good morn evreryone ..
@dr-raw , @classymd ,i did enjoy the movie ..
@usmle21177
why dont u do the qs and then go back to the LN for each of the topic .. i use to give the test .. then go back to the notes and read about the drug .. then come back to the q and then see what what hints they gave in the q .. and the puzzle seems to be much easier then , and if u go thru the explanations again and again it gets really stronger .. i wd suggest not to just hang on to the notes esp since thats kind of making u tensed about the time too .. keep doing the qs .. use it as a learning tool for sometime until u feel confident
went to gym .. finished break fast and shower .. ready for the day..

hello everybody,
@owlcity you did great yesterday 50 questions; that's wonderful, best of luck.
@dr-raw don't go back to sleep.......have a great day.
@ uslme2177, when you will start doing the questions you will feel much better and owlcity is right going over the explanations again and again makes it much easier.
@fatemah, asa, i know studying at home is very difficult because i do study at home
and there are so many distractions. I hope you find a good lib.
today i'll try finishing micro from FA and then will start anatomy from tom. would like to ask is kaplan enough for anatomy b/c i remember during my first read i felt like it was not enough.
happy studying.

Hi guys
I have been reading for this exam now on and off for a couple of months but now due to time constraints i have quit my non medicine related job and decided to start reading again i have been doing this regularly since 2nd jan,
I decided to start with Kaplan videos in Physiology
Can any one advise me how many hours of studying per day is beneficial to make good use of my time and pass the exam?
Also is it wise to study the Videos all at once instead of study and then revise each subject with questions from Qbanks?
I do plan on reporting my progress here too
Any advice is welcome
