I am on cloud nine!!!
When i took the exam i thought that i will fail. It seemed really difficult to me I am shocked.

Ok what did I do?

I studied the blueprints and I studied the kap notes preventive.
I did the videos and highlights CD.
I did two weeks of the kaptest.
I also did the Q book for step 2. That's all she wrote!!.

If anyone wants the videos let me know.

Good luck to everyone!

Navin, What was your real score 99 or 98?
You posted 249/98 and then you corrected 249/99...

 

[windsurfr]

Navinpatel,
Very bad idea to give specific questions from the test. I would not be suprised if you got a jingle from the NBME guys.....

Did you not hear about last year's troubles?????

 

[bigfrank]

And he used a "real" name. That's ballsy.

 

[navinpatel]

Yeah I think that guys name who nbme went after was from harvard named michael crichton, but I think he is now being creative and using his remembered exam experience in making the hit TV series ER. NBME is still after him for the last episode....

Guys one thing you should remember dont be afraid to play the field and stand up up to you rights for free speech. Hey if I get nailed, Im sure I will write a book,sell the rights, or end up on 20/20 or 60 minutes and retire early.

Don't you thing we should be going after CSA for charging 1'200.00 for a 1 day exam.

Watching a little too much Michael Moore, huh?
