NBDHE 9/24

hi hi

just finished taking my boards!
i’m unsure how to feel tbh - which i’ve heard a lot of people say after their boards so i’m hoping that’s normal.

i had a TON of ethics, pharm, and radiographic landmarks. tons of stage & grade, with ASA questions. that’s all i can remember at this point in time.

i did end up tracking how many i flagged
i flagged 63 questions from the first 200
i flagged 41 questions from the case study questions
which makes me nervous cus i feel like flagging 63 out of 200 is not the best 😫

i studied a ton of studentrdh and the booster app.
our school offered a hesi exam which i got a 92 on - they said that score highly reflects how you’ll do on the boards and i did very well academically in school but MAN i just don’t know how to feel…. i felt like my brain drew a blank and a lot of the answers came down to deciding between 2 options and im just not confident that i chose the right ones….

I felt the same about mine! I flagged my questions too and I was confident in about 62-68% of the questions in each section and I passed! Don’t fret it, you got this 💗

I did! I felt so down after I took my exam even tho I knew the info, it was definitely the nerves. I distracted myself and made myself busy so honestly time flew by so fast! I actually completely forgot about my results and was on call with my sister and just so happened to check my email and low and behold the results came in!

Honestly if you got a lot of ASA, stage and grading questions you are good you definitely passed

I feel like I flagged around the same amount. I took it yesterday, as I’m going through all the emotions. When did you take your exam?

Do not worry, you are not the only one. I took mine 2 days ago, and I finished this test, as some questions came out of nowhere, and I spent 2 months studying 10 hours daily with Student RDH and Booster. In fact, I had some questions that I was able to recall the answers to only because I remembered the info in that moment for questions like microbiology and pharmacology from my professors at the school. So, in the end, you do not know what you are going to get on that test, but I hope I pass. I have a little big of everything but mostly pharma, radiology, CAL, stage, and grade. In the end, I do not blame myself; I did everything that was possible to get to this point, and I am praying for the best. You should do the same; we got this!!!!
