Are there any score correlates to the real exam with the practice tests from spiegal and Kenny ? Not sure how to gauge my readiness . Plan is s and k plus board vitals.

Are there K&S questions?I found K&S more difficult than the actual board exam.
I'm scoring 60% on Mypsychboard, is that enough to pass?Mypsychboard is the closet to the real thing
I passed using that source but I was getting 75 percentI'm scoring 60% on Mypsychboard, is that enough to pass?
I'd pick another qbank over BV. As I said in another thread it's been more and more disappointing as I've progressed through it. I'm hitting about 85% in BV for what it's worth.Holy sheet. I really should start studying.
Guess I'll grab board vitals in addition to spiegal to cram over the next month.
😬😬😬
Did you pass by a wide margin?I passed using that source but I was getting 75 percent
By a comfortable one. Try doing it again using single topicsDid you pass by a wide margin?
Almost done with BTB first pass and also averaging 80%. Is it just me or are there many repeats showing up?I've been doing beat the boards and averaging 80%. Anyone know if this correlates with passing based on their anecdotal experience?
What's your study plan as you get closer to the test?Almost done with BTB first pass and also averaging 80%. Is it just me or are there many repeats showing up?
BTB lectures, K&S question book, and my Anki cards from my incorrects. I will try to get through a 2nd pass using just incorrect questions only but will prioritize K&S moving forward.What's your study plan as you get closer to the test?
I did. Good for CME. Easier than the boardHas anyone tried PIPE exam?
It is written by ACP- same source who writes PRITE questions. I was told Questions are similar to real board exam.
Anyone who used it?
Do you know if similar question style appears on board exam?I did. Good for CME. Easier than the board
YesDo you know if similar question style appears on board exam?
Yes, the vignettes are harder on the exam. K and S is good for single item MCQ but need to supplement it with something else for vignettes. BTB is not really good for questions.Whats the best way to tackle these vignettes? If you don't select one correct answer, then the whole thing is wrong. It's pretty frustrating. Right now I am using K&S but have used BtB.
What is a good vignette resource?Yes, the vignettes are harder on the exam. K and S is good for single item MCQ but need to supplement it with something else for vignettes. BTB is not really good for questions.
Ive gone all in on BTB. I'm doing well, about 80% correct. Is this not enough to suggest I will pass?Yes, the vignettes are harder on the exam. K and S is good for single item MCQ but need to supplement it with something else for vignettes. BTB is not really good for questions.
No idea, but I'm hoping so! I'm at a 77% with 24% of the qbank completed. I did about 15% of the Qs before watching videos though. I got 79th percentile on the PRITE last year and my PD and chair both agreed that at least a 60%tile on PRITE was a pretty good indicator of boards. No idea if that's true or not, but I'm hoping these two metrics are holding out for me!Ive gone all in on BTB. I'm doing well, about 80% correct. Is this not enough to suggest I will pass?

Board vitals is a good study tool. Mypsychboard is the closest to the real thing.What is a good vignette resource?
Oh ok. Well, I still have time to work it out. Thanks for the response.Yes, the vignettes are harder on the exam. K and S is good for single item MCQ but need to supplement it with something else for vignettes. BTB is not really good for questions.
It is not worth starting anything new three weeks before the exam. I like their Q bank, but if it is three weeks, I would continue doing what I am doing.What was your overall experience with Mypsychboard interface. What were the cons, it is close to $400 for a 30 day access, is it worth buying it 3 weeks before the exam. Thanks

I would doubt your PD. 60 percentile on PRITE cannot pass you the boards. What number of questions is it that are right out of 300 which makes 60 percentile?No idea, but I'm hoping so!

I don't think they meant you were ready at that moment, but was a good prognostic indicator. I'm not sure.I would doubt your PD. 60 percentile on PRITE cannot pass you the boards. What number of questions is it that are right out of 300 which makes 60 percentile?

I'm pretty sure you're wrong. Fewer than 50% of people fail, so scoring higher on similar tests than 60% of people sounds pretty comfortably above the passing threshold.I would doubt your PD. 60 percentile on PRITE cannot pass you the boards.

I dont know why this didn't click sooner. You're right in that 90% pass.Right I think people forget that only around 10% of test takers fail the general boards and child psych boards every administration. It's even lower for the other subspecialty boards.

Is it sound logic to assume as long as you weren't in the bottom 20th percentile on PRITE you should absolutely pass boards?
I'm sitting here with 80% correct in Beat the boards, having scored 75-80th percentile on PRITE, still worried I'm going to be the 10% that fails.
