Take those practice exams!
I was cleaning out my closet today and found one of my test taking strategies that I used when taking practices tests (and the actually exam tbh) and I wanted to share with y’all!
Clinical simulations were my strongest area, so I knew 15 mins for this was good for me and then I gave myself a longer break here because this section really fatigues my brain out 🧠😅
✨pro tip: take a practice test without studying and without giving yourself the 4 hour time limit to get a baseline for yourself✨
Ok now the multiple choice section:
There are 170 MC questions that I divided into 5 sections so that I was being intentional about taking BREAKS during the exam and not getting burnt out (because a four hour test is a longggg time)
The times you see are roughly the amount of time it took me to complete about 33 questions and you’ll notice that sometimes it took me longer and that’s ok!
This little guide I made for practice tests allowed me to give myself a chance to not feel rushed and to play around with giving myself extra time in the CS vs MC questions.
Studying for boards can feel like a brick of stress thrown at you, but taking the exam doesn’t have to be. I highly recommend building in breaks to allow yourself to reset and be revived for the next section of questions 👏🏼
