Freaking out

[Woot!]

Members don't see this ad.

I am taking the comlex in 24 days, and I know I havent review properly due to taking kaplans live lecture for the last month. I still need to go through that darn green OMT book as well.

On combank I get 38 percents, and the Kaplan final I also got about 40ish percent.

At this point Im pretty demoralized to say the least, as combank says I need to be at 62 percent to pass.

What a nightmare.

just keep at it.


the savarese OMM book is a really good review and it should only take you 1-2 days to go through it.


good luck 🙂

I dont know at this point... Im supposed to be at 62 percent according to combank.

If I were in your position I would be freaking out too. I'm not going to be like everyone else and say don't worry. If I were you I would talk to someone at your school, maybe one of the deans. Tell them that you don't feel ready to take it, the last thing they want is for one their students to fail the boards. They will most likely try and help you. I have to say that people that I know that have failed the boards walked into it not feeling prepared. You want to walk in there feeling like you did enough to at least pass. Maybe your school can give you a couple of months off to prep some more, and maybe they might even be able to help you come up with some sort of plan. Be positive, and do what you think will help you succeed. :O)

>3weeks can still be a ton of time, especially if you haven't done savarese yet. The OMT will be easy and worth a decent amount. I wold go through that, and see if things don't get better. Also, are there certain areas that are bad? I hear you. I didn't get the combank, but I got USMLE world which kicks my ass.

Blargh.
Everyone says that Savarese only takes two days which is good because that is how many days I have, but is bad because this is zero fun to try and do. The whole point of my trying to review and study through the year in small pieces was to avoid cramming and yet here I am on the couch with a sweat and there is my roommate in his room trying to avoid the pacing neuroticism that is me.

I'm not freaking out, but neither am I pleasant to be around for the moment. I would not recommend my current state, perhaps you should at least look at Savarese before the crunch. A passing glance.

just know the high yield saverese. all the trigger points, chapmans, visc-somatics, and the tests (adsons etc.)
And 3 weeks you can get your score up alot. and a 62 on combank is to pass with a very very high probability. doesn't mean youre going to fail if you dont hit that mark...

How does the 2nd edition of First Aid for Comlex compare to Sevarese? I have the 2nd edition ... do I really need to purchase Sevarese?
