Hi,
My boyfriend is a resident and recently failed the step 3 COMLEX for the second time. As you can imagine he is extremely discouraged about the situation.
As his girlfriend I want to be a support system to him but I am not a doctor so I feel pretty limited in how I can help him.
Typically he uses question banks and reads different review books. He spends most of the day studying. We are trying to figure out what he needs to do differently. Staying motivated to use the same studying techniques which don't appear to be working does not seem like the best approach.
He needs to retake the exam again in mid-may so any advice on how to improve on his technique would be very helpful.
1. Are there places to go for study partners? I would think in todays internet era this could even be done online.
2. What are the recommended study materials for the COMLEX 3?
3. Do you recommend any of the online courses such as Premier Review?
Thanks for your help,
