Family Physician in Arizona

Radiologist in Oregon

My experience with the coaching services provided by Dr. Linda Carr were nothing short of exemplary. As a Pediatrician preparing for my General Pediatric Certification Boards, Dr. Carr’s methods were not only effective but practical, convenient, and adaptable to a full time physician’s schedule. Dr. Carr’s approach to standardized exam preparation is to work smarter, not harder. I am very appreciative of Dr. Carr’s expertise and enthusiastically recommend her services!

Pediatrician in Texas

There aren’t enough words to describe what a wonderful experience I had with Linda as my Internal Medicine board tutor. The study tips and strategies I learned from her are invaluable, and I will use them to this day in my everyday life. She made what seemed like a very daunting task to me manageable, and I felt like I had a knowledgeable and supportive guide throughout this entire process. If you want to succeed in studying for the boards and beyond, I highly recommend her services!

Internist in California

Just wanted to share my official results with you and my passing score: 203!! What an increase from the 175 from last year. I was very pleased to see that Preventative Peds was one of my highest scoring categories, right behind Oncology! Thank you again so much for your consistent work with me, your prayers, faith, and dedication to helping me pass! I thank God for bringing you into my life, not only for helping me pass, but helping me restore my faith, dedication, and hard work ethic that I didn’t realize I had.

Pediatrician in Georgia

I have had the distinct pleasure and advantage of being coached by one of the best in the field – Linda Carr. She provided me with the opportunity to go beyond what I had dreamed possible. I was coached on a very personal level in preparation for my board re-certification. During this timeframe, she challenged me, and made me think of so much more than I thought I could initially. She challenged me to keep on task and to make and set real goals that could be accomplished. She kept me on track to the end, which was the final taking of the boards. The outcome is history, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Pediatric Pulmonologist in Arizona

During her time working for the University of Arizona College of Medicine – Phoenix campus, Linda was instrumental in helping to develop and carry out two very important programs. These included assessing and aiding struggling students and facilitating a robust city-wide faculty development seminar and workshop series. Both programs served the students and faculty extremely well in their learning and teaching roles.

Studying for subspeciality boards, particularly when you are full time clinical and have a young family, can be a daunting task. There is added anxiety when you have been unsuccessful before. Working with Linda to study provided invaluable structure, accountability, and feedback about my progress. She laid out a study schedule for me, modified it based on my progress, and provided helpful insights about learning, studying, and anxiety management that I was completely unaware of. At this stage I thought I knew how to study, and while I had gotten by in the past, this was much more efficient, and I was able to retain much more. This time taking my exam I not only passed but was well above the median. Highly recommend!

Pediatric Neonatologist in Ohio

Linda was essential in helping me FINALLY pass my pediatric cardiology boards!! I worked with Linda for about 5 or 6 months before my test with our weekly or biweekly check-ins. Each time she provided support and essential test-taking and anxiety techniques. She helped organize me to study correctly and efficiently. Before the test, I felt very confident and calm (with the anxiety techniques I learned!). She checked in with me frequently (even if for a short time) in the weeks coming up to the test to make sure I was still feeling confident and prepared. I was prepared for the test day! I would highly recommend Linda to help prepare for any big exam!

Pediatric Cardiologist in Florida

I can’t thank Dr. Carr enough and recommend her to anyone who needs any amount of support. I had failed my pediatrics boards 6 times! I had gone to all amazing schools and training programs and had been practicing as a physician but this test was just an absolute struggle for me. I did everything — from online and in person week long classes to doing thousands of questions — but what I was missing was Dr. Carr. The year I got her assistance, not only did I pass but my score jumped up 20 points! She not only is amazing at getting you motivated, but truly works individually with you to figure out how to win the battle. She checks in between sessions and truly cares about you passing the hurdle of the exam but also your well being and mental health. Wish I had known about her sooner. If you’re even second guessing using her services — don’t! Make this investment for yourself and your future and you will have zero regrets!
