Failed my boards exam

Hello! I’m feeling very discouraged since I failed my boards exam yet again. I am trying to be determined to pass it! Is there any resources, tips, study tools, or any advice that could help me pass the exam that helped you? Or any specific topics I should really be focusing on? It seems like the pictures I have a difficult time (literally the worst pictures I’ve ever seen). Any feedback or help would be nice…Thank you!

FNA report and us report swollen neck lymph node

This is my wife's cytology report and her neck and axilla ultrasound report.

10 out of 13 slides were normal. 3 slides had 1 or 2 atypical cells on each.

Oncologist gave us 2 weeks for monitoring.

Did ct scan in april chest and abdomen, it was clear.

Just wanted to know should we be worried.

Note: in feb 2023 she had mastectomy with axilla lymph node removed for TNBC. Axilla were clear in histopathology report.

Her chemo was completed in sept 2023. She was decleared cancer free.
