"was pretty behind going into the WQE and only really started grinding like 6 weeks out. the mistake review feature on ophthalmology-board-exam.com is what saved me, kept flagging the same retina questions i kept blowing. passed first try, still surprised tbh."

"honestly went in pretty skeptical of these prep sites after residency burned me out on studying in general. but the practice questions on anterior segment stuff actually mirrored the real exam format close enough that i wasnt caught off guard. glad i didnt just wing it."

"did full length mock exams on the weekends leading up to test day, helped alot with pacing since 5 hours is brutal. also the analytics showed my glaucoma section was weaker than i thought which forced me to actually fix it instead of assuming i knew it. passed comfortably."
