Magandang araw po sa mga kapwa ko pong medical students. Alam ko po na ang subreddit na ito ay madalas na ginagamit lamang para sa mga academic concerns o advice ukol sa medicine. Ngunit hindi ko na po matiis na manahimik pa. In light ng issue ng Cornell 7 kung saan nananahimik at binibigyan proteksyon ng isang kolehiyo ang mga sexual predators, sa Pilipinas naman ay may nababalitaan akong medical school na hinayaan magenroll ang isang sexual predator dahil lamang kakilala ng mga doktor ang mga magulang niya. Papaano ninyo po natitiis na hayaan ang mga estudyante na matuto sa presensya ng isang tao na maari silang hamakin. Hindi po ako maglalatag ng pangalan ngunit kung nais niyo po tumulong na magraise po ng awareness tungkol dito ay maari po kayo maginteract o magcomment po ng inyong mga nalalaman na detalye o karanasan.

Should I still continue with Day 3 and 4? Estimate ko nasa 15–20 na siguro per subject yung mali ko, plus wala pa dun yung mga hinulaan ko 😕 I just really need to ask for your opinion kasi I can barely focus right now and struggling na ako magaral 🙁

Ako lang ba? Ayaw ko pa sumuko and I’m still trying to read or review feeling ko lalabas… while everyone was disheartened sa previous performance.. ako rin naman pero parang mas problema ko is yung “pagod” na hindi nawawala hanggang ngayon.

I rested na! Supposedly dapat naka-two subjs na ako pero 1 palang nagagalaw ko and ang bagal pa kasi nga “pagod na pagod” na ata ako.

Nawalan na ako ng gana and hope pero I’m still going to take… maybe if it’s really for me, konti man maaral ko this week… maybe ibibigay pa rin nya.

legit ba yung mpl? and gano kaya kalaki ang naaadjust dun, like around ilang %? HUHUHUHU grabe ang 1st shift

To those who passed the PLE, meron ba kayong gut feel na papasa kayo?

Honestly, di ko alam kung di ko lang talaga napprocess pa properly pero after 1st weekend, guminhawa lang pakiramdam ko. Parang nabunutan ako ng tinik kahit ang dami kong di sure sa mga sagot dahil parang MPL 1 lahat. Didn't even bother to open the forum or magcheck ng answers kasi ayoko ma-dishearten lang til next week haha.

Di ko sure kung ito na ba yung "believe in yourself" moment ko at faith, or sobrang numb na lang talaga.

Anyway, laban ulit mga doc. Ika nga nila'y it ain't over 'til it's over.

Malapit na akong hindi magshow up sa Day 3 at Day 4 ng PLE… Sobrang bigat na ng pagod at takot, lalo na kapag iniisip ko kung sapat ba lahat ng pinag-aralan ko. Pero kahapon, sa EMD Surgery Final Coaching ni Doc Rob, kahit papaano bumalik ’yung loob kong lumaban. Ang dami niyang questions at topics na halos kapareho ng mga na-encounter namin noong Day 1 at Day 2. Doc, parang masama na po ang pakiramdam ninyo habang nagtuturo, pero tuloy pa rin kayo para matapos natin ang lecture. Hindi n’yo po siguro alam kung gaano kalaking bagay ’yon sa aming ubos na rin ang lakas at tiwala sa sarili. Salamat po sa dedication at sa high-yield lectures mula pa noon. Pumasok akong naghahanap ng mga huling mairereview; natapos akong may lakas ng loob na sumubok ulit. Salamat po, Doc. Lalaban ulit kami sa Day 3 at Day 4.

Hello! As the title suggests, which would you recommend: staying with ChatGPT Go, or Plus?

For context, I have been using ChatGPT Go for 3 months now for my studying, practice quizzes and a lot kore bsta school related, and it’s been okay. Now, I found out na meron palang free trial si ChatGPT Plus for 1 month so I grabbed the opportunity right away sa isa ko pang account and I found it really nice din.

To be honest, same lang siya and I like the memory din, like satisfied naman ako. But I just wanna ask your opinion/experiences na would you recommend Go or Plus?

It’d really be of big help talaga, sana masagot nyo. Thank you so much! 🌷

Hello. Im an RN since 2017, i have 5 yrs total working experience pero I got married and gave birth kaya tambay until now. Gusto ko sana mag proceed sa medicine kaso wala pa ako NMAT. Tingin nyo ba kaya ko? Is it not too late? Yong mga doctors na jan give advice naman. Kung sa tingin nyo worth it ba mag proceed ako or wag nalng. Baka kasi magsisi ako someday bat ako nag proceed like no time sa family ganon. Thank you sa maka sasagot.

Since the 1st week of PLE being done. Thinking back, i cant remember any question I answered right even concepts I should normally know. And Im not confident Im gonna pass especially since I started reviewing late.

Initially I felt like "whats the point" I answered rubbish on simple questions. I picked myself up to learn and review for the mext subjects but I keep learning all the answers I chose are wrong.

Idk if Im reaching a point of acceptance. But Im trying to not be negative but given everything its hard to stay optimistic

Not sure what to do or how to move forward

Hi docs! Just wanted to vent out here. I’ve been anxious up to this time kasi I wasn’t able to finish shading sa Physio exam nung first day. Naubusan talaga ako ng oras. About 5-10 questions yung hindi ko natapos ishade. Any effect on the test questionnaire on reading results? Most likely failed na ba ako dun kasi di rin ako sure sa halos lahat ng questions nasagutan ko 😭😭😭

Hi! Idk if I’m the only one feeling this way 🫩 I’m just feeling down from my performance on the first and second day.

I just cant help being anxious cos some people said the exams were surprisingly easy :( esp biochem, physio and anat. I’m not even kidding na i feel like I only have 20 correct answers in physio, anat, bch and patho huhu I have this feeling na its useless if I attend the 3rd and 4th days pa cos idk if mahahatak pa. I know its so negative but I really feel bad with my performance 😭 jus wondering if anyone else feels this way. I studied naman, most of the time 14-17 hours a day but I feel like it wasnt enough. I also checked the exam biopsies and CONFIRMED huhu andami ko mali even the MPLs. Idk if I still have the chance :(

Parang ayoko na pasukan yung Day 3 and 4 HAHAHA 😭 Parang 20 items lang sure ko kada subject, tapos sa Patho… wala talaga. Lord, Ikaw na bahala 😭

Hi, I’m a YL1 in med school. I know that first year is an adjustment period, and it’s normal to be overwhelmed and overstimulated due to the enormous amount of things you need to study and prepare for, but my ADHD is actually making it 100x harder.

I know my responsibilities, I know what I need to do, yet my mind won’t cooperate. It’s making me so frustrated to be aware of the things that I need to do (like studying) yet I can’t do anything efficiently. I’M STRUGGLING SO BAD.

Like, for example, I’m going to study, but my focus keeps leaving me. Even if I remove all the things that can distract me, my brain will always find a way, like suddenly daydreaming or suddenly getting unbearably bored in the middle of it… which makes my progress so slow, like 2 PAGES PER HOUR (and I need to study 7–13 CHAPTERS) especially if the contents are hard to understand or new.

I couldn’t count how many times I’ve broken down crying within just 2 MONTHS in med school. However, I absolutely cannot give up, as this is my dream, and my parents have already sacrificed a lot in order for me to be in med school (Like nagbenta pa sila ng lupa para lang may pang-tuition ako).
Survival in med school is all about adaptation. If I cannot do that, then I won’t be able to proceed to the next year level, and I absolutely can’t afford that. Sorry for the rant pero meron po ba kayo mabibigay na advice regarding this? 🥲

hi mga doc! i’ve been finding it really hard to pull myself together to at least study or review sa few days na to before day 3 and 4 ng PLE. parang naubos na talaga energy ko 😭 i’ve been trying to at least do practice tests, pero two tests lang yung kinakaya ko for the entire day. dragging narin para sakin yung mga bonus lectures.

i just want this to be over na. i feel so burnt out already. for the past takers here, have you ever felt this way during the last few days? what did you guys do?

I'm YL1 27M I started this year in July and I'm passing my exams and evals naman (no line of 7). Idk, maybe it's the unpreparedness and the feeling of going into class never finishing what needs to be studied.

For context:

The tendencies I think carry over as compounded by the loneliness, undiagnosed mental acuity, and an unhealthy coping mechanism. As well as the fact that the unhealthy coping mechanism is sinful as heck. I'm not sleeping around but damn.

The feeling of being a failure in God's eyes, unpreparedness in the classroom, the stress of pressure I put on myself to be better than before. Has left me drained and feeling broken. Overwhelmed by academics and failure in my faith.

Can the Christian Dokies or Seniors help?

I feel defeated and broken I'm not sure I'll survive the next year's like this. I'm waiting out for the end of the semester. See if I fail anything and I'd take it as a sign to stop. I'm also scared because so many people have been already calling me Doc. I just want to disappear 🫠

Ako lang ba or ang hirap talaga mag aral after ng day 2 ng boards? 1 day ko na inaaral yung pearl a ng pharma di ko matapos tapos 😭

Anyone here got so anxious to the point they werent able to sleep the night before and was groggy or sleepy during exams? Like brain fog. Were you able to focus and answer ba? Im so worried right now since the first two days i was just so sleepy during exams and cannot properly read or comprehend the questions and choices. I need karamay.

Hello po, I recently passed a medical school last August. Supposed to be mag start na ako with med school but I didn't push thru due to financial reasons. My father is already a senior and retired, my mom naman is a government employee but may chronic back pain. Kaya ayun, nag stay nalang ako to care for them. Nakapasa po ako sa isang private school kasi lower yung pr ko po. Currently working in a government job as well na plantilla position pero napapaisip parin ako about med school. Plan ko po sana is mag take ng NMAT next year to have higher pr and apply in a state university (If ever)...para maka less. But what are your thoughts on this mga docs? Diko naman pangarap maging doctor nong bata pa ako because I grew up as a sickly kid. It was only in college na nagustuhan ko maging doctor but didn't push right away due to financial reasons. Pano po yung decision niyo on why be a doctor po? Specially for people na hindi nag med school right away?

Hi fellow Oct 2026 PLE-takers! I was wondering if you noticed any trending/repetitive topics across the first 6 subjects that hints at what we should brush up on more? I noticed there were a lot of renal on the first day, then infective endocarditis on the second day... Do you guys think that it will be a recurring topic for the Day 3 and 4 subjects? Thank you!! Good luck to everyone!!
