The day is getting closer and closer, and just like a knee with damaged ligaments, the confidence gives way more and more frequently. Is it humanly possible to memorize all this information on a part time revision schedule? More personally, do I have the energy and intelligence to get the top mark? Positive thinking and motivational quotations tell one to think positive, 'you are the best', 'you can do this' and so on, but do they change the reality or do they just make one delusional about own abilities?
Studying part time for Step 1 is tough. The whole concept of personal life does not exist, revision takes over the world for the 9 weeks in the run up to the exams. Everything becomes about time management and time efficiency. All of a sudden other previously insignificant time wasters become magnified to gigantic parameters. Tutorial running at a slower pace, a patient late for the clinic, people walking slowly and blocking the pavement, train delays... all of these things suddenly become an unacceptable hinderance to one's day.
Th big question is: are all the very best efforts enough?
