Micro Done

Micro is done. The guy who wrote CMMRS is now officially my hero. I needed a full week on this because my school absolutely sucked at teaching us this, and the content was heavily deemphasized. 74% on Qbook. Starting patho next week.

Physio Done

BRS Physio was a nice and easy read. I just finished the comprehensive exam at the back with an 82%. There are 99 questions in this exam covering all the topics in the book. I wonder why they couldn't have just thought up 1 more question to make it an even 100. Weird. 88% on the Qbook phys section as well. I think I'm ready for this section.

Anatomy and Neuro done

BRS Neuro is done now. I just finished the Anatomy/Neuro Qbook section with a mid 70%. I guess that's not terrible but there's definitely room for improvement. Physio is next. Did I mention that I hate neuro?

Biochemistry First

So here's the strategy. Start with biochemistry. It's the topic that is the least fresh for me. I'm using BRS and it's turning out to be a bit of a meal. Then, it's on to Kaplan Qbook. From what I'm hearing, getting consistently over 70% on these types of questions are a pretty good indication of preparedness, so I'll aim to do that or slightly better. Hopefully, a lot better. We'll see.

Studying Begins

Yep, today is D-Day, H-Hour, S-Second. Wait a second, no it's not. We'll reserve that title for my exam date. Actually, today is just June 5th. Studying begins now. I've decided not to take the well trodden path using a pre-made X number of week schedule. People swear by the Kaplan 6-week schedule or similar facsimiles but who cares what other people thing? Who better to set the pace than the person writing my exam (that’s me in case you’re not sure). I’m the only one who knows my strengths and weaknesses so I’m know exactly where to spend that extra few days on my problem topics.
