How I am studying for boards

Where the magic (?) happens! ^

I figured since all I do is study lately, it is only fair to give you a more in depth look at my method of getting insane amounts of information into my brain. FYI: NBDE part I has 4 sections, Gross Anatomy, Biochemistry/Phys, Microbiology/Pathology, and Dental Anatomy. 
While still in the "gathering supplies" stage of boards studying, I had heard that if you do dental decks (DD) twice, then you will pass. Being the worry filled person that I can be, I thought, "Well if it is practically gaurenteed… then that is what I will do."  That was way back in January though, and I only made it through Gross Anatomy and part of Biochemistry and I was bored of them. So I decided I needed to revamp my plan. 
Plan B: I had been sent a huge all inclusive NBDE study guide from a friend of mine awhile back. I had opened it before I started DD, but when I saw the crazy-ness the document contained, I freaked out and decided I wanted nothing to do with it. After my plan A (DD) failed, I decided to give the document another shot. I had each section printed out (about 500 pages total) and bound and I dove in head first. I started with the Gross Anatomy (GA) again and I carefully read all 120 something pages and took notes in the margins (to ensure active studying). Then when I finished I went back to the beginning and wrote my own note pages on what I thought was the most important, or stuff that I was forgetting a lot. Then, I re-read my notes and I took two practice tests on that section. Exhausting. 
I did that for all four of the sections. I know, I am off my rocker. 
After doing the read, re-write, review, test method for each section, it brought me to about 5 days ago. (yes, it took that long… keep in mind I was in school full time while doing this… if you forget that it seems like an insane amount of time to accomplish the task at hand.) 
So now what? I am about a week and a half away from my test and I am feeling like I am forgetting information as fast as I cram it in. 
My plan for now until boards is as follows. I went all the way back to GA again and skimmed the document and re-read my notes I had taken (and added some). Then I did 200 practice questions out of First Aid Questions for NBDE I, followed by a practice test from the ADA. Yesterday, I did the same process for Biochem/Phys and today I am working on Dental Anatomy. Saturday I will tackle Mico/Path, and then start cramming Sunday morning for my Behavioral Psych Final on Monday (yes, I am still in school). The rest of that week will consist of old exams, and review of information I can't seem to remember (there seems to be a lot of that). Then May 31 I take my test! YAY! And the morning after I leave for vacation with my husband :) 
Wow. I just re-read all of that…and I sound nuts. Haha. In all honesty, I just don't want to have to take this test again. My Dad always told me, "If it's worth doing, then it's worth doing right…the first time." I agree and I am studying for this test like it is going to be the hardest test I will ever take…shoot for the moon, eh? 
Thanks for reading all this non-sense. I am excited to get this test out of the way, have a short break, and start summer school. I believe we will be in the clinic a lot, so I will have tons to blog about. Happy Friday!
