You must know what to study, when to study, how to study, and how to take the test. Plan time to read in all of the topics in internal medicine. Do supplemental reading to strengthen your weaker areas. Study EKGs, radiology, CT scans, MRIs, and dermatology pictures to supplement your knowledge. We have found that this is an excellent way to further consolidate your knowledge.
Audiocassettes provide an especially convenient, rapid review and efficient use of time.
We recommend you test your knowledge to identify any areas of weakness. You can strengthen those areas by studying references written on those topics specifically. Continue tape reviews and self-testing. Do not study during the last week before the examination. If possible, take your examination in a resort location or city you would like to visit.
