Pearls
-- studying for boards
•
Study like someone’s life depended on it – one day it might.
•
At the end of the day, being a good person is more important that being
a good student.
•
Grades are not as important as understanding the material.
•
Specifically study for boards one hour per week during your clinical
year. It will make studying at the end much less
hectic.
•
If you are able, spend 2-3 weeks before boards in concentrated studying...doing
nothing but studying. It won't be
fun, but it will go fast and you will pass.
•
Study from multiple study guides.
•
Do many practice questions. The APAP study guide offers a CD with
a great set of quizzes.
•
Try to attend a board review session put on by your school or another
CME approved source.
•
Relax; you know more than you think.
•
Follow the blueprint on the NCCPA website.
