What’s Actually Tested on the ABPTS Oncology Exam (and What to Stop Studying)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Many oncology physical therapists default to studying EVERYTHING when preparing for the ABPTS Oncology Exam. It feels responsible...but this often leads to overstudying, decision fatigue, and unnecessary stress.
You'll hear why overstudying is so common, how it undermines your confidence, and why prioritization is a skill that matters more than volume.
In this episode, we cover:
• Why “studying everything” feels safe but actually backfires
• How decision fatigue affects confidence
• The difference between responsibility and prioritization
• Why clarity beats volume during exam prep

If you want a structured way to get started on your ABPTS oncology case report, I'm hosting a LIVE writing sprint later this month where we'll work through this together.
