I didn't realize Chad had NBDE prep courses! I'm really interested to hear what others have to say.
Msmouth, I was in the same boat as you when I was studying for the NBDE. I didn't want to carry around a ton of flash cards, I also don't like flipping to the back of the book. Seems like everything I did on the site was a response to what I wished I had access to while studying for my own tests and the frustrations with existing materials. I worked with a bunch of students who had just passed boards and created a bunch of questions for your board prep. To be honest with you, they aren't very popular -> though mostly because nobody knows about them. We are working with ASDA which gave us a positive review in a partnership to change that, but would really love more feedback on what you like and don't.
One thing I don't like about it is that some topics like "Dental Anatomy -> Teeth" has hundreds of questions, and it is hard to be sure you have taken all of them without doing them all at the same time, or repeating ones you have already seen. I hope to change that, but it won't be for a couple months.
I also realized a few weeks ago that there wasn't any free sections for people to check out what we have, which might have contributed to an awareness issue, I changed that so you should be able to take a peek and see if you like what you see.

Dear ajhalls3, thank you for responding. I was wondering - are you the creator of the NBDE Question Bank from CourseSaver.com - the same website that sells all of Chad's Chemistry video?
I wanted to say thank you SO much for creating this MASSIVE MASSIVE question bank for the NBDE part 1. It is the largest question bank that I have ever seen for the NBDE Part 1 - more than 5,900 questions. This is even more than Kaplan, which only has 2,000 questions.
I was wondering - looking over the questions, have you found any reports of typos or errors in the questions? How did you create such a MASSIVE question bank for the NBDE?
How long did it take for you to create this question bank?
It costs $100 dollars to pay for this question bank for 1 year access - I know that this is relatively cheap compared to other question banks such as Crack NBDE and Exam Master NBDE and Kaplan NBDE, but I was wondering if you could offer any scholarships or discounts? maybe for students who could test run this q bank?
Shoot, I forgot to update this. I was not able to do all that many, so I honestly cannot compare. I wanted to do more, but time seemed to not care how busy I was and just kept on ticking lol. That said, I cannot give much feedback on the quizzes. As far as the exam goes though, it was not all that bad, just long. Sorry I could not be of more help!!
