I'm going to the board tomorrow, I studied a little bit over the weekend and I'm familiar with some of the subjects. I don't have too much time left to study, what should I focus on to win this board?

For starters be able to say the creed well, and be extremely confident with your responses whether you know the answer or not.

You should not be attending the board if you are not prepared.

Are you kidding? How long have you known you were attending the board? Are you trying to make your unit look bad? Make your 1SG look bad? Your Platoon SGT, you trying to make him look bad too? What about the people who recommended you? Are you failing them? Going to the board is an honor, not a right and not something that should be taken lightly. You are sort of committed at this point. If you dont go to the board, it might look bad. But you need more time to study. You need practice. Pull your head out of your fourth point of contact and get SERIOUS. Take your career seriously and you will go far.

Quite frankly, if you are looking for an easy fix and did not take this seriously enough to put in a better effort, then you don't deserve to win.
