Test-Taking Misses or Knowledge Misses — What’s Derailing Your Scores on Medical Boards?
For the Ask STATMed podcast miniseries, we dig into the most common questions we get asked about studying and board-style test-taking in medical school. In Part 2, we look a little deeper into the nature versus nurture discussion and determine how to tell if a missed question on a test or medical board exam is from a test-taking miss or a knowledge miss. In this episode, we explore specific test-taking issues like working memory limitations and the binary test=taking mentality.
“My view is test-taking methods, won't cover or bridge these knowledge gaps. Test-taking does not hack the test. Test-taking is about cleaning up the user interface so you can clearly show what you know, but you have to know enough. And that's addressed, through augmented streamlined study methods.” - Ryan Orwig
