Study Tips
Internal medicine, surgery: common
illnesses, things emphasized over med
school (e.g., pathology in IBD, DKA, ddx of
red, painful joint), basics every physician
should know (treatment of AOM, approach
to lytes, acid-base, acute abdo pain, etc.)
Do lots of sample tests!! (USMLE, LMCC)
Find .torrents, share with colleagues
CONS:
Long days
Sometimes
overwhelming
Some classes better
than others
Practice! Practice!
Nothing prepared me more than
practice exams.
Available at med office and
actual old exams available at
the library.
Photocopy them all and do them
everyday.
Near the exam date, practice
doing full day exams to build
your stamina and concentration.
If there is something you dont
get, read about it!
Most common themes repeat
themselves.
Toronto Notes.
Cram.
Study to the last minute.
Isolate ourselves in the library dungeon.
Exam Tips
Read carefully
Guess where you can
Move on
Watch your time
Sleep well especially the night before
Take questions as they are not tricks
Dont overanalyze adaptive questioning
Bring a good lunch and snacks for exam day.
Dont compare yourself to other people in the room.
Language I chose a language and stuck with it through
the exam. Some switched back and fourth, but watch
your time.
