HOW I STUDIED
1- I Read the Study guide
2- I answered ALL Board Wizards didactic questions (flagged incorrect questions, went back
to review those at the end).
3- I did all Board Wizards CBPS cases (for the CBPS sections, it's all about practice )
4- I took BoardsBlast course to learn the techniques on how to approach the exam
5- Throughout the study guide and at the end I’m providing high yield points that ABFAS
likes to test!!! (Make sure to read over those high yield notes)
6- Please do not share the study guide.
7- Good luck!
