FAILED SPEX TIME FOR A MENTOR WHO KNOWS THE SPECIAL PURPOSE EXAM

Contacted by many physicians who have failed the Special Purpose Examination (SPEX) Dr. Mark Davis has helped them direct their studies to achieve a passing grade. The test is a cheat in the sense that much of the information contained in its questions are “not” drawn from day to day practice or current literature. In fact many questions would require a physician to consult their medical school notes from decades ago. SPEX literature on the market is antiquated, many times inapplicable to the current exam and specious in nature. Dr. Davis will review current questions both in content and format, direct the examinee in his/her studies and delve deep into the tests subject matter. Medical Boards do not help examinees prepare for this difficult exam. Federation of State Medical Boards, the originator of the SPEX, is also delinquent in this area. Studying with Dr. Davis is productive, bears fruit and brings the medical license you seek that much closer.
