This shelf was significantly different than what I had predicted. Typically, I feel like I know the kinds of questions that will be on the shelf - but these questions seemed totally different and more nitpicky, and almost none of the bread and butter stuff I was expecting. I honestly thought I failed walking out - and I want to do peds and thought like I worked really hard, so I was pretty upset.

Ended up with a 93, 99%tile for my quarter. I have no idea how that happened.

I used Case Files and Pretest. Tried blueprints, but didn't make it through much of it. I also used the Illustrated Textbook of Paediatrics as a reference, which I thought was good, but not in depth enough for my needs.
