Okay... gunner central.... I know!!!
Anyway, I'm trying to avoid peeing my pants when it comes down to grind time...so I'm asking now..
when the heck should I start studying for boards. I feel like the MCAT was so awful and I'm like borderline ******ed at reading so the verbal was a nightmare for me the first time I took it..... I'm nervous that I will perform badly on the boards for the same reason. I know there is a thread about "experiences" and such, but can a few people respond about WHEN to start studying and with what? I was planning on buying the 6 mo. Q Bank at some point and i have a first aid and a ton of review books (mainly high yield, lippincotts, brs and some goljan lectures) and of course pharm cards and micro cards... i'm just so overwhelmed with classes that I can't even imagine studying for boards on top of this! I have all these beautiful books, but no time to read them,!
Should I just start with bedtime reading and then about 6 months before just start going nuts on board questions. I feel like the more questions I do , the higher I'll score..
PS. If you're like the 'don't have to study much to get an A' type, please don't respond. I'm like the " I have to study my ass off to get a 90" type, so if you understand that feeling, I'd love to hear from you
peace
