Hey guys, as mentioned I have a bit of a problem - my school in all its wisdom used the wrong stamp for my validation and my application got rejected, I have since sorted this out but it has left me with a months delay in taking the exam AND my rotations are starting tomorrow. Its a bit of a body blow as I am consistently scoring well on UW and starting to shore up my weak areas.

So I was wondering what is the best way to study whilst on rotations an sort of 'simmer' so that I keep all the info fresh until the exam?

I realize that this is not a situation 99.5% of applicants find themselves in but any advice on keeping the details fresh would be useful thanks 🙂

Yuck. Does your school allow you to do research or light electives (eg. rads) during 3rd year?

I'll be on my psych rotation, stuff that I had memorized such as micro virulence factors are slowly ebbing away from my brain. I'm toying with the idea of maybe USMLErx as I've almost finished UW, and then concentrate on memorizing more and more detail closer to the time?

sorry to hear this. is there anyway you can get some time to spend studying full-time? as mentioned, some schools let you move around rotations/vacation/research time. i really do believe this test needs a chunk of hardcore studying and being on rotations (even if you think it wont be a tough rotation) is mental/physical fatigue. how much longer until your exam?
