For fellow residents and former residents:
Does you program give you time off the week before OKAPS to study? I've heard some programs give residents the Friday off before the exam or even the entire week.
Also does your program provide or send you to a review course for OKAPS?
My program, for example, give us no time off the week before. In fact, I was actually on call the night before the exam last year and up till 4AM. And other than a couple of review sessions by our glaucoma and plastics faculty we have no designed prep for OKAPS.
I'm interested to hear your responses because our faculty seems to make a big deal out of our OKAP scores. And since it is graded on a percentile I would like to point out to them that we do fairly well considering what we are competing against.
