Members don't see this ad.

i posted something similar to this in the usmle section but didnt get a reply...so figured might give it a shot here..

i will be taking my boards soon and jus wanted to ask a few questions from people who have already taken it

my license has a different address than the orange slip that they send out...im hoping that wont be a problem...does anyone know for sure?

also what do u guys do for food over there? im gonna be taking it in north jersey and was wondering if anyone else has taken it in fair lawn (next to garden state). do u bring ur food? or what?

also is there anything else i should bring along besides the orange slip and an id and maybe some munchies?

is there anything else that i should do besides sleep the day before? people say that you shouldnt study...what do u think?!

Hi there,
Call your testing center and ask the above questions. You have a total of 45 minutes (30 minutes + an additional 15 if you do not need to go through the tutorial).

It's a long day so make sure you are rested but you can study if you feel the need. You can pack a bagged lunch if you do not want to go offsite and bring plenty of fluids too.

hmmm...how does 45 min + 15 equal a long day?? I'm confused 😕

Those are the break times - half an hour for break, 15 min. for tut reading.

I remember packing a bag lunch for the MCAT

Never got around to eating it because I was so stressed out 🙂

Definitely won't make that mistake this time around!
