How did you prep?

 

[Precedex]

I am not a physician my husband is. His orals are in a month! He preps by reading from "big red" I want him to take courses or prep in more drastic ways. Any advice on what really helped you? Or names of places with courses? In southern California.

This is gonna be fun.

if he's good speaker and can logically defend a decision under duress, then continue reading big red til test day
if he's not a good speaker, get a partner and practice saying out loud as much as possible with sample exams starting today.

There are a ton of threads about this already. Please search the forum.

Do practice exams
Read Yao and Artusio - it is phrased in the "I would X, because Y" style that helps on boards
Do more practice exams
Read Board Stiff Two (Three isn't as good IMHO)
Do some more practice exams

Oh, and do some practice exams! Good luck!

Practice with whomever will listen. I loved Ultimate Board Prep. It can be challenging to coordinate practicing with other busy physicians/Fellows. You can the read question, verbalize the answer to yourself and then compare your response to UBPs.
