The 6 Month (or More) Plan
Based on the responses you gave us, this is the suggested study plan for your board exam review. You are a methodical planner, and prefer to absorb details. You view studying for an exam to be a necessary evil, but prefer to learn for your practice, not just to pass a test. This is what we have put together for you:
OUR SUGGESTION:
Because of the amount of time you will have to study with this plan, we recommend purchasing our Total Package along with our Clinical Skills and Procedure Workshop. This will give you plenty of time to finish the Core Module, QBank, Inpatient Guide, Review Flashcards, and Stimulus Review.
Attendance at our 2-day workshop will augment your study plan, and we recommend taking this early in your review process.
