Testimonials: Workshops and Services for Written Exam

Written Diagnostic Bank

"Unfortunately, I am repeating the (ABOG) written boards. So I can tell you from one who knows that your written test question bank virtually duplicates the exam in that it is computerized and the format of the questions are very similar to the boards. The interpretation summary and narrative explanations of the answers were enormously helpful. I can't believe I'm saying this, but it was actually fun." -- 2008

Test Taking Skills Workshop

"Your workshop really helped. I failed the written boards the first time by a couple of points. This time I got 30 points higher (and of course I passed). I honestly don't believe I had more fundamental knowledge (I felt I was prepared the first time), but I felt more in control using your test taking skills strategies. It took me longer to finish the exam, but I was calmer and felt like I answered the questions more efficiently."

"Dr. Das, I can't believe you called me first for my results, but then again, of course you would, since you've been with me all the way. I passed my written (ABOG) boards FINALLY on the SIXTH attempt!!! I was in deep despair when I called for your help after failing for the fifth time. I had been to all those review courses with their money back guarantee; they lost their money, and I lost my dignity. You were candid and acknowledged the chances of passing the sixth time were slim. Unlike anyone else however, you sought to find out why I was repetitively failing. You referred me to (education specialist) Martin Jolly and I underwent extensive testing. You then helped me develop a study plan and made sure I stuck with it and proved I was practicing my new test taking skills. You even helped find a study buddy in my area. Your review course helped me further hone in on key test topics. Not only did I pass this time, but I nailed that puppy with a score of 71%. I am forever grateful." -- VB 7/07

"Krishna (Das), I PASSED (the ABOG written board)!!!!! I can't believe it -- after four attempts I finally passed. I feel like a new person. What made the difference this time? Well a bunch of things that I did differently. Most important was your review course and the syllabus. I carried the notes around with me everyday (I mean it!) and I used it all day at work to look up things for my patients. I took advantage of your PRN (Peer Review Network) service and connected up with Ben (fictitious name). We studied a lot together. That was also very important and really made a difference. (Education specialist) Mr. Jolley's advice was very good too. I used his method with every question that I did in practice and on the exam. Every single one!!! Your Prolog method was helpful too; although their questions are not representative of the test. My score this time was 146 (out of 200 =73%), which was significantly higher than the past. I can tell you also what didn't work; I went to all the other courses over the previous four years -- Osler, Columbus, Dr. Wall's, LSU -- none of them helped. Thanks again for EVERYTHING. Ok, what do I need to do now for the orals?" -- R.B., 2007

Are You Smarter Than a Board Examiner?

"This was a blast...and hugely helpful too! Dr. Sanchez was great -- her mnemonics, personal advice and explanations were WOW!!!! She gave me a logical and systematic approach to answering questions. It was also insightful to talk it out and hear how others process questions. This was my wisest investment ever." TWC April 09

"Best money I've spent yet (except for the course!!)

"Dr. Sanchez was great -- her mnemonics, personal advice and explanations were WOW!!!!

"Very good in focusing on what the question is asking and especially at deciphering between ACOG answer & clinical experience answer.

"Best $ ever spent for an exam. This was very helpful to me. In fact, I think this was the best part of the course. The questions were similar to the exam (as I have unfortunately taken it before) and explanations were detailed in all groups.

"It helped me to break down questions and approach them systematically.

"This workshop was great -- it helped to talk it out with others -- hear how they processed material. I would recommend this to anyone taking the boards.

"Her explanations of the questions helped me to see patterns and to focus on what the question is actually asking. I feel this will definitely help me get more questions correct on the boards.

"This was a blast...and hugely helpful too!
