Firstly, it should almost go without saying, but: you can do this. I’d also like to acknowledge that nothing below is particularly noteworthy or novel advice. The Core Exam is like the other high-stakes multiple choice exams youve taken except for the fact that it has more pictures. And, of course, the question of how to pass the Core Exam after a failure is mostly the same as asking how to pass it in the first place.

What is quality care, and how do you define it? I suspect for most people that quality is like pornography in the classic Supreme Court sense you know it when you see it.
