Why the Knowledge Exam Performance Gap (Part 1 of 5)Below is a transcription of the video (it has been edited for clarity): Many physicians who do poorly on their boards feel frustrated by underperforming on their exam in relation to their medical knowledge and confused by not knowing how to fix this performance gap.  Here I explore the first of five contributors to medical board exam underperformance and provide solutions.

Board Exam Study Procrastination - The Pass MachineI received a request from a colleague preparing for their board exam. Today I tackle this fairly common problem by explaining procrastination, its formation and treatment. Procrastination is a type of avoidance, and avoidance is a common strategy used by many to cope with unpleasant life situations and also is part of several psychiatric conditions.

Fear of Board Exam Failure

January 17, 2019 by Jack Krasuski Leave a Comment Categories: All Posts, Board Exam Tags: exam failure, jack krasuski, what if i fail my board exam

Fear of Board Exam Failure - The Pass MachineFear can make us behave in counterproductive ways, including how we respond to an upcoming medical board exam.
