I'm registered, 8am. Will be on the 4 month S2N study plan, all materials in hand. This is a retake for me.
Good luck all.

Thank you for posting this; I constantly feel like I'm lagging behind. I have finished Organic Chemistry review, and almost done with Biology, but haven't even touched Gen Chemistry and Physics yet.Great!, Welcome!
We are about 70 days from the test. Last week I found out that my friend started his kaplan course (1/10~3/27) for his 3/24 test.
I want to tell you guys...especially those of you who think you are behind schedule for starting now or really getting into the study now, we aren't! we can definitely finish this!
MLK free day for some of you guys, use it efficiently!

I will be done with Organic, Physics, and General Chemistry TPR Science Workbook, TBR Phase I, and EK 1001 by the end of the month. Coming right along...
And then it will Phase II of one chapter everyday until early March; 8 FL in February; AAMC in March.
I will be doing Biology in the first ten days of February...
Let's get rolling!!!
This might seem silly but what do you mean phase II of Tbr? I tried looking for it online and I'm still confused.
It's almost 2 months already...?Hey everybody, I'm taking it March 24th too. This is kinda how I'm feeling right now.

How are you guys managing the time to study?
Are you me? I'll be done with Orgo, Physics, and Gen. Chem TBR Phase I, Phase II, and EK 1001 by the end of the month. I'll also have the reading for EK Bio complete but, no problems (I decided to delay the TBR Bio problems because they seemed to treat the material holistically and as such, I won't be doing it until the end of my content review). I then plan on taking AAMC 3 just to see where I'm at. After AAMC 3, I'll finish the TPR Science Workbook and TBR Biology over 2 weeks and then do 6 weeks of Kaplan + AAMC FLs + TBR Phase III leading up to the exam.
I'm currently on Chapter 6 of the TBR books so I'm about a week behind my intended schedule =(.
Wasted my entire day today...ugh
Finished all EK content and took AAMC #3 FL... scored 28
Should I be discouraged?!?!!?!?!?
I really want 32+ is that going to be POSSIBLE??!?!?!!?
AHHH!!! So I registered for this beast about 2 months ago. I began Sn2ed's schedule on the last week of December and I was following it perfectly and then....New Years Eve happened. I took a scheduled break on that weekend and I've been behind ever since. Like I just could NOT study at all. And then every time I tried to open my book, I'd get distracted by silly house errands, or going to the hospital for checkups, or cleaning up after my mischievous cat, etc. I also spent 2 entire days watching an anime series straight (no sleep!). I just don't know what to do now...
I open my books and I feel so discouraged. I literally wasted 24 days. Who does that?!!! I definitely can't follow Sn2ed's schedule now. Any suggestions?
I felt exactly the same a week ago.. I was so far behind the schedule. However, I realized that some of the chapters (3/ 4) of BR are relatively short so I can usually do 2 chapters a day.... I have decided to read 2 chapters a day until I get on schedule.. maybe you could try the same and see how it goes...
Also, I read somewhere that the Sn2ed's schedule is 80 days without breaks so you might not be that far behind!

Just a casual observer who has taken the test already and did relatively ok without a structured schedule. It's all about practice tests guys, if you fall behind in content don't get worried becuase you will cover what you missed in the test review. If I was gunna retake it I would seriously only do practice tests and review my mistakes. Good luck to everyone! Remember that your mindset can either be your best friend or worst enemy!
How's everyone doing?
about 60 days until test! (~58 days to be ecaxt)
I've seen some light in my weakest subject Verbal, am pushing hard to do constant practice + detailed review.
My physical science review has been inefficient, I'll probably spend 3~4 more days just to polish perfect content review and start doing FL!
Gluck everyone, Let's finish this at once!!!! never again!!!
Thanks for the reply and congratulations on the MD! Its just so boring to study alone. To do better in physics and i made arrangements to attend those classes and at the same time do the practice questions for TPR and EK workbook. I hope this will make a difference in my score.No one needs four months to study for any test ever. Take it from someone who is about to graduate with an MD. Take a few weeks, hit it hard for 12+ hours a day and do tons of practice questions. This will do two things. It will keep you from getting burnt out over that long period of time and it will keep you from forgetting so much from the beginning. You need to get used to this anyway; it is how you will study for USMLE Step exams. Again no more than 6 weeks no matter what. Questions questions questions

I'm from PR also i have found that chad's videos help me a lot to bring all the concepts together and also got TBR i know understand chemistry

Hows study going everyone? Has anyone started FLs yet???

i'm taking this &^%^& test again in march. I've done review (postponed the january test because my practice exams aren't up to par), and am working on fls.
I'm aware of the following fls online: 8 aamc, 10 gold standard. Do any of you know of other online fls? Are they accurate (relatively close to the real thing)?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
I'm still far from doing FLs. Ugh. At this rate, I may have to postpone.
Don't feel bad. I'm in the same situation debating whether to postpone or not. At this time, I'm still planning on taking it on March 24th. We'll see though. Good luck to you
