Ace Your Medical Exams - Paperback

by Patsy Tremayne (Author)

How often have you put off studying because you've

had a long, tiring work shift, or you feel guilty at not

spending enough time with your family?

For many doctors, finding a study and testing program

they can stick to is an almost impossible task. Most

regimes ask too much, too often, and are invariably

too hard.

ACE YOUR MEDICAL EXAMS doesn't ask you to do the

impossible. It introduces you to the psychological

strategies and techniques designed to cultivate

peak performance and personal growth. What good

performers in any field have in common is an ability

to quickly move past the negative emotion of a failure

and learn from the experience.

The book bridges the gap between research and

practice by clearly illustrating essential concepts

with case studies, anecdotes, and examples.

Designed as an easy, do-it-yourself manual, the book

includes action plans at the end of most chapters.

There are questionnaires for you to fill in and reflect

on. You'll discover how appropriate body language

and voice tone can improve your self-confidence

and communication, as well as the perceptions of

others around you. You will learn how to use your

brain at optimal times to foster quality study and

nurture resilience, and most chapters have creative

suggestions for testing yourself on specific oral or

written exam components.

All the information is here; the how and why of

procrastination, the benefits or otherwise of study

groups, motivation (or the lack of it!) and a myriad

of study suggestions. Just choose and adapt the ideas

to fit your lifestyle.

ACE YOUR MEDICAL EXAMS helps you choose a

personal study and testing program that, while no-one

ever said it was easy, isn't intimidating
