1. Board questions come from 3 books:  
• Miller (the big one you have access to through MD Consult)
• Barash
• Stoelting & Dierdorf's Anesthesia and Co-Existing Disease
2. No board question has ever come from:
• Baby Miller
• Morgan & Mikhail
3. The ABA tells you exactly what you need to spend time studying when they send you the missed keyword list each year!

Study prescription:

1. CA-1 year:  
• Read Baby Miller during the first 6 months, cover to cover
• Read Morgan & Mikhail during the 2nd 6 months, cover to cover
2. CA-2 year:
• Read Barash over the course of the year, cover to cover
• Read short and manageable subspecialty texts while on subspecialty rotations:  (eg. Norris' OB manual)
• Study each and every keyword that is sent to you in October when you get your inservice results.  Go to the section of Miller (the big one that's online) and read about each...should take 15 minutes a piece.
  
3. CA-3 year:
1. Read Stoelting & Dierdorf's Anesthesia & Co-Existing Disease during the first 6 months, cover to cover
2. Read Faust's Anesthesiology Review from January to March
3. Read Bored Stiff Too (by Gallagher and Lubarsky) in April just as a nice review
   
4. Study each and every keyword that is sent to you in October when you get your inservice results.  Go to the section of Miller (the big one that's online) and read about each...should take 15 minutes a piece.
5. By May you should know exactly what your strong and weak points are. Spend the next 2 months reading up on your weak topics in Barash or Miller.
4. And that's it!  If you do this and you do NOT improve your inservice scores each year and you do NOT pass the boards on your first try, there's something inherently wrong with how your brain is wired, and you should submit an application for employment at McDonald's.
