To me, that post is inappropriate for a professional forum.
Sorry I think I logged onto Facebook by accident, leaving now...
Oh thats so nice of you .The OP finally passed on his 2nd attempt. No doubt this is a huge relief, so I think he's entitled to celebrating. Sure he coulda posted as a reply in the Part II thread instead, but given the circumstances, I think most people would cut him a break.
for a professional forum.
I think you should not use too many sources, focus on one source and study it well. And definitely do questions. I personally found reading presby twice and doing the questions on podiatryboardsprep to be very helpful. I was able to read couple chapters from presby and then go and take an exam and see how I did. The questions covered all the topics on the exam, and presby covers the topics on the exam, except epidemiology.as a current 3rd year student...What advise would you give in terms of approach and study materials? I'm curious what you did differently the 2nd time around. Thanks much appreciated.
During externships I wrote down questions I had during the day that I was not certain on. I would study that night and then explain it to other students, residents or doctors to make sure I understood the topic. Doing this makes it more interesting to study. I would study one topic and use 2-4 resources for reference and then read questions on the topic to gauge my understanding. I never read the review books front to back, cause I don't have the patience. Study to understand so you can rock your interviews. Always talk out what you study so you can better understand things in your mind. That is how I study and how it works for me. Everyone is different.as a current 3rd year student...What advise would you give in terms of approach and study materials? I'm curious what you did differently the 2nd time around.

Taking my part II boards next year, still a 3rd year. To me, that post is inappropriate for a professional forum.
I agree.
After jumping through hoops to gain school admittance, passing exams, performing in undergrad and spending ridiculous sums of money, it's understood that it's a professional environment and the people are at school to learn the job, and the professionalism that comes with it.
This, being an anonymous forum with minimal if any guidelines or requirements to join, should be expected to adhere to the same professionalism and stick-in-the-butt-ness.
I don't post on these forums unless I'm wearing at least a button up shirt, tie and a sport coat.
Take it easy, friend
I apologize if my post caused any unnecessarily frustrationand made some people upset. It was just an emotional reaction to passing suchan exam. In no way, form or shape did I want to make anyone feel stupid or worthless.It was just spare of the moment and hope I didnt offend anyone.I want to be a contributor to podiatry, and my respect for it and those in it is mirrored even in an anonymous forums. The only reason why I deemed the original post inappropriate was to avoid unnecessary frustration to those who fail. It should not be a big deal to pass a board examination. However, it is a big deal to fail it. My conduct will remain, and so will the imaginary suit and tie that i'm wearing.
I wouldave if I could LOLOh my gaaaawd folks.
What's with the PC BS??? Something happy happens, post away!!!
Geez, have we gotten that sensitive????
It's not like he called out Obama or something!!!!!
When did excellence become something to hide?
This reminds me of reading about a high school in the news paper that was considering ending it's gifted and talented programs because it had a negative emotional impact on the people that weren't in it.

Additionally, I use Myspace instead of Facebook, and your initial post regarding a facetious accidental Facebook login made me feel disregarded and insulted. I expect a retraction and a full apology.
Wear your suit and tie.
I did not feel like I was attacked at all. I dont want any other student to feel frusturated or down because of my post. I was very upset and frusturated when I did not pass the first time I took the exam. so I see your point.Perhaps that high-school was on to something.
Hiding excellence is called modesty. It is usually slightly frowned upon behind his back when a student broadcasts his exam scores amongst his peers. When I made it into podiatry school, I expected and received congratulations from my friends and family. When I pass my board examinations, I do not expect nor should I receive congratulations from anybody. Boards are something that students are expected to pass in order to receive their medical license.
I apologize for the facetious remark involving Facebook. It was tasteless and passive-aggressive.
Nevertheless, dare1183, I'm not attacking you by any means and I appreciate you understanding that your comment may have been frustrating for certain students to read. I just wanted to remind everyone, take a look at how many views each thread receives, this is very much a public forum with silent opinions being generated. If anyone has anything else to say to me, please do so in private messages.

Lol Attack, based solely on statistics, it's harder to pass boards than get into pod school, so maybe you celebrated early...

Are you trying to say Im not mature or something?I think you don't need to tell people your grades for them to know you're a bauss. They can figure it out by how hard you work and how mature you are. Nonetheless, there will always be gunners who try and compete with you. So for bob and Attack, take em down
someone please tell me this conversation is an april fools joke.
Sorry guys, you're right! It IS harder to get into pod school than pass boards. My bad.
