Hey, I couldn't understand you more, really. After having failed it twice and thinking for sure i failed it on the third time, i can empathize.
what you need to consider is the "eye on the prize" sort of attitude. think about how great it will be when you finally get your license and start seeing pts. and start earning money. get inspired by that and try hard to avoid fears, this is as much mind as anything else and believe me, i was scared s%#less, but i tried so hard to believe in myself and to instill confidence in myself. also, ppl are passing w/o problems, consider that you'll be one of those fortunate ones to get there. believe in yourself and think how much it can hurt you to have a defeatest attitude. It's totally normal to feel this helpless and hopeless, but you gotta pull yourself out of it and FOCUS on what needs to be done. good luck! 👍

i don't recommend first aid at all. i just found that it lacked the depth and detail that is needed to score well on this exam. sounds like you have all of what's needed to do well. i only added tufts when i failed it the second time and i found it very helpful on my third exam. on my third try i was just more focused and more determined and studied a bit harder! 👍

i don't think so.
 
Hi guys,
Do you have any recent updates about passing/failling rate?
Have you or your friend received they result back recently?
 
To the OP: I can sympathize with you, I took the exam back in December, failed with a 74. When I left I didn't think it was that bad. Turns out I didn't do too hot on the case based questions. All I did to study was use First-Aid (sucks), Kaplan Q bank (pretty good), Tufts (awesome for pharm), and 2 old exams.

Now I am freaking out too. It sucks so bad but we gotta get through it, and we will. Just study everyday and stay focused. This will pass. I'm using Mosbys, doing old ASDA exams, and studying like crazy from the decks. I hope I pass this time..I pray to God.🙂
 
Can anyone tell me how is the board buster? should i buy that book or not?
I really appreciate for help. Please tell me.
 
Hi there
buster is the best book I ever had ...it's exactly same as decks but better than decks for me because it is very well organized , it helps a lot during revisions as u know this is one book than 1000s of flashcards in decks...do buster line by line...my 30% questions for part 2 were exactly from it...Good luck!!!!!
