To see more, check out the Question of the Day Archive Paid subscribers who used the Zuku Review to prepare for NAVLE may be entitled to a free re-subscription if they did not pass. You must verify you did not pass the NAVLE by emailing a scanned copy of your NBVME results letter to Info@Zukureview.com. We will check your records to confirm whether you made reasonable use of Zuku Review materials (ie: you accessed > 70% of the tests). If you meet these criteria, you will get access again for the same amount of time as you paid for initially. This is a one-time offer and is only valid for the next subsequent NAVLE test window. Zuku is for you if: ---You are a visual learner ---You prefer to cover several topics in one question and link to the Merck Manual ---You want to have customized tests of "My Missed Questions" There are more than 1300 unique questions in the Zuku Review and we add more every month. Each one puts images, Merck links, notes and references at your fingertips for multiple topics in one question. You go through them once in study-mode (seeing explanations as you go) and then reinforce later, in timed 60-question blocks, in test-mode (no answers), just like NAVLE.
Contact Dr. Steven I Mclaughlin at Info@ZukuReview.com We are looking for interested seniors, class of 2008 and juniors, class of 2009 Panic is not productive- try to put that aside. You made it this far, you can make it through NAVLE too. Remember- It’s not how long you study, it’s how effectively you study. Here are 3 things you can do Numero One-O Tune up on your weak spots. (Poultry, anyone ? Pigs ? Reportables ?) Break it down. There are only about 5 chicken diseases that matter. Ditto on pigs. Start there. Numero Two-O Remember Sutton’s Law “Go where the money is” 75% is passing on the NAVLE, and ~ 80% of the questions are on dogs/cats and horses/cows. Each of these key species probably has a top 20 key conditions- At least make sure you study those… Milk fever anyone? Diabetes mellitus ? Neonatal diarrhea ? Glaucoma ? Numero Three-O Focus on the top 5 points about any condition you do study, (and forget the trivia). Ie:
There is no “best way” that works for everybody but….here are some thoughts to consider. Do what the big boys do: All the big test prep companies (ie: Kaplan, Princeton Review) rely heavily on practice questions, summary notes and in-person weekend review courses that focus not only on subject matter, but also on topics like “How adults learn” and “Excelling at multiple-choice”. Take it one day at a time- Get over the nagging feeling that to really study, you need hours and hours and the silence of the library. Most of you are seniors in vet school- hours of silence aren’t part of the program. Do a Zuku Review “Question of the Day” every day and enjoy a classic cartoon from Dr. Robert M. Miller while you are at it. Each week sit down and do a Zuku Review practice test. Scan some notes. Diagnose a weak spot (say, neurology or pigs) and try to focus on three of the biggies (ie: Neonatal diarrheas in pigs, Localizing spinal cord lesions, DDX vesicular diseases….. just to name a few) For more on this, REGISTER FREE with the Zuku Review, and go to the “Test Preparation Strategies” section Sure.

You can take any study-mode test up to three times. You can take the test-mode exams twice.

But some computers have problems because they use Microsoft software, like Microsoft Internet Explorer, and the new Microsoft Vista operating system which have a lot of problems with internet applications like Zuku.

The Zuku Review ™ is a work in progress, and not everything in the world of veterinary medicine is black and white. We make every effort to reference and verify all our materials. We welcome your comments and input at Info@ZukuReview.com At the Zuku Review, we subscribe to the maxim: “ If you hear hoofbeats, think ‘Horse’ not ‘Zebra’ ”. If you only study the “zebra” topics, you will have a hard time on the NAVLE. We try to cover the most important information first, and box turtle halitosis ain’t it. The Zuku Review ™ is a work in progress, however.
