   Both of you sound like you’re putting in the effort and are on the right track. I scored all over the place on practice exams. The Barkley practice tests are in my opinion much harder than the real...

   Meh, our group did fire a physician because they were a giant dumpster fire and couldn’t punch their way out of a paper bag. They were a hangover of the previous hospitalist service. They never...
