Anatomy shelf exam

[boxohm]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good review book for the anatomy shelf exam. Several people have suggested BRS Gross Anatomy, but I was wondering if HY Gross Anatomy would be enough, it's shorter and I prefer the format, I would like to know if it is enough.

Thanks!

You can probably use whatever you want to review if you did well in class, but definitely use the questions in BRS. I used BRS exclusively and gross anatomy was my best shelf score by far.

id go with the above poster I guess. i used greys anatomy review
(that green book) but I wouldn't say it was spectacular. I dont think there was really a general consensus in my class about what source was best. Also do those NMBE practice questions, the 20 free
ones they have for free, cause they're most like shelf questions

I used Rapid Review...............thought it was good.

Just took the exam........it was tougher than expected but manageable.

UMich practice questions + reading the answer explanations. That's all I did last year and the questions on the shelf were pretty similar to the practice ones.

I could not tolerate reading through BRS or RR (both were very dry reads), so I did this instead. A lot more "fun" while still reviewing high yield stuff. If you prefer reading a review book, RR felt easier to read through than BRS did. Best of luck!

I heavily relied on lecture notes and netters. Also, I spent a lot of time in the anatomy lab with the cadavers.

Here is a video on youtube that provides a suggestion on how to study for the anatomy shelf.

Forgot to mention I did the Michigan questions after each chapter.
