I’m Bursting With Joy Over This Exciting News!

This week, I received great news. I passed one of my board exams. My joy was so full that I informed people who weren’t close to me. That’s what joy does to you.

Truth is, I wasn’t entirely confident I was going to ace the exams cos it was incredibly difficult. This was approximately an 8-hour exam. The first part was 4 hours of attempting 210 multiple-choice questions. It was a test of time management and thinking on your feet.

As per concepts, you either knew them or you didn’t. There wasn’t much time to figure stuff out. I had registered for the exam about a year ago. With a full-time job, I tried hard to study. It was never enough. I then resigned 6 weeks before the exam so I could study more. I studied more, but I was still concept-deficient as I entered the exam hall.

I didn’t want to postpone the exams because I was already behind schedule. All my study peers had completed their exam sets and started practicing. My BFF had asked me not to go for the exams if, while practicing, I scored below 80%. My average practice score was 60% so based on his assessment, I wasn’t ready. But I couldn’t wait to get rid of the exams. It’d been hanging over my head long before I even registered for it.

During the exam, my best questions were those about professionalism and communication. These were the areas I scored the highest and above the mean. As my friend put it, “You have completely assimilated into the system.” Maybe that’s what happens when you spend almost 2 years working in a family practice as a clinical assistant and manager.

My concept deficiency showed in questions about acute care, assessments, and diagnosis, health promotion, management, and psychosocial aspects. I spent more time on these questions, even when there was no time to spare. The exam was so mentally draining that I couldn’t think at some point. Since there was no negative marking, I chose answers at will. In retrospect, drinking water as I worked would have helped to calm my brain down.

The second part was a better experience for me. It was filling in gaps and ticking. There were more questions to time ratio. I finished and had time to review and still sat in my seat doing nothing. At the end of both papers, I was so drained. I could not smile or chat. All I wanted to do was head home, eat, and binge on Netflix. Things went exactly as planned.

What followed was 8 long weeks of expectations and prayers. I did a detox for 2 weeks. Then I got into the gamut of job search. It was exactly the 8th week at my new job; I received my news of joy.
