Hi,

I'm taking it this Thursday, a bit nervous too but as it gets closer I'm feeling more excited & relieved cause I know it will be over soon! I also did Saunders for content & Kaplan for strategy. Stay confident, keep calm, & deep breath, we got this!

Biggest word of advice.... you have to stay calm during your test and not let the over-anxiety get to you. The last thing you need during the test is to blank out.

For me, I was able to reduce my anxiety by a ten-fold by completely emptying my head with everything I memorized ....onto the little plastic writing board they give you.

As soon as I sat down and read the instructions, I took my time and wrote down all my insulin times, drew the "rule of 9" man, drew the cranial nerve face (had 1 question on that...thank god I reviews the CN face), wrote down any meds that I found hard to finally memorize, etc....

It really helped tremendously bc when it came to the point where I had to dig for information in my head, I wasn't burning myself out by trying to conjure up images and values. Try it and you'll feel 100% more confident!!

(Recently passed first try 75q in about an hour andhalf)

I did not know we were able to write lab values & things down like that in the board that they provide. That's excellent!

yup... my marker was a very thin sharpie... so i wrote very small to save space... last thing u want is to run out of space, exchange for new sheet, and have everything u wrote...GONE!... i believe if u ask for another sheet, they take ur old one and replace it with a new one.

Did you read all the chapters in saunders?how did you retain that information? I'm planning on doing 1-2 chapters a day. How long did you finish the whole book?
