Ugh, I haven't been this frustrated in a long time. My verbal score went to a 6... I really don't get why this is happening. I seemed to understand what was going on, but I'm just screwing up so much now. Maybe I'm burning out. I'll take a look at the test later. I need to release some frustration somehow.

You lost your mojo. I'd just chalk it up to a fluke. Hang in there! 🙂

Thanks, I hope you're right. Apparently I did take the hardest practice test, so maybe that had something to do with it. It's just annoying cause I can never seem to do well on verbal and I legitimately thought I was doing well/I knew what I was doing. Time to figure out a new plan of action.

Maybe you need a little break or are overthinking things. If it was the hardest test, I wouldn't worry about it. 🙂

You know, you're probably right. My parents have told me that I've been really tense lately, and I had this bad headache yesterday for no odd reason. Maybe I should take it easy for a day or 2.

It's probably time to take a break. Which exam did you get a 6 on?

That happens to me all the time with EK101. I think I got the right answer, but sometimes the answer choices can be vague. I usually narrow it down to 2 and go with the one I feel confident about, but it doesn't always workout and the explanations don't help that much either.

I was taking a FL. TPR test 8. I've been getting around a 7/8 on EK and I've only taken two tests so far. I will probably review this test later tonight after a nap, but I need to start doing some more EK practice. And I have to practice the right way too.

Now that I think about it, I really do think I need a break. Last night, I ended up breaking a glass over my hand. If I'm that absent minded when I'm not taking a test, then I probably won't deliver when i have to take the test.

Seems like too much studying. Would be good to take a break. I hear the TPR tests are harder than AAMC, so you should try taking some aamc fls, but first you should take a break for a day or two before you burn out.

That's what I was getting on the EK tests at first. Do take a break, even if it is just for a day. I think that we are all hard workers and don't always realize that a day off can do wonders. :luck:
 
I brought the TPR Verbal Reasoning book with me to work today. I haven't even cracked it open, since I've been pretty busy with the social issues of the day in the old ER. 😳

you are going at this way to hard. your brain needs to rest for it to be able to contain more information. and remember that EK is generally hard, the writers themselves acknowledged that fact. i usually add like 2 points to my EK score to gauge where i'm at. so if your scoring 8's, on aamc you might be scoring 10's. good luck and don'd burn out.
 
Anyone ever heard of or done the Tough Mudder before? I just did one this morning. It was a good time, and we got team mohawks last night...I kinda like the look haha.
 
I've never heard of that show. That's what I get for not having cable. You could always just come shadow me in the ER. You'll have lots of fun and see the real dealio. 😉

Studying 😀 I can concentrate better at night. I was studying in the afternoon today and it was sooo hot and I couldn't concentrate. I like the darkness 🙂

That's pretty sweet! I'm looking forward to see improvements when I start aamc 😛
 
I watched like 2 episodes of Boston Med on hulu and it's pretty great 😍 I'm thinking of renting Hopkins. Can't find it anywhere online :shrug:

lol oh yea? dually noted, will do.🙄

the show is slightly out dated but can be very interesting. For some reason they play marathons of the show only on days I have to study the most for a test.

Not that it matters but I wonder if any of the EM or Surgery residents that have been featured on that show are actually active posters on SDN

Yesterday's temperature broke the previous record (which was set in 1957). Do you have AC?
 
Studyshy how's the progress on making balloon animals? Can you make anything besides a snake? 😛

Yeah, thankfully I do or else I would melt...Crazy how hot it's been the past couple of days.
 
We made it through the worst. From now on it looks like a modest 90 😛

Would you say the island you live on in NY is long?
