zero studying is required for part 3 if you worked hard during externships and were well prepped for interviews. i took it in june between graduation and residency and it was a joke.

Real answers only please. Not studying for an exam is just plain stupid. 4 months separate interviews and the June exam. That's a significant amount of time to forget information

I don't think @josebiwasabi was joking. I agree with him. The best studying you can do is preparing during externships and for interviews and really learning the material. I took it my second year of residency and didn't feel the need to study. If you're really learning the material instead of just cramming it in at the last second, you should be able to recall the information

I'm already a resident. So externship/interview stuff doesn't apply.

Perhaps adjusting the broad invitation for reply would better suit what you're looking for?

Anyone that has taken the exam as a resident, what r the best ways to study and prep for it? No offense to anyone but repeating the fact that the "exam is a disgrace, don't study etc" is really not helpful. Kindly requesting that if you don't have any constructive comments please don't respond to this post. Just looking for people that took the exam and studied. Our sources for podiatry are limited I just wanted to know what's best. Thanks

If you studied for part 3 then you just wasted your time. Our board examinations are a complete disgrace.

While this may be true it does not help us that still need to study and take the exam
