I have been studying HARDHARDHARD for 2 weeks. Long days of World questions and long nights of Secrets. I only had 2 1/2 weeks total to study for the test, so i didn't really have time for any other texts. It just seems I get more out of the Q&A format of Secrets than FA, hope I'm not making a mistake there. Anyway, my question is, I started out at about 55%-62%. Now, 2 weeks later, and about 66% of the way through World, I'm still doing between 55 to 62%, up and down.🙁
I've been doing the questions during the day, then studying the text at night that corresponds to those questions.
I noticed that when I read the text first, then do the World questions, my score jumps up DRAMATICALLY, like 75 to 80%! It makes sense, b/c I JUST studied it that morn, so is that an accurate representation, or am I cheating myself?
PLEASE REPLY FAST, somebody, b/c my time is RUNNING OUT FAST and I don't want to waste my remaining World questions if it w
won't do me any good like that. Boy, I wish I had another 2 weeks!
CAn't help but notice that most posters are doing random questions, wish I had noticed that earlier. Anybody else do the usworld by subject? What was I thinking???????????
 
Easy now...I did only UW by subjects I studied that morning as well...I'd recommend spending the last day or 2 reviewing everything (read FA start to finish) and doing random questions at night...
 
Miss Nevada, Oh, that's great! I read your post that you did SO WELL. Btw, congratulations! I also saw where you studied 5-6 weeks. I only had 2 1/2 weeks, but REALLY INTENSE. Do you remember what your US World scores were running a week before the test?

I stayed in the high 60%'s and only got a little higher towards the end...I wouldn't worry so much about ur UW scores. focus on learning as much as you can from teh questions...who cares if you get them wrong as long as you get it right on the real exam...my 5-6 weeks really weren't that intense, so if you working hard for 2-3 weeks you will do great!

good luck

Take a deep breath and relax. Study however you want. Don't try to over analyze studying for step II. It's not really going to affect your life much in the long run. Go in there confident and calm.
