Hi guys. I'm taking the ABFAS exam in September. How are yall studying in between rotations? For me I'm doing majority of my studying on the weekends . And during the week I'm able to get come question and cases in in between managing inpatient and clinic.

Thankfully we are usually done with work 3/4pmish daily. My resources for studying are BW and just fact checking things on Google.

Thanks

Its been a long time for me. Exam changes. But I would recommend reading ACFAS journal. The exam was more conceptual and multiple answers that could be right - but had to choose the best based on literature. There was not very much memorize and dump on the exam I took. More problem solving.

It could be totally different by now. But thats how i would aprach it.

If you paid attention in school, go to a decent residency, and read regularly (JFAS, FAI, core texts, etc), you're likely to have no problem.

If your residency has little/no academics and board prep, you'll need to read that much more on your own. It helps to read the Acfas consensus papers and attend the ASC if you can.

BWizards is useful for getting accustomed to the CBPS format and choices. You want to do them all, maybe a couple times over before the exam.

As someone in an unfortunate graduating class who had to pay for and take both the old part 1 cbps and new cbps the only thing I walked out wishing I had reviewed was bone tumors. Its always bone tumors
