Read the recommended readings
———
While this task may sound daunting because there are SO many articles our there, make sure to incorporate recommended readings into your study schedule and plan.
———
Both and have lists of recommended articles to read throughout your studying. These articles are important to read and consider because they are well researched and important topics that could come up on exam questions.
———
The way we broke up the articles is we took the list and divided them up based on their content into the sections that we were studying. That way, we only had a maximum of 4-5 articles to go through at a time, rather than reading ALL of the articles at the end of our study schedule. This was definitely helpful for us, as there were some articles that we referenced throughout our study process.

Of note: newer articles that come out at the end of 2024 or beginning of 2025 may not be tested on the 2026 exam, but they are still good to keep in mind. For example, Novak came out with a revised State of the Evidence for CP article at the beginning of 2020, but because it was so new, we knew that we would not be tested on it. We referred to her older State of the Evidence article for our exam studying, but still read through the revised version for our own clinical knowledge.
