Okay, welcome. My name is Devine. This is episode 400 of the Devine

Intervention Podcasts. And into this podcast we will be discussing a topic that I call get your head in the game.

Get your head in the game. In this podcast I'll be discussing the psychological aspects of doing well on test day.

And I'm grateful to God, you know, that we've got into episode 400. It's been a long journey so far, but I'm grateful for the journey

that we've traveled so far and the journey ahead. And thank you to those that have

been listening to this podcast. I'm really grateful. I hope you'll find this podcast to be helpful and I hope that you find it to be

something that blesses your life. So with that said let's just get right into it. So the

thing is you see many people the, you know, you get into

med school and I guess maybe this podcast is going to apply to the

M-cat you get into med school, you'll go through your first two years of med school, and then you're taking your USMLE exams. You've gone through your

preparing for your test and then you get to game day.

You get to game day. You get to game day and

that game day ends up being a very important day.

Because you see some people,

I read this all the time on the internet, they've done all this prep, they've crushed all their

practice exams, and then on test they just completely fall apart. Or you see

people that they're doing really well, but just on exam day is almost like something just flips in their brains and they just underperform.

Or you see people, they keep postponing their test days because they're just afraid to take the exams.

They just have so much anxiety associated with the process.

And I can understand why people will feel that way.

Because these exams are very high-stakes exams.

They have very profound consequences and repercussions if you don't do well on them.
