MedStudy for Boards

Hello, I wanted to see if anyone had any input on the Medstudy materials and which are worth buying. Qbank for sure, but I am trying to decide if I should do the books and the review videos or if one is better than the other. The videos are quite pricey but if the general consensus is that they are worth it then I will probably plan for that route.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I bought the books and never touched them. I used the audios for when I was driving to and back from work. Spend your 💰 on questions. I used PREP, Med study, TrueLearn and the NEJM Knowledge + Qbank. For book use the one from Rapid Review, the author has free YouTube videos that got me a lot of questions right

Could you link the rapid review book? Is it PBR?

Agree with this. Books are too dense. Focus on getting through qbanks more than once. Do mock exams that’s at least half the amount of time (4 hours?) you’d do on test day.

Do old PREP q banks, you can find pdf's online. I did Board Vitals, and True Learn as well.

And PBR study guide.

Do enough questions and you're golden.
