Hi!
So I'm an M1 and I've been doing a lot of thinking. During my first year, I've been doing a lot of Zanki and pathoma/Bnbs. I currently have about 10,000 board related cards at the moment. Nearly everyone online talks about how important preping for boards is. People have been saying to focus more on board prep rather than classwork. Hence, Ive been pretty much getting close to honors in all my classes, but occasionally do get some misses here and there. A few days ago, I came to wonder, what evidence is there that this stuff works? I've been thinking more and more that this whole board studying craze has been a ploy to prevent students from getting AOA. If you look, many of the top specialties love AOA, some saying that it matters more than step. Thoughts?
