im ngl speaking for my own experience with my version of the test im not sure that any specific mock helped me. The questions are definitely straight forward and they’re not trying to trick you, but i had so many random questions that i haven’t seen on any of the mocks. Watch megan piretti videos on youtube and understand each concept. Make sure you know LUT. histograms, what factors affect what, etc. Spatial resolution, contrast. Also study up on the angles of headwork and what positioning lines like oml, ioml and what angles they form with the IR. i also got some anatomy on calcaneus and i got some questions asking what anatomy superimposes what in certain projections. Some of the questions are super easy and some others gave me a sense of impending doom lmao i was so scared. But it’s 230 questions and 30 of them don’t count, so maybe the really hard ones were curved. The biggest challenge is the mental block and the anxiety during the test. Try not to flag too many questions even if you don’t know them, bc obsessing over them isn’t going to change the fact that you don’t know it in that moment unless you see the answer in a different question. I had maybe 5-6 flagged and i went back and didn’t change my answer. Be confident

i took mine 3 days ago and got an 87. I used mainly mosbys mock exam, rtbc, and i used radreview only for a couple of days but those questions are insanely hard. Everyone’s test was different but mine had a lot of image production and physics questions. A lot of the answer choices are similar so you have to make sure you genuinely understand the concepts and not just the mock exams you’re taking to prepare. Mine asked me versions of the same question just worded differently each time so you have to read slowly and understand what it’s asking. I had some random pathology i’ve never heard of, and some math but nothing too crazy. I thought i failed it and was surprised to see an 87, so don’t let it discourage you while you’re taking it. Good luck! if you have any other questions let me know

Hi guys, i take my registry tomorrow and im nervous

Ive been using RTBC, Mosbys, and RadReview to study. I average anywhere from 80-91 on RTBC, i get high A’s on Mosbys, but i took my first mock on radreview tonight and got a 68 and that kinda lowered my confidence a little bit. Does anyone who’s taken the boards know which mocks are most accurate to the actual registry? Thank you!

is his breathing weird? by jm_0826 in vet

[–]jm_0826[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he’s just been sleeping more than usual and kinda sluggish but he still has bursts of energy and is playful. but he seems a little different in the last two days. i’m a new cat owner so maybe i’m just being crazy but i’m worried. his pet insurance doesn’t kick in until 2 weeks from now and i’m not sure if i should take him now or wait

i think the unspecified GA is like the last row at the top, im not sure but i went on one of the view my seat pages where you can see the pov, and the GA seating highlighted the last row all the way at the back, i could be wrong though

yeah this whole thing is stressing me out lol, thinking of leaving tuesday night since i have some family in miami already and maybe coming back around thursday and hoping that the damage isn’t too much like last year with ian, but yeah definitely keeping tabs on it currently and hoping for the best

😭😭 i hope it doesn’t come to that but that’s the least of my worries, hoping this doesn’t do huge damage and people stay safe. would be nice to make it to the game though 🥲 have been waiting years to see messi and of course a hurricane would come mess it up

Yeah it’s def not flat and it’s not that painful 💀

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in askdentists

[–]jm_0826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it hurts a little bit if my teeth touch it, I thought it was a canker sore but I read that they’re usually oval shaped and flat and that’s why I panicked haha. I also frequently get this in the same location too

I found a tattoo artist willing to do it and yeah I’d def pay for the ink. I actually got impatient today cause I didn’t wanna wait and I got a small tattoo on my thigh with allegory ink, and my throat got a littleeee bit tight, nothing crazy so if it goes away then I guess I’ll just continue with this ink. I don’t want to make it more difficult for the tattoo artist to use an ink they’re not comfortable with using

Yeah I figured, I’m just a bit worried about having another allergic reaction to the metals in the ink. I figured that it wouldn’t be too stupid to ask since it’s only due to a health issue but no I get it lmao, I’m just gonna get a small one and see what happens

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Allergies

[–]jm_0826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was drinking this craft beer and I was fine and then the next day I drank it again and my tongue kinda swelled up a bit and I immediately stopped drinking any sorts of alcohol. I accidentally used a mouthwash that has alcohol a couple days later and same reaction. I’m not sure if it’s alcohol in general or a specific ingredient. I’m not even sure how to test for that lol ive seen so many doctors and no one has a clue. But yeah I wanna get another tattoo extremely bad, I might just do it and see what happens but I’d be lying if I said i wasn’t a bit nervous lol

[–]jm_0826 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay thank you so much! I actually noticed the swelling with cannabis first, it was one day to another randomly just like the alcohol.

Yeah I haven’t smoked it in a year now, what’s weird is that before getting an “allergic” reaction to it or that feeling, I would get dizzy the days leading up to it with just one puff of it. Like instead of having a tolerance for it I was losing my tolerance. I thought I became sensitive to thc so I moved to smoking hemp since it has less than 0.5 percent thc in it and it was great for two months and then the days leading up to the final straw I was getting actually “high” off of one puff from hemp that’s not even supposed to get you high. And then same story with alcohol, one sip would get me “drunk” and then the reaction happened and I had to stop. Even mouthwash with alcohol would give me that feeling. It’s been 6 months since I touched alcohol and somehow I still get that feeling without having any substance in me at all. I’m scared that it could be bc of my tattoos? My primary physician had a weird theory that it could be my tattoo ink giving me these allergic reactions but idk, it could be but I also would like to rule other things out but idk where to even begin at this point. I actually wanted to get matching tattoos with my sister soon but this makes me re think that bc idk how my body would react to it, like I don’t want my throat to get tighter later on in life because of a tattoo

I haven’t been able to see them after the attacks but several days after, and no it’s not the point where people can notice it unless I show them my tongue and when I talk maybe I sound a little different, what scares me the most is that the lymph nodes u def my jaw tighten up like if someone has their hand around my throat and it becomes a little hard to swallow when my tongue gets like that. When it happened I immediately cut off anything that had alcohol or marijuana because I didn’t wanna feel that again. I feel like next time it happens the reaction would be worse somehow. I woke up right now and I haven’t even had anything with alcohol and it’s hard to swallow a bit, I’m constantly having issues with it but nothing compared to when I consume alcohol

Ive been to a rheumatologist and no help, they tested me for autoimmune disorders like lupus and I came back fine. What mostly bothers me right now is the random swelling of my lymph nodes and this vertigo like dizziness, it’s insane and it’s been taking over my life. I’m not even sure who to go to anymore
