Hello everyone
Thank you all for your support during this journey
.
I am an old IMG & had to struggle a lot to make it. On this mid July I had operation for my bilateral ovarian cysts & then I sat for the exam on 23rd september. If I can make it, you also can make it.
First of all, I want to talk about study material. Hope that you will find it beneficial also. I wasted a lot of time on different books & on Internet to explore everything. To pass the exam you have to use time & appropriate resources rationally.First aid contains almost everything. You don't need to waste time on net searching.
I had 38qs from behavioral science & biostatistics epodemiology. My score report shows that I have border line performance in these 2 but all other are fin. I always had problem with these 2 topics because kaplan lacks understanding of statistics and epidemiology. For this reason, I read high yield biostatistics & after that statistic & epidemiology were really Easy. For decision making & ethical issue , I read medical ethics by Conrad fisher
.
Another thing I read both Goljan & pathoma. You can pick just 1. I love pathoma.
Don't waste much time on kaplan. Because what you need to memorize, you have to do that from First Aid. Read & understand every line of first aid.
Solve Uworld atleast 2 times & First aid @times.
All the very best to all of you for your exam.
