Title: I've been boarded!
Post by: Uncle Yuan on August 03, 2007, 03:04:08 PM
I just got back from the 8 hour, 366 question love fest that is the United States Medical Licensing Exam: Step II!   (aka "the boards")  :mellow:

And I can say with complete confidence that I answered every single question.



My fourth (and final) year of medical school awaits!  As soon as I finish reading "Harry Potter and the Deathy Hollows."  Hey, I've been studying like a fiend for the last several weeks . . .

Is that like water-boarding?

Well, ok, you answered every question, but did you get them right? (Or at least enough so that you pass?)

But kudos on the test and the continuing medical studies!

A No Prize to Proto for picking up on the key point.

It's tough to say.  It will be six weeks until I get my score.  Studying was hampered by my brother's recent death and the end of a really tough, intense year at school.  I do feel I was decently prepared and was doing well on practice questions.  The end result was . . . who knows?  You can drive yourself crazy second guessing yourself, especially when there's as many questions as there are on these tests.  At the end of the day I probably did fine - only about 5% of students at my school fail this exam.

That would be "0."  (Well, one Dark defender, but that's a pretty low-power healing set . . . )
