Clinician preparing for a board exam—focused on a laptop with pen, notebook, and coffee nearby in bright window light.Procrastination snowballs; that is, procrastination leads to ever more procrastination. The stress of delay leads to more delay, which leads to more stress and so on. Procrastination grows until the pressure to do the required task grows so high that, finally, action is taken. Of course, once action is taken, the work is often done under conditions of emotional duress, a reduced ability to focus, and too little time to get the job done well.

Psychiatry student studying for the ABPN exam.Question: “Dr. Jack, how do you recommend pacing ourselves during the clinical vignette sections of the ABPN board exam? You mentioned aiming for 70 seconds a question but how would that work if there is a long vignette question stem or a 2-3-minute-long video?” This is a great question and I’ll answer it here (and then move on to address a larger question): Not every medical board exam question takes the same amount of time to answer.

Perfectionism can kill your exam performanceThis week we completed our 5-Day Psychiatry Board Prep Course in Chicagoland. (It was great to see and speak with so many colleagues there.)  At the course, I received several questions from our attendees about what turned out to be a single problem described in different ways.

Screen Functions on ABPN Board ExamsToday I respond to two questions regarding the what information is available on the exam screen on ABPN® board exams.
