Failed CRNA Boards... Help!!

Specialties CRNA

Published

Hi everyone,

My preliminary results show that I failed boards! I am crushed. I don't get it, I scored 426 on the see with next to no studying, then I studied valley for 2 to 2.5 weeks before boards didnt get though all of it either, got to question 170, (so I know I was right on the border) and failed. Anyone else fail boards? If you did, what did you do to change how/what you were studying? How soon did you retake the exam?

To those who passed... Did you memorize EVERYTHING in the sweat book? I find that next to impossible to do. Also, should I focus more on sweat book or memory master? Most people have said sweat book, but Valley says memory master is more important. How many times did people go through the sweat book before the test?

Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks!!

I did Valley Sweat Book, and took the Memory Master cards...ended up diagramming them out myself (yes, I know they come that way, it was part of how I learned). I also went back through my class notes for A&P and pharmacology. Did Core Concepts online tests, too. They were a big help.

I used CRNABoardPrep
