I really wish I had read your reply 4 weeks ago when I decided to "take advice" from a friend who had passed the boards. I think it was the one of the reasons I may not have passed(results still pending). We spoke about everying from what book to study from to what were some hot topics from the actual exam. I relied so heavily on her advice that I even changed my study plan! Suffice it to say, after taking the exam I wished I hadn't ever asked my friend anything. Also, before taking the exam, I kept thinking... What if I fail? Would I tell anyone? No, I shouldn't. I'll tell them I moved the date. But then realized, I can't do that without getting caught in my own lies. :uhoh21:Worrying about what people think about you and then lying to try to keep people from thinking bad about you is just... well simply looney tunes. Well, that's at least what I am telling myself.
