      When reviewing the recommended articles, do I need to know the title and authors or just the population and results to apply to cases? I don’t want to spend time studying it if I just need to know how to apply the studies.

      I believe the population and applicable results. I don’t think we need to memorize authors and titles.

      Correct, Julia! I wouldn’t spend time memorizing titles, authors, or even specific stats – if you know the overarching themes from the literature, you will likely be good to go for the exam! There will be some questions on the test that throw you off because of their detail. A handful of questions won’t make or break you, and the time you’d spend trying to prepare for each of those questions would likely detract from studying larger concepts that will comprise a bigger portion of the exam.
