What are people using now to study for the ABR CORE/certifying/subspecialty exams? Can anyone rank questions banks from best to worst usefulness for exam? There are so many out there. Any other tips.
 
Neurorad here.

For certifying, I did board vitals, re-read 'A Core Review: Neuro", and did Sulcus. Board vitals was kinda meh. It wasn't particularly hard, which but was reflective of the difficulty of the "essentials of radiology" portion of the test. I guess it was nice for seeing questions in other areas of neuro. Sulcus was garbage. Most of the material it focused on was esoteric. The "A Core Review: Neuro" book was solid and I reread it again for the Neuro CAQ.

The questions I recommend to all of my students studying for the Core/Certifying/CAQ exams are from the Core Review Series.
 
rad primer for core, same questions 2 years later for certifying. no books, just questions.
 
For neuroradiology caq, I skimmed the neuro section in crack the core. Seemed like enough.

For reference, I have been doing mostly general rads and have not been doing much high end neuro.
