I hv done microbiology from first aid n decks once.n for patho I studied frm first aid n decks.I used usmle first aid for some mnemonics.
 
Hi friends, how's it going with you? I am freaking out.. seeing the huge pile of decks and papers.. i am like..will i be able to do it?

and Goyal, dnt worry abt different sources, study from whrever u feel comfortable..every book has some differences, so look for what goes well with u.. i have kaplan dentessentials too..but i like first aid way better..so i m doing first aid, decks and papers.. occasional glimpse here n there to kaplan review book.
 
hey

dr37

ya u r rite, i shud stick to one source....giving two more days to path, n thn i cnnt take mre of pathology...
 
I agree with dr 37.every book has same stuff presented in a different way.guys,I'm doing anatomy.it seems that I hv forgotten everything about micropatho n biochem.dental anatomy is the only thing i retain. reading anatomy frm first aid for the first time.I hv done it b4 frm decks n netters.any suggestions for anatomy preparation?
 
i read anatomy long time back..did frm kaplan lecture notes and decks....its vast..keep revising....:)
 
Remembering Anatomy :eek:
Hmm i did from First Aid and will do decks too in few days..presently doing Micro/Path.. I feel the more u are able to revis the better it is..
 
n wat about the first aid chapters of general histology n developmental biology.these r important or not?

i try to study for more hours...but then i would say my output is worth 6...7 hours only...coz i compare my output not to study hours, but the amount i have done....i do get restless in between and i just want to take a break then!!! i am doing da now...still have 50 decks from micro...might do them tonight......
 
hey all

even im revising theory ..but havnt completed the asda even once, ppl do them twice...
4 mre weeks to go..lets day 30 more days..sounds much better.

me too doin DA..although im reading da fr the 2nd time, im still lost..will be doing few asda papers nw, and will start doing micro frm today dailt fr about 60-90 minutes.

good luck to all!
 
i am doing patho decks, its going damn slow is there anyone else
in the same boat
not yet.......but i might start patho or physio tommorow.......didnt have the desired output today and i dont know if i would be able to do much tommorow....as i intend to go out for my first wedding anniv....:love: :) but i do want to squeeze in as many hours as i can tommorow....

HI!! i M APPEARING IN SEP.. I WNNA KNOW WHICH SUBJECT IS GOOD IN NBDE FIRST AID?? IS PATHO GOOD IN IT? AS i HAVE READ IT FROM DECKS ONLY...AND DA IS GOOD IN FIRST AID??
 
hi,
NBDE first aid is good for Anatomy, histology.You need not to refer anthing except Netter's when u r doing First Aid.But DADH is not good.Do decks, Okeson and Kaplan NBDE review book for DADH.
Pathology-they have covered all the major points in First aid , but it is very hard for u to remeber if u just read first aid.You shuld know the disaese process and underlying concept.So if u have time do decks and look in the wikipedia and Kaplan review for explanation.

This is my opinion.That's what I have figured out in my first reading.Hope this helps....
