Report Abuse * Re:The secret to 99 #258921 ninhkieu - 02/04/06 14:21 here is Sharvil's secret that I got from another forum you know what if you want a 99 it is possible, just follow these simple intructions, first of all decide that you want a 99, i mean if you decide that you want a 95 you will get a 90 so aim for 99 and nothing less. You are only limited by what you think. If i told you that you could never fail what would you do? Do not get frustrated easily, life has just started for you, take one step at a time and enjoy it. You have great intelligence and education and a great life in US, how many of your countrymen can get such an opportunity. here is what i would do......... i would sit down first for 2 hours shut down my cell phone and take a notepad and a pen and start answering the following questions with full honesty and sincerity.......... what do i want (if you are honest here you would say i want a 99 because anything less than that would be a lie), how would i feel when i have achieved my target? (think of you holding you usmle step 2 score sheet with a 99 and you giving your friends a great party and celebrating) what is preventing you from getting to your goal? how long would it take for you to reach your target? What are the resourses that you have that will help you reach your target? Do you have any role models who have got similar results? Describe your ideal day What is your timetable and plan for achieving your target? answer these questions, not orally, but write them down on paper. You can do this even in chinese, but your pen should not stop for half and hour, just keep on writing. then read it loud. go to the beach and stand in front of the sea and say it out loud. read it everyday after you wake up and before you go to bed. you need to be obsessed with the idea to get results. now you will start feeling more confident you should now start studying hard. first start by reading the first 50 pages of kaplan q book where they have shown you how to prepare for the test and how to answer the questions.................. there is a key to studying in medicine..before opening any book answer this question....Why am i reading this stuff? For whom am I reading this text book? What is your answer? It is for my patients? Any single line of the book can save the patients life. So then you will get highly motivated to learn each and every line of kalpan text book. So in your revision you have to do medicine + pediatrics 12 days ( e.g. read CVS from medicine and then CVS from pedia) it saves a lot of time and energy Ob-gyn 5 days surgery 3 days psychiatry/behavioral sciences 4 days so one revision in 24 days then do all the questions like usmleworld.com ( dont miss a single question), kaplan q book 10-12 blocks, q bank 10-12 blocks, usmle sample cd ( the one you get from ecfmg....dont miss a single question) what has to be done kaplan q book and bank usmleworld.com usmle sample cd harrsison text book of internal medicine......hematology slides, dermat slides and stuff.. photos from first aid last 10-12 days just dont solve questions but read all the material again. Take vitamin B complex pills everyday......or else you will get wernickes enceph 10-12 days before exam solve the kaplan simulated and the usmle sample cd then 2-3 days for each subject just read kaplan and nothing else, be confident, if you have read it before you are going to know the answer. take notes of all those things of kaplan that you think that you cannot remember e.g. leukemias, or pedia guidelines for head injury or infectious ds. at what cd4 count you get what infection in AIDS.............................. and write them in the diary........................... last 3 days, read no new material, just read those notes that you took and diary,...........also you might read certain topics that have to be memorized e.g. hemat, cns, kidney do a rapid revision of those things 2 day before exam do usmle sample cd again, see photos of harrison and first aid, read diary. day before exam just have fun,.......... go for a haircut, go for a massage on the head,..........its so relaxing, dont sleep in the afternoon or else you will not be able to sleep at night,........... do some physical activity like going for a walk,............ and relax with freinds,.........watch a movie................ and in the morning of the day before the exam read kaplan q book 1st 50 pages where they have described the ways to answer question in the usmle.....................dont read anything on last day before exam. just check your orange card and i.d. Night before the exam, when you go to bed, visualise yourself at prometric and giving the exam, you are doing so great and fantastic and you know all the answers all the time...............wow that is the greatest exam of my life..................... read something that inspires you before you go to bed, so that you go to sleep with positive thoughts in your mind............. the next morning awake refreshed and happy and ready to give the exam........... take 3-4 bottles of tang or vital z with you for energy. take some jam sandwich or something sweet so that you get lot of sugars, remember your brain needs glucose as sole source of energy. have a breakfast and take 2 tablets of vitamin B complex because you need them more today and take apples in breakfast.................one apple can stimulate you more that one cup of tea or coffee can. those of you who have a habit of drinking tea or coffee can take them to prometric as well............... again check the orange card and i.d................................... now take the blessings of your elders/god and conquer the exam in the center just take deep breaths go to toilet before the test begins............ wash your face with water and wash your eyes and feel fresh once you go inside the test terminal dont immediately start............. take some deep breathes. take the earplug and put them in your ear. take the marker pad and then write on the pad............I am going to do the very best. Come on You can and You will do it surely................Nothing in this whole world can now stop me..........Unleash my powers and awaken the giant within ........................... now you are confident........................ then start the tutorial.................... you cant skip it but just keep on pressing the next button until it gets over and then you will be asked your CIN no. Just type it and the exam starts. Read carefully and start exam. Dont worry.............. Just take the exam like you are playing a video game or computer game,..........no big deal just routine game....................... most important ENJOY the exam, after the block gets over just write on the pad. Great Job Doctor, keep up the tempo, keep up the good work , 1 block over successfully.......... DO the 1st two blocks simultaneiously without breaks. after two blocks take a break, wash your face and eyes to prevent eye strain and fatigue, drink some tang. and start the third block..... after your 4th or 5th block take a meal.................dont eat too heavy,................ and you are like 70% done. just give the blocks and after each block write something good about yourself........... i used the marker pad just for that.............. This willl be the best exam that you have ever given in your life................ Enjoy your life,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if you need any help, i m here to help. best of luck and you will do great sharvil it has worked for me, my score is 99/268........and anyone and everyone can get a 99..because we are doctors..........

Report Abuse * Re:The secret to 99 #267026 ericz - 02/18/06 10:13 This is something a lot of people are interested in. Aiming high is good advice. But I know someone very well. He aimed to only pass step 1 because he thought his CV was already very strong and not time and no need to get a high score, then he got 99. After that he felt step 2 appeared much more difficult and aimed to get 90, but he got 99 also. So there must be something else to it than just aiming high. Maybe, not giving yourself too much pressure around the exam time can keep you relaxed and you will handle everything better. For this a lot of people will agree I hope. Report Abuse * Re:The secret to 99 #267037 alibi - 02/18/06 10:49 'not giving yourself enough pressure around the exam' like being active in the forum, helps much in soothing your internalized pressure. By posting Qs and attempting posted Qs you will be able to know how people approach Qs in order to come to a right answer. Many people think that coming to the forum is a waste of time. I know a lot of active members that went home with 99 How about that?. Post challenging Qs, we will give it a challenging approach. Just as ericz said, the secret to 99 score does not always lie in having ambition. According to a politician in my country..'everybody has an ambition, ambitions must be made of sterner quality' Being active in the forum will expose you to more Qs and better interaction with people in the same boat of fate. No rest until we find the secret to 99. Alibiforsuccess.
