Mayo does offer some scholarships to go to their board review course. The deadline for applying has not passed, so if you are a current fellow you could try and apply and ask your PD to nominate you. I also heard the Mayo course is the best one, and I also heard the ECG book mentioned above is the key one to study, and that the ECG portion of the test is key to passing versus failing. There was a presentation by a faculty member @the ACC meeting recently where he stated they are now going to grade the cath plus ECG portions together as one, I think (or was it echo plus ECG?). This could make the test either harder or easier to pass...
tibor,
standardized tests may not be hard for YOU, but there are always certain people for whom they are not so easy, and if someone is that type and he/she knows it, then taking a board prep course might not be a bad investment. Personally, I would just buy review books, but I usually do OK on those types of tests...
