Final thoughts
There’s a strict ranking of what kinds of study materials you should get to prepare for your eventual exam. Mock tests and practice exams are the most valuable. The review materials above are identical in style and form to the test that you will take.
Space out your study schedule, with only a slight increase right before the exam day. Try to practice each question five times from the time you first learned it, until your testing day.
Remember that the board exam is hard, and rightfully so. The best thing you can do is review and find high-quality review materials — like what we have here.
