hey guys,
as i give my exam this monday I descided to write down how i did it (hope to do it – to be more prescise). I spent around 6 months for prep because I had to keep on working during prep (from somewhere the money has to come from Happy-2) I teach anatomy and embryology at university.
I started preparing in August last year while I worked at the Charite in Berlin. I totally underestimated that book -> I was always like: yeah…I know…yeah…yeah…and then-> wtf did I just read??? I started Kaplan vids and qbank mid December and finished both on 20. January (qbank 72% - no idea how that happened, I felt like **** while doing it). Mid January I started uworld – which drove me crazy – finished that on the 12. February (74%)
My first NBME was on 10.2. : it was form 6, 460/214
Then 11 on 2/3/12 490/219
Then I finished uworld the second time (80%)
Two weeks ago my father was at hospital with suspected lung embolism and all my work went straight to hell. I got some weird infection: got nearly 40° fever, some weird ECG changes and it was not sure if they could get me out of the hospital till my exam. But I got the OK from the doctors so I decided to give it a try.
I don’t really care anymore about the score or anything. Not only because of my father but also because: I GOT AN OFFER FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
So it would be great if STEP 1 works out but it’s no problem if not…
Feel free to ask and wish me luck;-) I’ll post my exam-exp on Thursday I think.
Hugs,
