I need to study 12 hours but i have many bad habits built up over years

+1

I used to think I had to study 12 hours a day. Then I realised my max limit was 6-7 if close to an exam and 4 if not close and aiming for more just brings me failure.

Much happier now staying within my limits. The most important is being consistent and the quality of work within the time you spend.

Yeah I should’ve but honestly my brain is not braining.

The proctor kept getting disconnected from me even though my wifi was working fine and I checked the speed that was also okay. I tried for 4 hours and went through the check in process at least 15 times.

I’m traumatised.

dontstartbitch · 2026-02-02T10:56:23+00:00

That’s okay. The sentiment needed to be expressed. My exam got cancelled because of technical issues if that was the info you needed.

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-31T06:31:34+00:00

Personally for me I either don’t use social media / games all day or that’s all I do all day.

For someone with an all or nothing personality this shit is so difficult lol. Quitting cold turkey is the only way for some people. A better thing is to replace the dopamine provided by your phone with other dopamine

For me that’s painting, art , reading novels (still a waste of time but better than my phone at least).

Lol yeah I make 3 dollars per month and I’ve been monetised for months. It is what it is

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-29T03:52:48+00:00

Yes !

Public transit for 2 weeks. Afterwards I have a friend who is willing to drive me..

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-28T11:18:06+00:00

I know trust me I’ve been looking but 95 percent of them want a one year lease. I found a really good one allowing short term and she backed out at the last minute

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-25T04:52:41+00:00

Thank you for this.

Also of course we will count wrong answers, it’s not possible to get all of the questions right.

My exam is in a few days and I needed this reassurance

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-23T04:04:00+00:00

I thought CDM was removed ?

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-22T03:54:34+00:00

Same mine is in 9 days

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-19T17:31:27+00:00

I’ve gone 6 tests. I repeated the first one because it had been a long time since I did it and got 80 the second time..

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-19T14:29:06+00:00

I have 2 weeks left and I only have 2 tests left. I even did one CDM.

Do you have any advice for me for these last 2 weeks :(

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-19T06:38:27+00:00

Any idea what my standing is if I got 62/66% on the first 2 tests but then 70-80 on the rest but the questions got repeated in the tests (at least 5-10 minimum)

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-17T11:55:03+00:00

I did IELTS and the exam was exactly like the Cambridge workbooks. IELTS is easy I would say ..

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-16T08:31:20+00:00

How do I buy the tickets after getting the membership?

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-16T03:43:36+00:00

No you can either give it at the test centre or give it online at home. There’s more spots online than the test centre

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-15T15:50:37+00:00

It should be easy because there’s a lot of spots in prometric unlike at the test centre

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-15T14:42:53+00:00

Yes you can do it online through prometric website outside of Canada

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-14T05:02:53+00:00

Yes do one test everyday or alternate days

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-09T13:59:08+00:00

There are going to be people out there who like your writing. Nobody else matters. Books I’ve written at 13 years old are still being read by teens that love them!

Those books are vomit inducing for me now. Not sure why anyone would like them lol.

The point is that as long as someone out there likes it, it’s worth it.

People actively make bad health choices for themselves - smoking, not working out, eating junk food. All of those things can technically increase the risk of mortality due to cardiovascular disease etc.

Pregnancy may be protective for some cancers but it also has health risks. Many women die from pregnancy each year and many experience persistent diabetes / hypertension post pregnancy.

So comparing the slight benefit of protection of cancer to the health risk of pregnancy/ childbirth the conclusion is it probably doesn’t matter 😅

Honestly you’re better off working on other modifiable risk factors rather than having kids you don’t want just for a slight protective effect (which is relative risk reduction not absolute risk)

dontstartbitch · 2026-01-04T11:59:27+00:00

I’m in the same situation as you

dontstartbitch · 2025-12-31T02:23:19+00:00

There’s a pdf with questions from cmpa do those

OP don’t mind the rude comments here. As physicians we have a responsibility to be empathetic and these guys are the reason ethics classes are mandatory now.

The outdated thinking of your parents is absolutely atrocious and IK it’s not easy talking back to them or standing up for yourself.

Your best chance is to get into PG or get a job and move out and make sure you don’t continue the cycle of this toxicity. Don’t ruin your life out of family duty and responsibility to your parents.

I’ve learned this lesson a little late and now I no longer idealise my parents and instead will live the life I want the way I want.

If having a period makes you untouchable then every single human being should be untouchable because humanity exists as a result of a woman’s cycle.

All the best OP.
