I actually made this post originally in the clinical rotations subforum but there isn't much action there and this seems to be a pretty specific question that I would guess most students who don't want to do radiology would not encounter so I thought I might have better luck here.
I'm doing an elective radiology rotation right now and I guess at the end of the rotation I have to take a test that sounds very similar to a standardized shelf called the AMSER standardized exam. Its not affiliated with my school like my other shelfs have been (the doc I'm with is having us take it, not my school) but I think its just a standardized 120 multiple choice exam that gives you a raw score and percentile to compare you to everyone else just like a shelf.
My doc hasn't given me much info about it and I was just wondering if anyone else here has taken it and if so, what resources did you use to study for it. For all my other shelf exams I've mainly used practice questions to prepare and I know there are countless images online to look at but I'd like to have some sort of qbook/bank that I could use as well. I'd also love to know the format of the exam and what type of questions to expect.
And then along those same lines, at my school if you do well on a shelf (>85th percentile) it goes in your deans letter. Anyone know if something like this would count as a shelf for that same purpose?
