Our class is requesting that our Pediatric exam and Systemic Disease exam before boards be postponed until after part 1 of the NBEO. Many of us feel that our time is extremely limited, thus taking the time to study for course exams is taking away from our time to study for boards, especially on top of clinic time, optical assignments, and labs. Please consider this request, as it would be in the best interest of your students' success.

The feedback I have gathered from classmates emphasizes just how difficult it is to balance clinical rotations with these upcoming course requirements. I am currently working on a formal proposal that outlines these scheduling conflicts so that the administration can review our concerns in a structured way.

Reaching this level of alignment among our classmates confirms that the pressure we feel regarding these upcoming exams is widely shared. This momentum reflects a serious need for the administration to balance our academic requirements with our preparation for national boards.

Literally cant sleep knowing these exams are right before boards. Please reconsider.
Please we are drowning right now. Just give us a break so we can focus on boards.
Impossible to juggle everything at once. This would honestly help so much.
Just need a little more time to prep. We are already stretched way too thin.
The clinic hours are killing me. Dont have enough hours in the day to study for both.
Every second counts..
