Journals
These journals reflect my weekly experiences as an athletic training student. Each journal reflects either an actual patient contact experience, or something I am working on in my athletic training courses.
Throughout this semester, I haven’t really focused enough time on my BOC preparation. The first BOC practice test I took I did not study for at all. I had recently been studying for my exit, and I was hoping that would be good enough studying for my BOC. However, it was not because I did not pass over a score of 70. So recently, I have been studying in a BOC practice book. I have read through the review sections and took the practice questions. I felt confident when reading through the BOC book because I personally felt like the questions were easier. However, after taking this last BOC, I do not feel confident. I do not feel at this moment I am prepared enough to sit for my BOC exam. But I will feel confident soon. I am going to take this whole month and begin studying differently. I am going to read the introduction book and still continue taking practice questions out of the BOC prep book. After taking my second BOC practice test, I wrote down a lot more questions that I wasn’t 100% positive on that way I can look them up and know the correct answer to them. Last BOC practice test I did not write down many questions I didn’t feel confident about because I thought there would be a review section to know the answers. So this time I wanted to make sure the questions I wasn’t for sure on that I could go back and find the correct answer. I have also realized my worst section is therapeutic interventions. I have made a goal this semester involving therapeutic intervention to help increase my knowledge by performing different therapeutic interventions in the clinic. I am also going to be reading my modalities book for 15 minutes every night just to refresh my memory from what I have learned in the past. I want to increase my score in that domain on my BOC practice test. So my goal for this month is to score at least a 65 on that section. I want to feel prepared for my BOC, and right now I do not feel that way. However, I know I can feel that way and I am going to continue to strive for that feeling. I am going to continue working hard on reviewing every day until I take my BOC.
