Dress For Success!

What should you wear on the day of the examination?  This is a question that I am often asked by residents preparing to go to Louisville.  Your apparel is important.   It should reflect your professional demeanor.  I recommend that you dress for the exam the same as you would for an interview.  Men should wear a suit or a dark color sport coat and tie.  Women should also dress conservatively.  I would avoid anything too revealing or brightly colored.  Don't try to make a unique fashion statement.  I believe that you should try to blend in with the crowd.  At the end of the day if the examiner can't remember anything about you, you are probably going to do okay.  If you are the examinee with the purple hair in a T-shirt and shorts with a large nose ring, you better really know the material to get by the extra scrutiny.
