Did anyone compare these two options to see which is more relevant for the board? My institution is considering buying one for the residents and is unsure if one is more beneficial than the other.

Yes, BTB has a group discount coupon. You just have to put your name on the list. Mypsychboard posts coupons on FBIs any of them offering coupons?
Did you try their PRITE Question bank?I tried both. Mypsychboard is a way better question bank but they do not have lectures which BTB does.

Do you have a link to the BTB discount group list? I would like to join in!Yes, BTB has a group discount coupon. You just have to put your name on the list. Mypsychboard posts coupons on FB
There is another link for BTB and people are adding their name. They have the course for half price off if you are part of the subscription group. MyPsychBoard posted a coupon on psych network Facebook group for 30 percent off using MBP30OFF. I decided to try both for the board.Do you have a link to the BTB discount group list?

I did not do their prite q bank. I learned about mypsychboard ABPN q bank during last year of residency from the prior batch of residents who took the test.Did you try their PRITE Question bank?
I agree. I am getting anxious waiting for board scoresMy psych board is great question bank with videos similar to that in the board exam
So many new members chiming in about how great this question bank is. 🤔
The only reason is that some programs require a good a PRITE score to allow moonlightingWhy anyone would pay for a PRITE qb is beyond me. The exam doesn't have any real meaning unless there's a program requirement and PRITE Ninja is free and pretty comprehensive anyway...

I second that. I have been scoring 55 percent in mypsychboard. Not sure if that is enough to pass the real thingmypsychboard is a great source of questions with difficulty that tends to be a bit harder than BTB/some of the other question banks
If you score 65 percent on my psych board you should be good to goI second that. I have been scoring 55 percent in mypsychboard. Not sure if that is enough to pass the real thing
I hope I improve my score before the ABPN!If you score 65 percent on my psych board you should be good to go
Anyone tried Mypsychboard for their ABPN test? I heard good stuff but not sure if it is as good as other resources.I hope I improve my score before the ABPN!
I tried it. Content is great. Video vignettes are closest to the real thing.Anyone tried Mypsychboard for their ABPN test? I heard good stuff but not sure if it is as good as other resources.
I did the vignette section and q bank from psych genius. It’s good practice but nowhere near the quality of Mypsychboard and spiegel.No body brought this up yet and it's not one of the 2 being talked about, but I found Psychiatry Genius to have questions that looked very very close to the board exam I took. It was like people who work there wrote some of the board questions. It was uncanny. Just my two cents to help someone out.
How did it go? Did you pass? Lol. I'm getting around 68% on mypsychboards, but been trying to mentally focus on the content and not the percentage.I second that. I have been scoring 55 percent in mypsychboard. Not sure if that is enough to pass the real thing
My bet is that you'll do fine. I found the exam kind of enjoyable. It wasn't horrifically stressful like the Steps. There are dumb questions, but I do kind of agree that I'm not sure more prep will help you with poorly worded questions.Im gonna raw dog the exam in September. No studying, no materials. I did fine on PRITEs.
Im writing it down here to let you all know how it goes. Study banks are a waste of money - and I'll try to prove it.
I'll slightly counter this. Study banks are going to be highly variable in terms of actually learning material in an organized manner. They are good for getting back into the groove of test taking and building stamina to be able to sit for 6-8 hours of questions though.Im gonna raw dog the exam in September.

That is unfortunate. PRITE is not a good way to determine how you will do on the boards unfortunately. It is too outdated.PRITE is very important in our program. They do not allow moonlighting if you score below a certain point.
Can you expand on this further? For quite some time the scores on PRITE had quite a strong correlation to passing boards. Have you seen data this has changed?That is unfortunate. PRITE is not a good way to determine how you will do on the boards unfortunately. It is too outdated.
I guess I could be wrong, but our program didn't really care about PRITE at all. It was just a day we got out of clinic duties. Everyone in my class passed the boards though. I think most of us did BTB. I just thought PRITE was pretty bad, but I would say the boards also have weird questions. I took them about two years ago, they had too many psychotherapy questions, but thankfully there wasn't much neuro. I love that they are putting less and less neuro on the boards.Can you expand on this further? For quite some time the scores on PRITE had quite a strong correlation to passing boards.
