VIDEO: Diagnostically Focused Questions on Psychiatry Board Exams - Beat the Boards! Below is a transcript of the video – it has been edited for clarity. Today I am going to discuss diagnostically focused questions in board exams. You want to recognize the core diagnostic features. There can be a challenge with these diagnostically focused questions as the DSM-5 has a lot of disorders and each disorder has quite a few criteria. These challenges can make it hard to learn all of the criteria for all these disorders, especially for the… READ MORE

How to Study More Effectively - Beat The BoardsToday, I focus on how to study more effectively based on the Landscape of Knowledge. I categorize new information we learn into three tiers of understanding: data, information, and knowledge.

Levels of Board Exam Questions - Beat the Boards!One way I’ve found categorizing board exam questions helpful is to view them in a hierarchy of three levels, each one building on the previous one and requiring greater use of one’s clinical judgment. My three levels are: Know It →  Recognize It →  Decide It. Now let me explain and I promise this will be practically helpful and, I believe, comforting even.

What To Study If You’re Repeating an ABPN Exam - beat the boardsIf you’re studying for an ABPN board exam that you previously took and did not pass, the question you confront is how you should prepare this time around. Here’s the first important thing to do: Review your last board exam’s “Performance Profile,” that is, the list of exam scoring categories. Review your scores on the big categories (listed below).
