EDIT: and pictures are taking 15-20 seconds to load. Hope they fix the speed issue.
= me
i think i must have been given the slowness that was once distributed amongst us all evenly because i can literally sit here for 10 minutes and wait for anything on GT to load. to make matters worse, quizzes will only load ~10 questions at a time; after 10 questions, clicking to go to the next question brings a blank screen and i have to end the quiz & restart. which takes eons. EONS.

How soon is "soon"
On a positive note, has everyone notices all the amazing images from Lippincott and other web sources? There's pictures linked to all the review questions too. Some of them are actually pretty decent (saw a great overview for direct coombs test and some good histo slides).
The anatomy section is also pretty decent.
Hopefully we'll see the trend continue and maybe eventually audio and video tools.
Just wanted to say keep up the good work!
Has anyone heard of people doing well (230+) on the step after using gunner+UW+pathoma etc...???
http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showpost.php?p=11108903&postcount=1370On the 2011 USMLE step 1 experience thread Encephalectomy reported getting a 270http://forums.studentdoctor.net/member.php?u=324698. I would look up what was written by him. The date of the post is 6/11/11. That post is one of the reasons I seriously looked into gunnertraining. I copied and pasted part of what he wrote about his study plan regarding GT. I am a first year, and have already been seeing the benefit of GT in my classes and studying.
"Gunnertraining: Awesome, awesome, awesome. This was a huge part of my success on this exam. It hammers an incredible amount of stuff into your brain and made me a rockstar all year in classes and small groups and payed off big time for board studying. First aid is great, but I would not really have been able to memorize it, but gunnertraining has most of first aid plus a lot of the best tidbits of goljan and other good stuff. If you are finishing up first year and have a goal of a very hight step1 score I would start it now, bank all of the first year stuff over the summer, bank the rest along with classes, but double up at the end of the year so that you have gt fully banked by at least 1 month before your dedicated study period-that way you will be able to keep doing your gt questions, but it will be down to a more manageable 100 or so qs a day."

This is probably a dumb question but what do you guys mean by "banking" the GT stuff?
banking, I believe just means you've reviewed the cards.
Each card has some questions associated with it. When you add those questions to your review schedule, you have banked that card and will see those questions regularly in the daily reviews.
Is it better to use the lite mode or the comprehensive mode for use during breaks, like summer break?
i don't think lite mode is useful. if you stop banking cards, the questions per day will decrease over breaks
on a separate note, does anyone load their review questions and then have a totally BLANK one that ends the whole session because it is totally BLANK and the only option is to "end review session"
i thought i wasn't waiting long enough for the servers to load...i thought it was the number of cards...i basically thought it was me.
i don't think so.
i was hoping to do a fully review of all my banked questions. sigh. so. so. frustrating.
i am still waiting to hear back from GT. i kept hoping all last week it was just a glitch in *my* questions. now i'm not so sure. i am wondering - am i the only person this is happening to?
Yes same thing happens to me. I don't understand why they cannot have decent servers for a WEB BASED PRODUCT?
I know GT reads these forums so hopefully they will fix their product
Just click end review when you get to a blank page and then finish the rest of the questions.
around 38% banked so I get 150-200Q/day but I not marking any questions as a 4 yet, all 3 or below.
39 & 20.so you haven't "mastered" much? Man, you are the ultimate gunner
i have 32% banked and 22% mastered.
You need coursework, Goljan, Robbins, whatever if you are to use GT properly.150-200 Q's a day? What is that, like 2 hours a day...
How do you do 2nd year coursework with 200 Q's a day?
Are you also planning on using Uworld, Goljan, etc. + coursework + GT?
trying to get through 350 questions this morning but quiz keeps freezing after 10 questions
sigh.
Apparently they're upgrading servers this afternoon so let's hope things finally get back to normal.
If I'm understanding correctly, 100% banked is 3 hours of questions everyday.
Seems like that would be too much with Uworld goljan FA.
