I figured I would make this thread seeing as there isn't any. Planning on taking part 3 in May. I've heard its pretty similar to part 2 (crozier, school medicine stuff, and watkins) so I think i'l study the same for it, except I don't want to pay for board vitals lol. Anyone else taking it?
What "hard" study guides/materials (books and such) are people using that are considered most helpful to successfully take APMLE Part 3? I know Vitals QBank and such are out there for online, I just haven't heard anything about whatever you can put in your bag without a lap top. Thoughts?
No. That's why it's such a diabolical test. You really need to prep hard for this one and expect questions on subjects you never would have guessed.
I was so stressed when I took it, but somehow, along with 99% of my fellow test takers, I was able to squeak by. Good luck to you, and may God have mercy on your soul.
FYI there are x3 NBPME/Meazure practice exams now (2×60 + 1×59 = 179 Qs total). Seems like a newer thing, so even Adam “AO Fellowship Director” Smasher may not have had these back in his dinosaur era.
Feels Part 2ish but more mgmt heavy. I’m using them as diagnostics to find weak spots, then going ham on BoardVitals.
