[Cusom27] FW: Time Urgent: Email to Class of 2027 from CABS II Course Directors

[Pipes, Deborah A]

Good morning, Class of 2027!

Dr. Mahalik has asked me to share the email below on his behalf as well as the other CABS II Course Directors.  The message includes important information about COMLEX-USA Level 1 and the all-day exam you will be taking on the first day you return from the winter break (Friday, January 3, 2025).

Thank you!



Class of 2027,

As Block 6 wraps up and you finish this Block strongly, please note the following important items related to your board preparation and making sure you are set-up for success to take COMLEX-Level 1:


  1.  Set up an NBOME account before you leave for the winter break!
     *   You MUST have an account created to be able to take the required Review Exams (COMSAE practice tests) on January 3, 2025.
     *   NBOME Log In<https://nbomeapp.nbome.org/ords/r/nbome/portal/login_desktop?session=12558539775726>
     *   You should have received an email already from NBOME this fall regarding how to set up your account.  However, if you cannot locate this information, then click “Forgot Your Username or Password?” on the login page and use your Campbell email address to obtain this information.



  1.  Complete at least 1,300 COMBANK/TRUELEARN questions by January 3, 2025
     *   You already completed ~1,000 so this should be ~300 additional questions.



  1.  NOTE:  You will be taking an all-day exam on Friday, January 3, 2025—the first day you return from the winter break!



This exam is mandatory because it is valuable in identifying your preparedness for COMLEX at this point in your medical education.  It also gives you the “experience” of an all-day exam as you will take for Level 1.  You should use the feedback from this exam to help focus your Board prep and be more efficient with your available study time.  By targeting your studies, you should notice improvement in future diagnostic exams you will be taking in the next several months.  These are predictive of COMLEX success and provide you some understanding of your preparedness relative to taking Level 1.



So be ready and watch your emails!

     *   These will be proctored remotely, and we will send further details to you closer to January 3rd.



  1.  If applicable, request testing accommodations from the NBOME:  https://www.nbome.org/assessments/test-accommodations/
     *   This can take a significant amount of time so START now.  In addition to disabilities protected by the ADA, specific accommodations are also available to students who are diabetic and for those who are pregnant or lactating.



  1.  Attend the Board Preparation Presentation scheduled January 21, 2025, from 12:30-2:00 p.m. in Levine 202.
     *   Attendance is mandatory, and we will provide essential information on how and when to schedule your COMLEX exam, key milestones and criteria for sitting for COMLEX, and more!
     *   WAIT to register for the COMLEX until after this January meeting.
We wish you all a wonderful and safe winter break.  May you have a great start to both the New Year and your path to success on the COMLEX!

Happy Holidays,

CABS II Course Directors:  Drs. Dogbey, Hinkelman, Mahalik, and Powers



Blessings,

Debi
