MED STUDENT VLOG (USMLE STEP 1 EXPERIENCE PART 2)

hi guys welcome to another vlog with me where I walk you through my step studying and what not so to see what I'm doing right now I am still on my first-aid grind and I am watching sketchy farm now I wasn't going to use sketchy farm it's exactly like such a micro acceptance for pharmacology but I started using it because I was having a lot of trouble using my flashcards memorizing all of these antimicrobials there's more over here and I was like let me just try 50 farm because it's Santori ously known for being very very long but I myself personally feel like I don't know what I was thinking not using sketchy farm because I absolutely loved it like the adverse effects of all these drugs it finally makes me able to remember them and so I feel like this is definitely gonna help me for step because pharmacology is definitely one of my weak points so today is Monday and last Friday I took a CBSE exam which is basically like a practice step exam and this was my results as you can see here is like borderline performance kind of like what I have to get if I want to pass and I got a few that were like over here in the passing zone and pretty much everything else is like in the middle or beyond failing like there's arrows saying that I like beyond failed so that's not good but what I am happy about what gives me some hope is that I have covered biochemistry and nutrition microbiology and immunology and that was all that I knew when I took this test and as you can see I did very well on those so what I'm thinking is as long as I just cover it know it really well I'm going to get progress like if these bars we're all the way back here I would be worried but I'm not worried because what I have studied is all the way in this nice section and away from this like horrible section so all I have to do is just you know learn all of this stuff I'm using halfway through the book it's kind of funny that I haven't really covered that many topics yet and I still have a lot more to go party triage or ultimate step snack you'd be the judge hi everyone so right now it is March 29th and it is eight almost nine o'clock at night I am reviewing pharmacology right now which is definitely a weak point and I'm going to be doing sketchy farm for these farm drugs I'm going to show you these are the anti microbials these are just the antimicrobial drugs that we need to know there's so many in here I think there's maybe like 60 maybe less it's just crazy how much I know of them just because I've been watching some sketchy videos so I'm definitely going to continue a sketchy farm and use that for all of my pharmacology and my farm book so I'm reviewing farm and then I'm going to start to fatigue farm for these autonomic drugs but right now I'm actually in cardio so yeah I'm making progress and I'll be but and I'll be at 311 by the time that March is over which is not necessarily halfway but it's close to halfway when April starts I basically have to start doing 14 pages a day I didn't doing ten pages a day but I'm gonna start doing 14 so that I can finish by April 25th review for five days and then my test is May first so let's pray that I can do it oh and let me show you my new world averages okay so there are a total of two thousand four hundred eighty one questions and I've only used fourteen percent of them I really really really have to start doing more of these my I am now in like the 62nd percentile and do you know remember I was all the way over here but now I'm in the 62nd percent and I think most of that is because I used to take you world test over poem renal a cardio even when I hadn't even like reviewed any of that and I consistently got like 30s or 40% and all I did is was lower my self esteem I don't know why people say that it's beneficial definitely not beneficial at least it wasn't to me so lately I've been doing practice tests only over the stuff that I've been over and I I finished cardio pass farm biochem immunology and microbiology so lately these have been my so I kind of started here in the beginning of March with forties and fifties and then I was still in the forties in the 60s and now I've kind of just stayed at least passing and not just passing but I've been trying to like stay in the 90 and 80 percentile so you can see it's been a you know a long road but I've actually been progressing quite a bit I think I've been focusing too much on my what I don't know page because I'm starting to realize that it's getting really really long and it's really hard to keep reviewing it because it's so long and I mean it's really helpful I think it keeps a lot of topics in but I think something that would be more beneficial is maybe review that sometimes but just do tons of questions that way you review your old stuff and that's been helping a lot today is another day with me I just I work I had a workout today and then I got ready and put on some clothes because I'm going to school today to learn I had a very bad City day yesterday very bad so I hope that going to school today will hopefully get me back on track it's just so it like hurts me how I let myself down so yeah hopefully this um I'll go to school and be a lot more concentrated and get away from my distracting home full of comfort and food so I'm gonna make breakfast and then I'm on my way I really want to do a look with this eyeshadow even if I'm just going to school oh my gosh all I did was barely tap my brush into the color and I can't it just blew up on my own this might totally be an excessive amount of makeup to take to school but whatever just go nobody's here I love studying on a Saturday all right look your simile rx that cook meant relator we all ready to go I have this app called flora and basically it just doesn't let you use your phone for as long as you want I don't want to use my phone for a long time this is the max so three hours and you can even put a price so that if you use your phone before the time is over you pay the app how much you want to put down right now which I'm not gonna put anything down right now because I'm not rich enough for that so basically you just press Start and this little tree starts crying you can't use your phone until the plant is grown see so you have to go back or your plant dies and that's really helpful for someone like me because I really care about plants I don't want them to die so yeah I haven't killed a plant yet so it's been very helpful keeping me away from my phone okay so I've been here forever but I did all of the work that I wanted to do and more so I'm happy well if I practice some farm and did some questions on new world I'd be even happier but first I got beat guys I am on a roll I got an 80 on a 20 question test and 102 hundreds on two five question test and then I did a twelve question test over ethical dilemmas and I got a 91 yeah I really need to start doing more you world questions I only did 42 today and I really want to do at least eighty to a hundred a day so I just need to slowly build up my stamina I'm now going to bring my laptop to bed and end the night to watching some cartoons otherwise known as get you far hello everyone welcome to another morning I just got to my little snack I'm going to school and this will be my little snack on the side basically just some carrots some celery and some broccoli with some ranch and bringing in my inner Easter Bunny let's go check on what the real Easter Bunny is doing has the easy baby being yeah I can hey I couldn't have it do my makeup again with my palate so we're going to school with pink eyeshadow again yeah it is Easter today and also a Sunday so guess what there's literally ain't no one in this entire building I guess everybody's got other better things to do than me so just gonna make myself comfortable here bask in the ambience went ahead and also picked up a dyke and hey kids you know guess they motivated or I started working on this and watching the secchi videos over the pharmacology and cardio I'm just going to start reviewing this my anti microbial flashcards and of course you can take my phone and go to my flora app and I'm gonna leave it at three hours so it's gonna put this away Wow this took me forever to get through there's so many but Farm is one of my weak points not that I really have that any strong points as you can see Farm was definitely one of my weakest points and definitely respiratory and renal where it's kind of odd that they put those in the same area and oh my goodness I sucked at cardio too but you know I've been doing some practice questions on you were and I've been scoring 100 so I think I can get that way up hello everybody welcome to another day of studying with me and this guy well I just finished like 17 sketchy videos that took me all day and I've been working since 11:00 and now I'm just reviewing my farm and my HR microbials and then I'm going to start working on continuing in the book calculated it and if I want to finish studying with first aid I have to start doing like 15 pages in the book a day I ran into a student or a fellow colleague at Walmart and she was basically telling me that everybody she knows it's not following their schedule it makes me feel a little bit better I haven't followed my schedule at all and everybody's actually pushing their date for their test back but I don't want to do that because I heard that's kind of expensive and even if it wasn't expensive I just want to get this over with I don't want to be doing this forever May first is going to be the day I take it I'm not gonna know if ands or buts about it I kind of have to get on full gear here because kind of falling behind and doesn't help that kids all over my first aid book mean guys that's not so sad right now right no matter how many pages are do in the book I'm always behind and I always I never have any time to do my you world questions I'm falling behind there and I'm trying to do my farm and I feel like I'm not learning anything and just feel like I can't ever finish my goals every day even though I try really hard [Applause] interesting set in case you were wondering why you bloat after you eat and wake up a lot thinner in the morning Nelly I'm on page 325 I did like 12 catchy videos and I've been working since page 304 21 pages not bad I just need to keep that up for the next month gosh I feel like I've been sitting on my butt all day long I didn't even exercise today because I really wanted to get this done I finally I did something today I've you know did a lot I'm going to do questions tomorrow didn't get to do those but I got kind of where I would need it to be in the book so that's good and right now it is 341 in the morning I'm really tired awesome news is tomorrow around 4:00 p.m. I have a meeting with my with a new research professor who wants to start something with me so I'll tell you how that goes but for now I am going to hit the Hague okay guys it's a new day I did an hour of studying and now it's time to go meet a possible new of research mentor and possible new abstract writing in the middle of studying called the LA subtypes associated with diseases and originally I was just going to skip this section and just call it a loss but you know when you do that you're just accepting the fee and that's not what I'm trying to do so I'm making some flashcards what makes a good grade different from a great grade is knowing these tiny kind of meaningless details if you know then that's what makes you you know on top and I don't want to sell myself short I kind of want to know everything guys look I finally found a difference between the 2018 first eighth book and the 2017 2018 - this is literally what it's like when I it's basically the phenotypic appearance of someone with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy but with no insensitivity to ph already seven minutes to spare but i'm i put so much effort into memorizing the vascular duties which are basically just diseases of inflammation of your vasculature I haven't had one question on you world about this and I've gone like through a lot of cardio questions I specifically filtered through the cardio questions and not once have I gotten one rescue Lidda teased vasculitis question but I bet they're gonna show up on my test watch they're gonna show up on my real you simile exam so that's why I'm getting ready for it morning everybody it is a new morning with me and today we are going to the gym because I woke up and I didn't want to do anything so at least I could do is go to the gym here we are at my gym basically I just go in this treadmill and walk uphill for a long time and then I do this app it's called eight fit and now this is not sponsored you used to do today's workout and this is all the things that you do and it's super easy and super fun so that's what I've been doing to kind of sort of stay fit during my days literally sitting on a chair all day long like how I having gotten the clot in my legs it's beyond me scholarship applications be like give me your whole life story the treatment for a semester Noma is a summation analytic this is the life of a med student my computer doesn't work my phone doesn't work and I'm eating pops for dinner let's see how I did on this microbiology quiz no freaking way oh god yeah good way to end the night goodbye everyone do you thing that I do every morning when I wake up as I open I basically ask myself every morning what's gonna get you out of bed and do it something productive do your own questions I have to do first aid and my flashcards and a little reviewing so like my book work and if I don't feel like doing those things then I go to the gym but I gotta do some of those safe oh my gosh guys I'm literally on the verge of crying took a biochem test and then to the Nemea immunology test I smell I haven't showered I haven't changed my clothes in two days eight horrible food all the time that's like all I have I'm failing all of my new rope quizzes I'm behind in my studying I like I I'm so tired I've been working

world is not in first aid I mean all I'm using is first aid so you know if it's not in first day and then I don't know it basically you world is very very hard questions this is just an alert a learning voice just like first day it is and so just you see it that way and yeah my scores were bad today but guess how much I'm gonna learn from my mistakes I'm going to fill those gaps and be a stronger student by the end of it on that note my camera is dying and so am I so going to sleep well my computer has officially stopped working I have zero idea what's going on with my screen right now my mouse doesn't work I don't know what this is although I know it has sucked I did drop a little bit of water on it and it got into the mousepad and so yeah it's not very usable right now so

immunology GI and hematology and if I didn't say that already so that's good alright mmm-hmm hey guys so just a little update this is how April 16th and I am moving on my first aid book I am now at page 498 I have a cool package because it is pretty much customary that every med student goes berserk after they take their step exam we worked so hard and so we deserve like the trip of a lifetime and some people are going to Greece some people are going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro and you know maybe that won't do something so drastic but we'll do something fun nonetheless I'm going to show you what I'm gonna do this summer oh my gosh it's so pretty okay little book and then what is this oh yes guys I'm going to ABC and Las Vegas which is like a giant giant festival EDM festival and I cannot wait to go I'm going with Christian and his friend and I can't wait to show you guys what I'm gonna do because it is much it well deserved okay guys so now I am getting started I'm ready to start another day of studying and I just want to tell you guys exactly what I do in case of any of your interest interested I start my study sesh writing down what I want to do every day with a plan after that I review cardio for my firm every single day I practice the news pet everything today so yesterday I did my anti microbials today I'm going to review my cardio farm and because you know Papas makes perfect and this is one of my weakest point so I make sure to study and new farm set every day then I go to my what I don't know document and today I'm reviewing the narrow I want to also do you world questions and I want to especially do them over msk derm and narrow because those are the last modules that I took I just finished narrow or at least a path and the anatomy aspect of it I have to do the farm today and I will complete it so I will be ready to do all of you or all of you world's neuro questions but you feel like this wasn't really a strong module for me it was really hard to learn so I will be doing questions to reinforce my knowledge and see what I don't know course you got to have a cup of joe and my cappuccino mug and I'm all done with my coffee I'm gonna start on my lip why you should never eat and do homework at the same time oh my goodness guys an awesome awesome thing has come to my attention I am so happy don't believe em I like I've been up studying all day it is what time is it try for you to the moon and I've been studying with this guy there's nonchalantly eating chips happy I'm so thankful for all of you and I don't know decision this is my goal like fifty thousand was literally my entire goal for YouTube and I was supposed to reach it by the end of the year hopefully and I reached it in April so actually is a flu isn't it's like I don't know what day it is or what time it is there anything anymore guys I just wanted to vlog this moment today is the first time that I can remember since I've been in college not just medical school as since I started at undergrad that I've ordered and had delivered my own pizza for myself but I think I've ever happened before because I know how bad pizza is for you all the things that I learned in my nutrition degree floating away but I'm really tired of cooking and I'm really tired of eating horrible food sooo pizza time Oh so basically what I'm saying guys is today is another day of my life my sad sad life and this is today's goals we will do the Arenal chapter which I have just begun and I don't know if you all watched my renal vlog before but I never put more work into a module before and I ended up still getting a B in the class so I just don't think I'm that good at the kidney but maybe this is my second chance so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to try to do 15 pages in my first-aid book per huge ten pages and the what I don't know document forward to fifty you world questions and gastro farm this is all I have left this little burst to get through these last 100 pages because then after that like I am officially I have no nothing more to offer no more energy to get through another week a is Friday and not next to Monday not this next Monday but the Monday after that is my exam so if you can see it you know it's getting down to the wire I only have ten days left to study and I don't know if you guys remember but I once had two months but I'm down to my last ten days and I gotta finish my first aid book and as you can see this is a all that's left just this a little bit I'm going to finish that hopefully by the 26 and then I get the 27th 28th 29th 30th to review and do a bunch of you world questions and just give it all I got and I don't know if you guys know this but K X's birthday is on the 28th so we will be celebrating that and of course I will be doing the song with my cool book Bart that I made I don't know what happened to my other bookmarks but basically dear future patients this one's for you just know that I do it for you I'm gonna do a little bit for myself and I didn't do it for you I wouldn't do it at all so I'm trying really really hard to be a really good doctor to someone someday I hope it's worth it and it's what keeps me going [Music] hello everybody so today is the 23rd I just checked but today is an important day is the 23rd it is Monday which means that today is the last CBSE then it is basically a practice step exam maybe you saw earlier in the video I scored a 64 I believe on my second CBSE I just hope that I mean I don't want to just pass I want to do really well so hopefully like today I will be able to demonstrate a way better performance and getting a 63 which I mean I want to get I'm really high grade you know I want to be a surgeon so far at least and so it would be nice if I could just score pretty well haven't done repro and I haven't done home yet I haven't done those yet so I don't expect to be very strong on those subjects but I do expect to be pretty strong on the other subject I really need to step it up this week this is my last week I take it May 1st I just really need us to step it up and keep going and keep steady me let's go get ready to take the CBSE it is 651 it's at 8 o'clock so I'm gonna pack some food first because you get to eat food during your exam so I'm gonna bring a lot of stuff that will keep me awake starters I have a whole bunch of Gatorade I'm not gonna bring all of them maybe two and I have my favorite snack in the whole wide world very I'm going to be soaking in red we are going to take the test the test will be going on in that group so yes that's good yeah oh I'm getting flashbacks I've been here forever so the test is over now I've heard that nobody walks out of a step exam or an nvme exam or anything and feels good about it and I don't feel good about it I mean I feel like I passed I mean I definitely knew a lot more than you know last month or the month before so I am with the case ster and somehow continuing to study even though oh my gosh and because I'm how continuing to study even though I'm extremely exhausted I am looking up what a chorion is because I don't know things like what a chorion is and learning about twinning and drinking Gatorade what I plan to do is do first aid you world review my neuro farm farm was so heavily tested really important to know every single little fact of every drug so I'm doing that and then I'm going to review my wet I don't know sheet because that really helps because so much of six exam was my new details that were in my white I don't know she's this is helping immensely and then I will go to sleep of course studying repro be like pictures of Olivia Wilde come up when you look of 5 alpha reductase deficiency hello everybody I am here at the School of Justice actually it's a School of Medicine and I am here because I have a meeting today at 9 to discuss research and I don't think that the people who are giving me this opportunity to know that my exam is next Tuesday because I really don't want you know it's let this opportunity pass by and let them think that I'm too busy for this so I'm here and I am just like I you know got my full eight hours and woke up and had coffee this morning when that was not my morning at all but yeah so I'm here and I'm going to do research or whatever with them and then the rest of the day will be spent studying and look how beautiful it is today you know I've never really appreciate blue skies as much as I have for the past few months of me being captured inside of apartment for days on end so I just received word that I will be not getting my cpsc score today or probably tomorrow weights that's because tomorrow's the last day that I can push back my chest I'm left here when I drop a lot of money I really don't want to push you back I kind of wanted to know where I was at least but I won't know that till it's too late so I'm just gonna go ahead and take you next Tuesday May 1st and yeah just pray that I was I'm good to go I got an 80 on this last 40 question test over everything so I feel pretty good about that and as you can see my progress since when I first started I was averaging around maybe 50 60 and I've been going up and up but lately I've just plateau it's I'm not getting any better at this so when I'm reviewing you world questions I look for why I got it wrong in my first aid book and then kind of make a note somewhere on the side of my book I mostly just focus on the one so they got wrong or the ones that they got right but on accident oh my goodness oh my god forever oh all right the answers are oh my goodness guys I just received word from Christian that the CBSE scores are out I haven't received it yet but um okay I think it goes alphabetical order oh my goodness I just got the email huh guys nothing guys so according to first-aid to be a surgeon which is so far what I want to do I need about a 232 to be I guess competitive for general surgery here was my test from I think about a month ago and I got a 64 which according to first aid a 64 is the equivalent of a 185 which is not passing so I had a lot of work to do but I'm happy to say that a month later I was able to get it up to an 85 on my CBSE which is the equivalent of a 237 and so now look look guys like it's all it's all over here it's very little is on the other side of the gray zone so that's really awesome I'm really happy about that I am kind of shafted that I was able to get so many of my bars to the right side which is so amazing to me because I worked so hard guys like I haven't slept more than six hours the past few days I've worked so freakin hard for this so um it's nice to know that it's paying off and I know like at 2:37 isn't like the world's best score but considering that I failed last month I'm really proud of myself so um so yes I have let's see Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday and Monday to go to study for it and I'm not gonna move my tests because I'm pretty happy with my score I think I can be a surgeon now so that's so exciting um can't wait to take it and get my official score and did you realize that this was all for something and I'm just really proud of myself oh my god guys I'm so freaking tired [Music] [Music] I literally feel like I spend every single day doing as much as I can as much as I can with minimal I don't go on the internet I don't want Facebook I can't go on YouTube I don't go on I may be a little Instagram here and then and I still don't have finished half of the things I want to do every day never good enough hey guys I've been camped out over here on my couch I have reached page 633 so since I'm doing 17 pages a day when I finish this I will be done I will be done with first day so this is my last day of first-aid reading which means I have completed all of this thoroughly annotated video watch for every single paragraph farm card for every single karma suitable drug flashcards for all the cancers yep it's still going your girl did all of this boom last day so let's go ahead and finish it off since I've had so much trouble going to sleep lately what I've been doing is bringing my work into bed right when I'm feeling like I want to go to sleep soon because nothing gets you going to sleep quite like doing the most miserable stuff I'm going to do all of the ethics questions on you world because I suck at ethics it was my lowest score as you can see alrighty guys wish me hello everybody so today is Saturday 5 o'clock in the morning I think I have almost regularized my sleeping code I don't know if you guys watched my video when I first started planning out how I was going to study and I said ok 8 weeks is a good amount of time because people tell me that any more than that and you're going to crack and you're going to get tired and you won't want to go on I've been feeling that so bad this past couple of days I wake up and I'm just like no no I don't want to do this anymore I cannot do this anymore and so it takes me like three hours to get out of bed now because that's how sad I am that this is still my life Sunday Monday and then I take my test and then just over I'm so nervous about taking a hour test I just feel like I'm gonna I see the first question and be like oh my god I don't know how to do this and start crying and go to the bathroom and throw up the best way to feel confident if I was something has to be prepared so I am just putting my all into these last few days I personally like to take it slow alrighty it's a party in my place I'm getting ready and setting things up so I have his gift I have his friends I have cheese cake I have some plates and some cups this is for me this is a banner for him and that's good chicken the birthday boy see

you can I'm about to use I don't really know how it is yet but it looks helpful so far alrighty guys it's 11:45 a.m. look how gross YZ pages are wow that is gross my last page included doing some respiratory farm and watching my last sketchy video so yes all of this is over with I'm not just going to put this into a Quizlet yeah that will be the end of that I am done with this food from my farm cards I basically just look at what the drug is called and put it put that on the front of the card and then on the back of the card I write down what it is what it does and it's adverse effects and I just do this until I have all of the drugs down a big part of me is terrified because my test is in two days and oh my gosh I'm just freaking out so bad because I just feel like I want to see the first question I'm like oh my gosh I don't know the answer I don't know anything and start crying one time when I wasn't oh I think 5th grade I cried during a like a state exam and couldn't finish my exam because I cried under pressure and I just scare that's gonna happen again I what I heard is that the exam my exam starts at 9:00 it's about eight or less hours you get an hour break and you can bring food and you get to bring medicine like like for your headache you have to get a 192 as of right now to pass step part of me is super scared about taking this exam was part of me so ready for that feeling when I submit that last question and I'm ready to go I cannot wait I cannot wait to walk out of that stupid test Center and be like yes it's over this is over I'm so ready okay guys so for the rest of my Sunday I'm going to review all of my flashcards one last time I'm also going to review my notes that I took in here where I kind of draw out some really important principles I thought but it's really important high-yield concept so I want to go ahead and just review this one last time wow this is a lot longer than I thought it was I am reviewing my autonomic drugs I want tomorrow to be kind of like a relaxed day so I'm doing a lot today I'm reviewing my pharmacology over half of it and shout out to my baby for being there for me this whole time he was born into medicine blinky baby decided to take my studying outside because I just get so sleepy so I'm just gonna continue this out with the greenery and the Sun and hopefully that will wake me up and give me some much-needed vitamin D Wow it worked really well I'm like wide awake now that's maybe what sunshine can do so I'm gonna give you guys a little gist of what I do basically I just see the card and I do I do all of this talking out loud because I feel like that just keeps me awake and again so let's see what is this this is a mature cystic teratoma dermoid cyst which is a type of I believe benign ovarian tumor where you get like teeth hair and just all three germ layer is inside of your ovary and you're at risk for torsion of the ovary and I believe it's in the younger crowd and I just kind of talk out loud and nobody and then I turn it around and I see how I did I did forget one thing there is a mono dermal form with firo tissue called the stroma oh very I I'm guessing that that is incredibly rare never happens but I have to learn about it so basically if I get it wrong I put it in the wrong pile this is the right pile and you'd be the cars I still have to go and I just keep doing the wrong pile to the gum right that's how I learned facts that like I can't there's no mnemonics and there's no sketchy for like a lot of the tumors and a lot of the tumor markers that stuff it just has to be flashcard and aside to brain okay guys so I am super tired so I am now in bed going to do a few world new world questions as much as I can do and then pass up because I know tired I had a very very long field study day so just gonna do some new world questions in bed try to do 40 that's my goal but who knows that's my night and I receive tomorrow morning okay guys today is the final day it is the day right before my test tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning so I have to make today count I'm going to stop studying at 6 p.m. because I want the rest of the night to be calming and you know not nerve-racking by the time I take the test in the morning on my board basically I'm gonna do as many you girls questions as I can to review all of my quiz let's skim through heme and bio stats in the first-aid book and honestly if I do those things and I will be happy and I tried my best and that's what I tell myself every day that I just tried my best do as well as I can tomorrow and just let this be over with and it is about seven o'clock in the morning so I have about eleven hours to do all of this stuff which is plenty of time to me okay guys you know I just can't just can't right now I can't look at you or I cannot look at nose I just can't so freakin tired of the time I think I've reached my breaking point day before my test just get so sleepy just even looking at it so I'm gonna go get a coffee at Starbucks treat myself to a big venti coffee try this again when I come back alright guys hope this helped so the good news is I actually feel a lot more awake Thank You coffee you come around every time so I'm going to start working on my you world questions by finally doing this I'm checking all of the boxes and I'm going to do the max allowed per block and I'm gonna do this as many times as I can until about noon and then I have to start reviewing the sections for birthdays and then after that I have to review my farm and then six I'm calling it a night and I might go to dinner with my sweet good crazy I'm so excited now I just you know wanted to be over so badly alright alright 40 questions down as you can see I may have not done the best a few of these that were stupid mistakes like I always mix up what a maxilla and a mandible are I keep thinking this is the maxilla oh I always get pH confused I keep thinking that acidic will raise your pH but no it's the other way around it raises your H concentration anyway it's bad enough that they test you over everything even these stupid little details you don't know but it's worse when you miss questions that you know but you just get a detail wrong or switch it up in your head Oh some confusing really quick just go through why I got some questions wrong I have to move fast and do another 40 questions okay so I'm done reviewing I'm just rewatching some pertinent sketchy videos and eating some Fritos and then I will do another 40 question alrighty let's try this again and this time I'm gonna try my absolute hardest timing any more stupid mistakes well I just got a question or the sketchy video that I just watched that I probably would not have gone awry wasn't for watching that soyeah but not gotta go back to this test because the time is running all right so as you can see I did not feel very good about this test so let's go ahead and see how I did oh yeah okay so that's another 40 questions how might I take a break I'm surely nervous about tomorrow because I have to keep my attention span on for about eight hours so this is gonna be tough okay guys so I am done reviewing and doing my questions I did 80 and it took me a long long time these are my final you world stat keep in mind that I redid my 40 that probably inflated my score 81st percentile I was 76 percent correct and I did 54 percent of the questions you world stats are kind of you don't really know how to interpret them because some people do it on time some people do them random some people do subject by so take some people go back and you do the question and say if they missed I don't really put too much thought into my stats on your world I think that they're pretty good not that I'm really sure what they mean for tomorrow all I know is that I did my CBSE and I think I'm very happy with that grade so if I were to get that tomorrow I'd be very happy you world is really just practiced so just look at it as that all right we are back outside must be huge annoys and gloom whether not to mention our table covered and way too much bird poop humble beginnings everyone oh I have my vocab you can see there these are all my tabs I have a repro flashcard this is respiratory renal psych narrow msk GI endo and cardio so how many cards okay so I have reviewed my sections that I need to review in first aid and I have gone through all of my farm and I see it is 616 so that is it I am done studying for the day and I'm going to spend the rest of the day having a much-needed relaxation I'm closing it my laptop my first aid book is done and it is over my flashcards over for clothes I'm going with my long sleeve medicine shirt and some black sweats so I'm super comfortable and warm and of course you need a jacket so I'm bringing my super comfortable North Face purple jacket and by the way we are done I'm gonna go ahead and clean my apartment because it's actually pretty gross right now and I would like to come home to a good apartment I also won't be needing them they use it anymore and they will be going into the popul these are my spiral notes and I don't need my flashcards anymore either I have this pretty unused USMLE step 2018 if anybody wants it don't forget to bring your USMLE cuddling permit oh my goodness guys can we just take one last look at this first aid book it has seen better days just look it's so worn down gross pretty much every single page is annotated written on hated and then we have these super just ratchet tabs that like I pulled on so that I can find the page and every time I do I rip off the color you can't even tell what you stand for anymore my stupid little book mark torn and bent at all the edges and then like I used the first pages for a note to do like the calculation based questions yes this book was much loved very used very appreciated and it got me through the time it means so much to me so I'm gonna just keep this forever and just remember all the good times that we had for two months already apartment is clean dishes are done vacuumed all of that jazz no only thing left to do is to figure out food for tomorrow so I really would like what I had last time I'm gonna bring some Gatorades some raspberries and then for my meal I'm deciding between a few h-e-b ready cook meals something hearty that will keep you can get I'm filming that anything Hardy and h-e-b has nice little already cooked meals raspberry and my cereal will be some cocoa pebbles and some milk and I'm going to go to Christians have to bring my own milk as health not Christian doesn't you know drink milk or eat cocoa pebbles so this is all just gonna go into bag and Christian will be taking me to my exam tomorrow to that I just don't have to worry driving or anything so yay all righty bye apartment I bid thee farewell and I will see you when all of this is over her case it is um I think 8 o'clock I'm at Karen's place laying

really pushing the limits of human ability and not only that guys but looking at little words for eight hours really stretch your eyes so you got to the point where my eyes were where I was getting diplopia in the pendant into my test and I ended up taking a 10-minute break after every sets of 40 questions and that worked out great for me and yeah I was super hard and I'm so glad that's over and I'm never ever ever going to look at that stupid up again till I get into clinicals I'm officially in home and my apartments now and I'm going to take a much-needed nap and go to sleep so goodnight
