Well that was fun. Last week found me in Houston for a 3-day prep course that was well worth the time and money. Anyone who sits for their orals without taking the course is either brilliant (and should already have passed them) or they do not possess sufficient situational awareness to get out of the rain.
The exam took place on Thursday. While it will not likely cause me PTSD (unless I flagged it), it was still a gut wrenching experience that hopefully will not need repeating. While most of the questions were straightforward, it was the complex cloaked in simplicity that trips one up. There you are, being grilled by the leaders of the specialty who in former lives must have been professional poker players. You give a brilliant answer.....nothing. You make a rookie mistake....nothing. There is no way to know, at the end of the day, whether you were outstanding or completely out-of-bounds. It will make the next two weeks partially sleepless while the results are being tallied.
