For anyone who has recently taken the FM Boards, any specific advice on resources or study techniques that worked best for you? I've included a few links below of previous threads that provide advice, but am looking for more recent input.

Thanks!

1. Review prior 3-4 years ITEs
2. Do free AAFP Board review Qs
3. Consider self-study course from AAFP, but not necessary
4. NEJM Board review Qs were good and what I used - had exact concepts show up. Don't waste your time with other third party QBanks (I.e. Rosh Review, USMLE World)


That and up trending ITE scores should warrant a pass. I was overly paranoid but passed very comfortably and improved from the most recent ITE score as well. I suspect there is a very generous curve, and I noted this on the ITEs as well.

I understand that a score 440 or better on the ITE (your last one in third year) would almost guarantee you a pass. So to the OP. Do what docforlife says consistently and you should pass.
