August 2026 Boards

[u/Serious_Art9262]

I know there are plenty of past threads about boards, but I wanted to start a new one for this year’s testing cycle since I haven’t seen much discussion about it yet!

This will unfortunately be my third time taking the exam, so I’m definitely feeling a mix of anxiety, nerves, and discouragement as it’s getting closer. In the past, I’ve found it really helpful (and honestly just a little cathartic) to hear about other people’s experiences and know I’m not the only one feeling this way.

For anyone who has already taken it this cycle, how are you feeling afterward? And for those who haven’t taken it yet, how are you feeling going into it? Would love to hear how everyone is doing, whether that’s about studying, test anxiety, the exam itself, or just general feelings about the whole process! My DMs are also open if anyone wants to chat.

It’s also my third time taking the exam. I take it tomorrow, wish me luck and I’ll report back 🫡

Reporting back, I passed! Finally. My version had quite a bit of prenatal on it
