May 31st, 2011. Yep, that is the day I will take the NBDE part I. Im not the first in my class to take it, and not the last, Im right about in the middle. A good spot to be when taking boards…if you ask me.
How am I studying for boards? I am mostly using Dental Decks and old practice exams. Maybe a little NBDE First Aid mixed in. It is the magic formula? The winning combo? The best plan ever? Not sure yet, but I will be sure to let you know.
My spring break officially started Friday at 5pm, but it hasn't felt much like a break yet. I am really trying to get some board material covered so that I am on track when May rolls around. Don't get me wrong… I am not working too hard. I had a lovely morning reviewing old board questions at a coffee shop, followed by an afternoon of shopping :)
