Part IV Board Review

The first portion of the Part IV Irene Gold Board Review has come and gone.  After being at school for the review all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I feel that I am much more prepared for the X-ray portion of the Board which is all we covered all weekend.  Even though it seemed like it went on forever, I felt that it was well worthwhile.  I feel that I learned quite a few things throughout that portion of the review.  In addition, I had the opportunity to brush up on a few things that have gotten a little bit rusty.  For those of you who don't know, the Part IV test is made up of two tests, clinical and x-ray.  The next part of the review starts on Thursday and goes through the weekend.  This is when we are going to cover the clinical aspect of the test.  I look forward to it (even though it is going to be another weekend of long hours and hard work).  I hope that it proves to be as beneficial as the portion of the review that I just completed.  I still don't feel that I am ready to take Part IV (I don't know if I'll ever feel completely ready), but I do feel much more prepared after just four days of the review.  It is hard to believe that the actual test is only a couple of weeks away.
