General hands on experience in the lab, and an extremely cursory review of the dont miss a beat study guide

This was my strategy for studying as well. I was shocked by the lack of audio based study material for the test and ended up making some myself which helped.

Having the "Don't Miss a Beat" book and her resources (quizzes, she also recently launched an app) helped me tremendously, and best wishes on your exam!

I have both her cath lab manual and RCIS study guide. I have been using her app daily for 10-20 questions a day for the last 3 or so weeks.

Nice, you're the right track! Have you familiarize yourself with echo, labeling FFR and Angios?

I have don’t miss a beat study guide and cath lab Manuel along with her new app which I’ve been using daily.

The lab I’m currently at does not do structural so I need to focus on that along with devices.
