13 Mistakes Medical Students and Professionals Make on the Boards: Part 1
Description
Pitfalls to Avoid When Taking Medical Board Exams and Other Tests
Over the past decade, we’ve seen the students and physicians we work with make a lot of mistakes on tests. But we’ve come to realize that the types of mistakes they make are surprisingly consistent. So much so, in fact, that we’ve been able to identify 13 common errors medical students and doctors make that cause them to miss points on board exams and other tests.
In this mini-series, we dig deep into each “miss type,” or type of error we’ve seen.
In this first episode of the series, we start with evaluating whether it’s truly a test-taking issue or whether you simply don’t know the material well enough — a miss type we call a “knowledge miss.”
From there, we outline 3 additional ways test-takers can go wrong on exam day.
We’ll discuss other test-taking pitfalls in future episodes. So be sure to sign up for our mailing list and visit our blog to stay up to date on our latest, episodes, videos, and posts!
