I'm an IMG taking the exam in September, 3 months to go and I'm already burnt out,Started prep end of March. Almost done with Kaplan Lecture notes, just have Anatomy to do and I just can't focus. I'm studying less and less everyday. Motivation anybody?

How do you motivate yourself? Plus I'm getting only around 70-75% on UWorld, which obviously isn't helping. Considering I'm an IMG I'm aiming for 250.

Anyone in the same position?

You have looads of time. Take a day (or 2) off to do somethings that you've put off. Like working out, going to the movies, watching episodes of your favorite show, visiting family/friends. Once you clear your mind, you'll be focused AND you'll also get a new sense of urgency that'll refocus you back to studying.

Kaplan Anatomy is pretty boring. You're going to have to push through it!!
