2/3/2019 0 Comments Reflective Journal #3As we prepare for the BOC, I am feeling very encouraged. Last semester, I didn’t specifically do BOC preparation, so the first practice test went extremely well for me. I increased my scores in each domain except for one. I have been very intentional about growing in domain 4 because I was not in the least satisfied with my score in it last year, and it was nice to see that the work I put in is really paying off. As for right now, I am trying to focus on the material that I don’t have to recall often while in the clinic - equipment fitting, different types of budgets, specific numbers for range of motion, etc. Additionally, I want to revisit rehabilitation progressions to ensure that I am confident in those before I sit for the exam.
Today, we took our second practice BOC exam of the semester, and I am feeling even better than earlier in the week. Today, my overall score increased by 4%, and my domain four score entered into the 90% range. This was about a 20% jump from my last domain 4 score, which was extremely encouraging to me; however, I do feel as if these rehab questions were much more straightforward than they have been previously. What was slightly disappointing was my domain 2 score. It dropped down to 66%, which is the lowest I have received in this domain since we started taking these tests. The questions that fit into this domain covered a much larger variety of injuries and illnesses than before, which included many more neurological conditions that I am not as familiarly with.This decrease in score allowed me to get a greater understanding of what conditions I need to review to not only pass the BOC, but to be a great clinician. These practice tests are by far my favorite way to study for the BOC, but I do also like asking questions while faced with a real life situation in the clinic. I feel like the more practical the situation, the more likely it is that I will retain the information. Additionally, it is encouraging when I see test questions on topics where I have conducted research in the past and have retained the information that I found and read about. I feel like if I continue doing these three things, along with continuing my review of therapeutic modalities, rehab progressions, and anatomy, then I will have confidence when going into the BOC exam in March.
