 Hello, everybody. Andrew Mayeski here with Dental Health Tutoring. So how do you know if you are truly prepared to take the board exam, meaning are you going to pass? Nobody wants to take the board exam and feel like they're not confident, feel like they're unprepared, feeling like, well, there's no point taking it because I'm just going to feel anyway. That is the worst thing to think, okay? A lot of students, it is normal to be nervous. So keep that in mind. It's normal to be nervous. But I will teach you guys how to prepare the best way possible. The best thing to do is to study every day, two to six hours every day. If you work full-time, obviously six hours might be harder to do, but at least two hours because I want you guys to constantly be thinking. Board exam, constantly be thinking about your, you know, textbook notes, whatever, study something. Even if you just have a textbook, you just simply open up to chapter 10. Read that chapter. At least do something every single day. If you are a student in my board exam prep academy, you don't actually have to open up your textbooks. You can just go through all of the notes, the modules, one by one. So it's a lot easier to study in a more organized way that way. But if you're not a member, that's okay. It is totally fine to just read through all of your notes, all of your textbooks. Always be doing something every single day. Another thing, make sure to take mock exams because even if you're studying a topic, you might think you know everything about that topic, but unless somebody's asking you questions or you're taking a mock exam to really see if you truly know the material, if it's being asked in a different way, you don't know. That's the only way to truly know is to take mock exams and take case studies. If you need help, I have tons of those because that's the best thing to do. Constantly be doing that so that way you know for sure you actually do know what you're trying to study. Plus, I do have September 1st, I have a board exam bootcamp coming up. So if you're kind of feeling like, oh shoot, I need to take mock exams, I need to do case studies, I can help you because you will come on a full hour live with me. All mock exams, all case studies. If you come with me, I talk through what you have to know for the board exam and I go through, as I said, mock exams and case studies and they're pretty hard. They are tricky questions, but if you do well on those, you know you can pass because I will talk through all of the different topics you have to know for the board exam. So if you do need help, let me know, I can leave the link for you guys on the bottom because I have been tutoring for about 14 years now, almost 15 years, if you don't know me yet and I do do it all online. Anyway, so other things to help you. As I said, please study every single day, lock yourself in a room somewhere to really make sure to read and understand what you are studying. A little tip is, let's just say you're just simply opening up a textbook to read a chapter. Do not expect to read it once and know everything, that's not normal. It would be nice, but it's not normal. So read, let's say chapter 10 and you don't know how much you have actually retained until you go back and read it a couple hours later. So you may have to read it two, three, or four times. But after the third time, you should start to pick things up because things that you have read the third time, you did read the first time, but you didn't really pick them up. So you need to go through notes, textbooks over and over and over again to really understand, do not expect to learn everything right away. And please take mock exams, please take case studies. Don't stop studying, that's very important. It is okay to take time off. It is the summer, I totally understand. But don't take too much time, make sure to study. If you are able to have somebody ask you questions, that helps too. If you need help, I can help with my members. We do have a group online and we ask questions all the time because that will help to keep your brain on and always thinking board exam. I know it sucks, but you do have to always think board exam. So thank you guys, hopefully this helped. I will leave the link for you guys on the bottom if you would like to be a part of my board exam. Oh my gosh, so many words today. Sorry guys, I've been teaching like so much. But it will be September the 1st for a full hour mock exams, case studies, critical thinking. And you will be sent all of those powerpoints afterwards too, which is awesome. So you will have so much, like pretty much a big package of things to study online. But it will be perfect. You will be confident in passing the board exam. Thank you for listening you guys. Good luck, happy studying and I'll see you very, very soon.
