Its good gyz.. we r start gathering here.. it will good if we share what we have done today & what are our targets for 2morrow.. As i have completed my 1st chapter of physiology its fluid distribution & edema with lecture.. it gave me little bit confidence that i can do usmle.. 2morrow i will try my level best to complete ionic equilibrium & resting membrane potential.. i know these r just few pages & if u want to do steps u have to study around 6 hrs but as i have started my studies after a long gap & i am getting my pace slowly & gradually.. i hope in couple of week i will get the rhythm.....:eek:

Friends. I am doing first reading of KLN. My first subject is Anatomy and I hope to complete it in the next week. Almost 2 months now on Anatomy. I tried Goljan but did not complete reading it. Next week, I hope to start another subject. I am doing this first reading with the video.

Thanks brooo.. basicaly after many months of research i have finally made my mind to follow the following plan IA if every thing goes well

Physio + lect
biochem & gent + lect
Anatomy
Pharma + Lect only (ANS,CNS)
micro & immuno
Pathology Goljan + audio lect
Beh science + lect from BRS & HY

1st read = KLN + Lect
DIT program if possible
2nd read= KLN + Q bank
3rd read = KLN + Uworld:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I pray to GOD , plz help me to follow this path.. hope u like it.. any advice in this plan is highly appreciable

no problem bro about ur questions... question is very essential for hitting good score in usmle:D.. yes man i am soo sorry i forgot to write first AID as u have to cover this book around 4 to 5 time cover to cover... & i will start reading it after my 1st read..... i am from Pakistan.... DIT is basically means doctor in training , its like a full program for prep of steps.. they have video lectures they start from very basic, as i am not full known about this thing & gathering information and keep u posted as i found it more... 1st our motive should be complete our 1st read of KLN.. it is the basic toll.. we will discuss DIT further but now just one should concentrate our 1st read.. what u say?????????:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

thats the exact triad i am looking for ....can you please keep us posted as soon as this triad is available as i am sure it will act as positive reinforcer in our studies:rolleyes:

as far DIT is concerned its a rapid review of first aid which comes with a booklet of questions ,i think it is okay to use as it solidifies the factual stuff in your brain but definitely not worth to spend $700 (when 2011 version is on torrent:D) again if you have time then go for it after you have done first read of F.A by yourself but not a must.
(p.s keep looking for 2012 version as well on torrent as mostly its taken down as soon as its uploaded)

yes man there is a strategy fo r behav science... i will keep u inform in few days... from brs we have to read not whole book just have to read 4 chapters & from high yield just few chapters... i will keep u updated as we reach there....
Dr Shamail, please give me my portion of the cake now. I will be done with 1st read of KLN Anatomy in 2 days. I will start behavioural Science Kaplan note with lectures in 4 days. Tell me the chapters we need to read from BRS and HY for Behavioral science. Alone I cannot, but together we can.
