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. A exam candidate can fool themselves into believing they understand the material through familiarity with it even when they haven’t converted it into knowledge through active learning.

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. Know It This lowest level of question relies almost exclusively on recalling some specific piece of information… Click to Read More

Recognizing zebras in clinical vignettes on psychiatry boardsThe medical boards pride themselves on presenting multiple-choice questions that are clinically-relevant and fair.
