Wish me luck... I'm off to take my board exam tomorrow!

Wish me luck friends.... off to take my Emergency Medicine written boards at 8am tomorrow. Going to get some good sleep tonight and eat a healthy breakfast and then off to the exam building.

8 hours of an exam.

Let's hope I'm prepared. I have been reading nearly everyday.



After the exam, I get to go home to my wife and we will go eat dinner and then I'll get to watch Skyfall!!

I'm bringing my trusty Sub to the exam - probably switch to the GMTIIC for the after events.

Good luck. A bunch of my friends just took it as well. I heard it's not much different (in terms of difficulty) from the in-service exams.

G'luck - 8 hours testing...fun!

I recall, somewhat fondly, doing GRE's and AGRE's in double majors all in one day - many mango seasons ago, though. 12 hours - much fun!

Have fun with that. I've done two written and one oral board exam. The oral exams are the worst.

Don't stare at your watch too much during the test.

Very best of luck to you, and let us know how you think you did.

GO get em'!

Thanks everyone! Exam went well... won't know results for 90 days.

But I think it was ok... finished in 4 hours instead of the 8 that was portioned out for the day... hopefully that means it was good and not that I missed things left and right.

Going out now.. thanks again fellas!
