1 – Analyze Your Weak Points
If you know where you struggled with most in the last board exam you can hone in on intaking as much information as you can retain. These don’t need to just be areas you did pool on previously, but could also be ones that could be further reinforced. Try out My Psych Board’s customizable tests that zero in on your most missed questions!
2 – Focus On The NOW
The past is the past, there’s no point in going back! The only way to move in a positive direction is forward. Learn from your mistakes and how you can apply what you’ve learned for better-guaranteed results. If you stay focused on past failure it’s only going to bring negativity and additional stress to your study sessions.
3 – Create A Plan
When studying it’s essential to make the most of your time. Create a plan tailored to your needs. Before you can even begin studying you need to make sure you have all the resources you need. Organize items into folders, check you have all the materials you need, and tidy up your study spot.
4 – Utilize Detailed Questions Banks (like ours here)

Group Studying VS Self Studying (Which is better?)
/in Board Prep, StudyingStudying alone vs with a group is just a personal choice right? Well not exactly… 🤔 It turns out that studying can actually be MORE effective than when alone & have other pros!
🥰 When in a group…
– You’re held more accountable to study.
– You can feel more motivated as the topics will seem less mundane.
– Human interactions can lower your stress and anxiety levels.
– You get an extra rewarding feeling when answering questions correct (since others are there to praise you)
– Share various techniques (you might find something NEW that works better for you!)
– You can test each other so it’s not just constant question review.
– You will ensure you’re not missing any subjects.
– You will have a higher chance of staying more organized.
– You won’t be the only one providing info, others can take the load off of you.
– Best of all, you may build and create new long lasting friendships! You’re all going through the same things…it will bring you closer together!
Now of course with any positive comes the negative so be careful… studying with others can lead to more distractions, side conversations, and procrastination ❌ If at any point the studying isn’t working make sure you make adjustments as needed.
But hey…If you’ve never tried a group setting give it a shot!…it can be the great start of fun times after you study!

How To: Create the PERFECT Morning Routine to maximize your success!
/in General, Health and WellnessStarting off the week on the right foot can completely change how your week plays out!
This is a KEY part in helping you pass your boards. If you wake up, rush around, and fill your morning with stress it’s most likely that your day will be filled with stress. It can feel like a marathon if you just wake up and jump into the day. That will then hurt your odds of having a successful study session.
Studies from @Forbes show that waking up earlier than usual has incredible health benefits. They state it gives you ample time to focus on your goals and conquer the day with more energy, mindfulness, and strength.
✨ Here are some helpful tips we’ve complied after doing some additional research!
• Let’s start with the obvious..get a good night’s sleep…you need to be RESTED for your brain to function properly.
• Avoid the snooze button!
• Instead of snoozing, wake up a few minutes earlier and give yourself enough time to wake up. You can Lay in bed for a few minutes and ease out of bed.
• Write down your thoughts! This could be a to do list for the day, or just general thoughts. Talking about your stressors on paper can also help relieve them.
• Eat something, your brain needs nutrition. Even if it’s something small!
• Do something you enjoy, this could be working out, going for a quick walk, reading a book and so on!
• Drink a full cup of glass of water before you leave the house (or start working/school if you do it remotely from home).
• Don’t rush! Give yourself enough time. If you know you have to leave by a certain time try and be ready 10-15 minutes before that and make sure you have everything you need.

/in GeneralMy Psych Board vs. “The Others…” who do you choose?
There are a lot of brands you can choose from, but we’re here to help ensure you pick the right one!
We’ve taken time this past week to dive deep into our competitors and give an unbiased opinion on what separates us from the rest… Now we know that it may seem we would only want to toot our own horn but after looking into everyone the choice is night and day…
So..why choose us?
—

• Content curated by industry professionals

When we dove into each brand we looked at several areas: Web content, navigation, accessibility, speed, and the actual question bank roll out.
“The Others”
When it comes to speed, the others average performance score of 22/100..oof… The pages are cluttered, finding the specific question banks to purchased are confusing, and the mobile experience was incredibly poor. We also utilized Googles “Core Web Vital Assessment” feature and found that most brands FAILED this on mobile.. how can you trust them to help you pass the boards if they can’t pass their own assessments…
With us, you’ll find an average performance score of 93/100, passed Core Assement, and great content. Each section of content is is to the point, easy to navigate, and gives you a streamlined experience. If you ever have questions or need a hand, you can always reach out to us!
We’re the only brand that also focuses on other areas of content! Our social media focuses on studying tips, studying experiences, practice questions, real life uses and much MUCH more. With our blog you can dive deep into various learning areas and expand on topics seen on our socials!
