I did hurst review the first time and studied my butt off and failed. I passed a couple weeks ago and had used Saunders for content and kaplan for strategies.

just speaking for myself because of the way i learn and remember things (visual more so than auditory), saunders helped me a lot more than hurst did.. and because i was really weak in content area, a quick review wasn't enough for me..i needed backgr...

honestly, if it didn't work for you the first time and you studied your butt off, i would go with another study resource because obviously it didn't work for you the first time. i failed using hurst review a couple months ago and i was so intent on h...
i passed boards kind of late (because i failed the first time) so now i'm on a time crunch (it feels..).. i applied to the few new grad/residency programs that were still accepting applications.. SO: how long does it typically take for them to conta...

79, 85, and 87 i was saving the last 3 in case i failed (ha) but now i don't even know if i should bother continuing with hurst. i feel like if i had used all of the lacharity book, i wouldve done better..i only did maybe the first 5 chapters
i just failed and i relied on hurst. most of my questions were priority questions and therapeutic response question. I got maybe 2 or 3 medications and 5 or 6 ECGs, a few SATA and 2 drag and drops. i'm really not even sure how to study anymore after ...
