I got my result this morning and i passed! 213/88
during my exam i was counting the questions where i only guessed my answer and it summed up to 144. i was so scared i'd fail so i just prayed and prayed, during every question i took and everyday after. so many people prayed for me as well. God really answers prayers. I positively know that it was only by His grace and mercy that i passed.
my advice- just do your best and in the end, leave everything up to God. He will help you and bless your hardwork
total study time around 4mos but staggered
my review materials:
kaplan lecture notes for physiology, micro, immuno,
first aid and uw for the rest
goljan 36 pages 2-3 days before
TIP- if you're running out of time or you're the type who has a hard time studying thick reviewers (kaplan) i really think studying first aid intensively plus uw would suffice. and then add the goljan notes towards the end just for memorizing. just make sure you memorize important stuff like rate limiting steps, etc
uw was very helpful especially in terms of slides and images.
avoid distractions.
stick to your favorite review material, don't spread yourself too thin by studying from too much sources.
PRAY, PRAY, PRAY!!! IT'S YOUR BEST TOOL
God bless everyone!
