step 1 - - ArchivalUser - 11-12-2003 shilpa guys,i have 4wks to go for the actual exam,can any of you give valuable suggestions on how to study in this last minute & on what subjects i have to stress on.i'm almost done with my qbank.getting an average of 63%.i'm too scared,how does this score be corelated with the real exam cos when i look into this forum i see people scoring 70 - 80%. can i take the exam or not???????? please help. 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-13-2003 lou hi shipla i should be taking my exam in about 4 weeks as well. just to encourage u. u could focus on those areas of the qbank where u have the lowest scores and read them up again and then re review the questions. dont worry too much, at least i know a lot of people inflate scores so dont use it and erode your self confidence. stay confident and study hard! best of luck!! 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-13-2003 roberto shilpa, 63% is too low. If you can postpone the exam, do it. Who is rushing you? Even if you pass, it's really important to get high scores if you want to stand a chance in the match. That's the way it seems to be for IMG's. If you can't postpone it. BEST OF LUCK!!! 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-13-2003 DR Joe I agree with Roberto Delay until you are hitting 75% plus Use high yeild and do all the q-bank You can only take this once and you want to get as high a score as possible to improve your chances of a match Ps- I got 98 in step1 and have got many interviews b'cos of this Joe 0 - ArchivalUser - 11-14-2003 Kum Hi shilpa, I just gave step 1, got 94. My best advice would be to go over what you have done again and again. There is nothing new to be learnt in 4 weeks, and what you have read it just enough, you have to know it well. So that the 1 minute you get for reading and answering will be enough. Its not how much you know, its how well you know what you know. Best of luck, Kum |
