You have to aim much higher, so that if you miss it by a little, you are still passing. You shouldn't get in the habit of memorizing the answers, rather you need to know the content.Īiming for a score of 380 assuming pass at 371 is a narrow therapeutic index. This could also be a pitfall when you are answering practice questions. You only do so to identify which one was already in your mind. For most of the questions you should know the answer without looking at the options. And then you mention that you go back to the question again. Reading the options is just a chance to confuse yourself. Next, and it's been a long time since I took the boards, but what I advise is that after you read the question stem, you don't read the options. You have even convinced yourself that you are going to pick the wrong answer between the last 2 options. You have to get it out of your mind that you are a "poor test taker". I am so devastated.Ĭlick to expand.The problem here is your psychology. I will read through the Awesome review as well I can study board basics and may watch Medstudy videos I will finish off UW at least twice if not more I do not want to study Harrison or MKSAP I have awesome review books from last year

I am devastated that I have to do this again. I have zero remorse that I failed cause I know this exam does not define me. I am worried about how my colleagues will perceive of me or how my job will be affected as of right now.PLEASE FEEL FREE TO GIVE ME SOME INSIGHTĤ. I am a hospitalist, knock on wood, things have been going great. But still, I end up choosing the wrong answer.Ģ. I read the question stem, read the options and go back to the question. I am the one who will always pick the wrong answer between the last two options. Mostly scared that I didn't know that I was able to do such poorly on a standardized test.Īfter a long and hard look inside here are some facts,ġ.
