Hey there everyone! I'm going to come right out and say it, I'm a lurker. But just reading everything you all have been through is making this torturous wait a little easier. My grandfather passed away. His funeral was scheduled for the day of my boards and my family insisted that I not reschedule... just get it out of the way... I went along with it, but WOW, did I regret it. I sat to take the bloody thing... I remember staring at the computer in utter disbelief. Where the hell were these questions coming from?! None of my studying prepared me... my post-op questions were all these weirdo procedures I'm never heard of... The medication questions were ridiculous... I swear I had at least 15 of them!!! I wasn't familiar with most of them either. No math. One cultural (Muslim) ~ which I got right, completely by chance. Once I hit 60 questions, I was like... I can DO 200 questions... just don't let this thing stop me at 85!!!!!!! Fifteen questions later I was done... Approximately 45 minutes in the hot-seat. I walked out completely dazed. Then I cried like a little girl. I haven't heard of a lot of people failing with the minimum number of questions... so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed. I should hear in a day or two.
