Hello everybody,

Took my test on May 18th. in LA. I prep for about two weeks. Did a lot of reading from 3 sources first before practicing with anyone. FA is great for all the D/D's that they have. UW what can I say it si great for this Test. Pretty much every case I had, had seen it in UW. Also great for practicing with a partner or over the phone. Case-Based Simulation and review Series great book too. It show's how to write a simple and quick patient note. The pictures helped a lot too. And of course Mr. DIGITALDOC what a great web site. A lot of info and tips I followed most of them. Well all that I could remember. Also the buddies site. Great also. That is how I met my two great study buddies.

I practiced over the phone for like 4 days about 6 hours a day. Practiced live once for about 9 hrs. Only stopped for lunch. Went throught many cases and focused specifically on some maneuvers only. Practiced writing the Patient Note for a few hours but after reading FA, UW and Case-Based Simulation I pretty much had already and idea of a note.

Had tips from a couple friends who had already taken the test. Thank you to them too.

Also this forum has a a lot of great tips and assistance from someone.

The LA center was great. Friendly and professional. Also the airport is only 5 mins away. The hotels are only two big blocks away. About a 10 min walk. Not far. Beach is a 20 min walk. Highly recomend the LA center.

Good day to all!!!
