| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to episode 136 of the physician assistant exam review podcast. Today we're going to be doing neural developmental conduct and eating disorder. So ADHD, Autism, Spectrum Disruptive Impulse Control Conduct Disorder, and then we're going to hit eating disorders with anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating. My name is Brian Wallace. I'm the host and creator here at Physician Assistant |
| 0:30.9 | Exam Review, where I've been at this desk for almost 15 years now, amazingly helping |
| 0:35.2 | PA students get through school, get the most out of school, |
| 0:43.3 | and pass their pants with as much confidence and, let's call it ease as possible. That's really the goal here. With that in mind, this weekend over Labor Day, I built a test-taking rescue kit, |
| 0:50.1 | 100% free. It's set-ups that you can learn to work on your pacing, to learn about taking |
| 0:56.1 | microrest throughout your exam to make it so that you can actually blink and get a break so you |
| 1:00.4 | can hold up during that exam. What I think about flagging in particular, why I think it's a trap |
| 1:05.9 | and a mistake for 99.9% of the time. And then I go into the two types of test takers and which one are |
| 1:14.3 | you in helping you figure that out so you can apply some of these tools. And lastly, we wrap it up |
| 1:19.1 | with the five mistakes you absolutely can't make. This is designed to help you get more points |
| 1:24.5 | on your next exam without any more studying. You can pick that up at physician assistant exam review.com backslash test taking kit. |
| 1:33.0 | You just drop in your email there. |
| 1:34.7 | And real quick, it'll turn around and give you access to the test taking rescue kit. |

We're going to move into disruptive impulse control and conduct disorders. Then we're going to hit eating disorders. Let's get started with our priming questions. These to me are good setups for how questions are going to come. We're going to do our priming questions. We're going to go through our content. We're going to answer our priming questions. And then we're going to do some pants questions like we've been doing. I think that's been going really well. And it'll help you to see how all this ties together for the thing you have to do, which is take a test on this subject material. So many people inside the 33 days, September cohort, are talking to me about how they are fantastic with |
| 2:19.4 | their patients loved by their preceptors but are just struggling to get the game of test taking. |
| 2:24.7 | So it's one of the reasons I put that kit together and one of the reasons why I do this show the way that I do. |
| 2:28.2 | All right. So what age must symptoms begin for a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? What age must symptoms begin for a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? |
| 2:37.5 | What age must symptoms begin for a diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder? |
| 2:41.6 | What behavior is required for a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder? |
