I have to say that even know everyone is scared of this exam and it is indeed SUPER important...it is soooooo possible to do well on it. I just got my scores back last week and nailed a 248!!!! I am totally freaking out and feel as if the weight of the world is off my shoulders.

I really had a serious study schedule which worked for me. I could not afford the PASS Program in Champaign, IL with the tuition, board, flights, ect...therefore, a friend of mine used the Breakin the Boards text which is offered there and had nothing but praise for it. I found it online and ordered a copy. I then studied for a 3 month block...but I mean studied. I would go to my local library from open to close daily (fridays and weekends they close at 5pm which gave me some downtime). I found another person who wanted to pimp eachother after we completed a topic to further strengthen our foundation. The text has two volumes which equal 800 pages but formated to allow easy understanding.

After I completed the text...I saved a month for questions and review of the book. Then 1 week before the test all I did was first aid and was able to go through the entire book twice in a day. It may sound crazy but it worked!

In short....ALL the material I used was the following:
1. Breakin the Boards
2. First Aid
3. UWorld

This combo will ensure a great score. Need anythin...ask. Many people and posts helped me...therefore, it is my turn to help others.



Sincerely,

Christine
