Hi all, just took the oral boards today and want to curl up and die. Felt horrible. Now my pain board exam is in 3 weeks. Any advice as to the best crash course way to study in a 3 week window would be? Questions? Review book? I dunno where to even start at this point. Thanks

Yeah I am doing questions from board vitals and pass machine. And don't worry I felt the same exact way after my oral boards.

Yes hello are you me? Probably should have waited to start my new job until after boards, but here we are, adrenaline-dumping and daydrinking. My plan is to just do all of boardvitals and any other qbank I can get my hands on - no time or energy for a review book.

I took my oral boards about 3 weeks ago and I'm convinced I failed lol. But I guess that feeling is maybe not uncommon so hoping I actually didn't. In addition to the qbanks there's a board review book by Marc Huntoon titled Pain Medicine Board Review that I found to be pretty helpful for the ITE, moreso than boardvitals or the other online question. Hoping it holds true for the board exam.

Boardvitals and the Huntoon book and you’re set. I’m not a great natural test taker but destroyed the pain boards. I felt like they were the most clinically relevant and non “tricky” of the standardized tests I’ve taken, and I heard that from my other colleagues as well. Good luck, you’ll do great!
