my score.
I did UW subscription, i kept redoing questions as many times as i could.
My advice is to practice as many questions as you can. For all Mom's here: if you want to score above 90 - take your time as long as need...even if it's over a year of total preparation. It was hard on my kids, so i had to take breaks from studying and spend more time with them.
