Study Approach and Testing-Taking Strategies

Abstract

Congratulations on successfully completing Part I, the written part of American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) Board examinations. You can now focus on the art and science of clinical neurology as you prepare for the Oral Boards. As most neurologists have limited time to prepare for the Oral Boards, different approaches, such as Board Review Courses, group-study programs, and dedicated self-study have been used with success. This study guide provides some guidelines that the candidate may find useful in organizing a structured program of study that might facilitate retention of material and enhance one’s chances of success. This guide is based on personal experience, and not on any published guidelines.
