I know boards are no joke and to be quite honest, they terrify me. I feel like there's no time like the present, so thinking about picking up some materials and maybe start on a Qbank or something in the meantime. I picked up First Aid on Amazon and am just starting to browse through it lightly.

For reference, I'm a high school senior, will be attending college at a highly-ranked public university in the fall. Please let me know if you have other ideas for a good boards study plan, so I can do well when the time comes. Thanks.
 
But seriously man. This thread compared to the thread where a bunch of people are saying that I committed "Desecration of a human cadaver"

Step 1: Graduate high school
Step 2: enjoy your summer
Step 3: do well in college
Step 4: enjoy college
Step 5: study for the MCAT
Step 6: do well on the MCAT
Step 7: apply to medical school
Step 8: get accepted to medical school
Step 9: repeat step 2
Step 10: survive your first year of medical school
Step 11: do well in your first year of medical school
Step 12: repeat step 2 & 9
Step 13: do well first semester of second year of medical school
Step 14: create a board study plan
Step 15: study for boards second semester second year of medical school

You are fifteen steps ahead of yourself. Take a deep breath. Enjoy being 18. The time to panic about boards will come but you're not there yet.
 
I love how OP isn't even asking if studying for boards as a high schooler is a good idea. Straight to which study plans work best. :laugh::laugh::laugh: Definitely trolling.
 
Poor attempt at a troll

I'd start casually studying for the MCAT if I were in your position right now.
 
You're five years ahead of where you need to be. The boards are hard, but they're not that hard. Most people get get a 230+ with six weeks of steady dedicated study. While this is likely a post you made for the lulz, there is a good chance it has a bit of truth to it- before I started medical school, I would look over old versions of first aid and such, but I realized it was pointless because the knowledge was simply too broad and had too little of a foundation for me to remember (plus it was a huge waste of time). But you know, I couldn't help but be curious about what all this board fuss was about, so I looked a couple times.

this has got to be the greatest troll post I've ever come across. Such genius. I loved your post on the new "am I studying too soon" thread on allopathic. Pls continue your work I am a fan.

really? You would? In high school? I would just say this to Mr foresight highschooler edition: Son I recommend you go out and enjoy being a senior in highschool thinking your nuts are bigger than they really are. I remember those days and boy I do not miss them. Boy, go outside and enjoy your care free life while you still can. Savour it and when you are ready you will let it go and become a man like me and my man friends. You can do it, I believe in you.

I'd rather work hard now so I can enjoy life later when I retire, but okay.

I know boards are no joke and to be quite honest, they terrify me. I feel like there's no time like the present, so thinking about picking up some materials and maybe start on a Qbank or something in the meantime. I picked up First Aid on Amazon and am just starting to browse through it lightly.

For reference, I'm a high school senior, will be attending college at a highly-ranked public university in the fall. Please let me know if you have other ideas for a good boards study plan, so I can do well when the time comes. Thanks.

By the time you write the step 1 whatever you would have read right now would be utterly useless and out of date, all of medicine would be replaced by algorithm driver AI cyborgs using nanotechnology and the world would have been baked in nuclear holocaust 3 years prior.

I'm actually very nice to the high school age cohort. I kind of hate it when people are dicks to them. They are just kids.

With that said I was told once in no uncertain terms to not post in hSDN. So I haven't.

Oh it's just a gentle ribbing. If we start to lose our sense of humor and take ourselves too seriously we end up, well, studying for step 1 in high school.

i think most people in here started studying the year before they took the test, not in high school, its just unnecessary. but some people like the hard way
 
Studying for medical school exams before you even start college? And I honestly thought I was getting ahead of myself. My mom always says don't count your chickens before they hatch.
 
... This is like my post about high school students studying for the MCAT but even more extreme – the OP plans on studying for medical boards!

You should enjoy your undergraduate experience and focus on maintaining your GPA during freshman year and finding out if 'medicine is truly right for you', instead of wasting your time studying for the MCAT! Most people striving to become doctors (as high school students) do not even take the MCAT! I know plenty of kids who began studying for the SAT as eighth graders, who barely broke a score of 2000!

Live in the moment, especially during college!
 
It's not even about living your life or enjoying it while you can. Do you really think the material your studying for now will be the same by the time your even in medical school, if you even get in?

Most of the things I studied for my Board exams hadn't been discovered when I was in HS (and that was before computers made information obsolete in years instead of decades).

You and your "logic." Real gunners study and learn things that haven't been invented yet.
 
After belief that the OP is possibly a troll, I started to reconsider after remebering this post.

My dad was a doctor so instead of coloring books he always gave me black and white copies of Netter's to color as a little kid.

Damn straight. If I don't make AOA my parents are going to write me out of the will and donate my inheritance to charity or something 😡
 
Yes, you are studying for Boards way too soon.

Get into college first and come back in four years if you not one of the 90% of pre-meds who never get into med school.

I know boards are no joke and to be quite honest, they terrify me. I feel like there's no time like the present, so thinking about picking up some materials and maybe start on a Qbank or something in the meantime. I picked up First Aid on Amazon and am just starting to browse through it lightly.

For reference, I'm a high school senior, will be attending college at a highly-ranked public university in the fall. Please let me know if you have other ideas for a good boards study plan, so I can do well when the time comes. Thanks.

really? You would? In high school? I would just say this to Mr foresight highschooler edition: Son I recommend you go out and enjoy being a senior in highschool thinking your nuts are bigger than they really are. I remember those days and boy I do not miss them. Boy, go outside and enjoy your care free life while you still can. Savour it and when you are ready you will let it go and become a man like me and my man friends. You can do it, I believe in you.

I volunteer with two different places and will through college. I also shadow physicians and surgeons, I'm too far ahead... Let alone studying for the MCAT.... Lol, I'm a high school senior btw... I can't imagine even until your Sophomore year maybe starting to apply the concepts for the MCAT. + things change!
 
On a serious note, if you want to be ready go get your emt, and then become a paramedic
you'll get to push drugs, do intubation, do IVs, tell people that their loved one is dead..
it'll prepare you better than anything
