The test is less than 2 weeks away and I am excited and nervous! Most of my students are excited and nervous as well, maybe more nervous. The best tip I can give for the exam is to stay calm. If you panic you shut off the logical part of your brain and then you cant think or access all the knowledge that you have spent so hard accumulating! Controlling your breathing is the best way to remain calm. Please click the link below for a great Youtube video on breathing and enjoy! For more tips please see the 2017 Q and A session. Esmond

Hello I have been informed that some of the links are not working on the 2013 resource page. They should be public and anyone should be able to download then. I am currently trying to fix them. If you notice any other errors please email me at cdestudycourse@gmail.com
April 15 update
Hello everyone I have added a 2013 guideline resource page. Remember that the May exam is only on the 2013 guidelines not the newly released 2018 guidelines.
April 10 Update
Just a reminder that ALL test questions from the May exam will come from information before February 1 2018 (the deadline for the exam). The exam will focus on the 2013 guidelines. There will be NO questions from the 2018 guidelines. I will post the old guidelines and the presentations on the website this weekend. It will be up until the end of the exam and then will be taken off. Thanks

Feb 25 update!
Hello, everybody. After some feedback I have decided to switch to a different model of payment. Most people are requesting that they be able write the exam twice but at different times. Currently my model is that you can write unlimited times in 48 hours. I am going to switch to a model where people can write the exam twice in whatever time period they want. For me to do that I will need to take the site offline for 24 hours. I apologize for any inconvenience that may cause. Thanks

December update!
Hello everyone, both the practice examinations are almost updated and I’m putting the finishing touches on the pathophysiology lectures. I am also adding a forum so that you can communicate with hundreds of other exam writers as you study. Ive also added a monthly case page to discuss interesting cases with other exam writers. I’m hoping to have everything ready by January 8 2018. If you have any questions feel free to email me at cdestudycourse@gmail.com.
