Alright folks, time to post after a long time. Hope everyone has been doing well and it's good to be back. I recently took the NCC boards and want to share my thoughts on how to go about the exam. I am not sure if this is the right place or if this post should serve better under Neurology, but...

Thought I would make this thread since we are roughly 20 days away from the exam. How are we feeling? I took the meazure official practice test thinking there was 2 of them but I think there is only 1 ended up scoring 80%. What percentage should I am for? They felt mostly first order so I...

That time of the year again. Good luck to everyone taking it this weekend!

In med/heme onc boards, they ask clinical questions (more like work up/ treatment). We get asked about the numbers and survival percentage in all the clinical trials in the world- which is such a waste, IMHO. When is this gonna change!!

I tried searching up the DO equivalency of USMLE prep books but couldn’t find any. What books do DO students use to prep for complex? Are books like “first aid” used for both board examinations or only for USMLE? How did you prep? Is first aid sufficient? I appreciate the clarification!

Hi, I'm considering applying to IAUPR this summer (it's cheaper than the alternative american schools). There's a lot of info about pass rates for the NBEO but not much on Canadian boards-- what are the steps required coming back to Canada? And does anyone know the success rates of iaupr...

Any advice from a recent taker of the vascular neurology boards? (re: what topics to cover, difficulty, etc) The pass rate per ABPN seems to be high (99%?). Thanks for any advice on preparing that you can offer.

Hey, anyone knows what are the study materials we should use for the NDEB exam part 1 and part 2? I know it can't be the same studying materials for the NBDE (First aid, Decks, and Mosbys) because the exams are different. Any suggestions ?! Thanks.

I was not able to find any threads on this: I'm using beattheboards but it doesn't have a full length practice exam to gauge scoring, just practice sets. Does anyone know where to find or purchase practice exams only that are accurate, as we had for our USMLEs?

After talking to a couple rising third year students, it has come to my attention there there is a new anki deck (zanki) competing with brosencephalon. Can anyone provide insight on to which is the better of these two decks? To those who have just taken boards, any thoughts/comments on what you...
