I'm pretty sick of putting this exam off over and over again, wasting my life away studying for something that I'm not even going to take. This will be like the 3rd time I've delayed (but the first time I actually already paid), but there is a good chance I am going to cancel my registration for September 9th.
I've already taken the aamc sample and a couple of the next step exams, and I've done fine on them, but last semester, I had some personal health issues, and I'm still experiencing effects from the medications. I've decided to try and get off of them because of the effects, but I think it's set me back to the point where I should postpone my exam.
Not really sure what I will do about it because I'm now working full time, and I'm not sure how I should approach restudying/retaking exams when the time comes again for me to test.
How would I keep the information fresh over multiple months without rereading my study books? I don't like the idea of passively studying with the few hours I will have free everyday, but it looks like that is what may happen.
I have anki cards, but they are pretty useless/poorly made
EDIT: I haven't fully committed to this. I think I did fairly okay on my practice exams so far, and it pains me to think that I will lose that advantage by delaying. I'm just going to stop with my meds today and see how I feel over the next few days, then maybe I'll try and cram stuff and take the exam on September 9th. I have to get thorugh the section bank and the 2 aamc exams, and hopefully the aamc flashcards, the official guide, and maybe even 1 or 2 more NS exams
