5. Study Break - Can You Have A Life While Studying For This Exam? with Dr. Mel McNiff


Listen Later

Is it really the 'thousand hour exam'? People will tell you that in order to pass the ED primary, you must give up your entire life to study.  Dr. Mel McNiff joins me in this episode to explain how (and why) she thought 'bugger that' and took on her first ever half-ironman triathlon at the same time as the exam. In this episode we cover the ups and downs of exam preparation, some realistic approaches to revision timetabling, what it's like preparing for a sporting event you've never done before, and how to make the work and study balance work for you.  I really loved recording this one and I think you'll enjoy listening!
