Hey all. I'm doing UWorld right now and about 600 questions I'm hitting between 68-72% most of the time but I am checking out my "performance" chart and definitely noticed a trend that I was feeling while taking each quiz. I suck at about 4 or 5 particular sections, lol! I'm hoping you all can tell me the best resources for these sessions (either that you used and can vouch for or that you have heard about) cuz everything else is pretty strong and it's just that these few sections actually make up a large percentage of the questions I'm missing so I obviously need a brush up in those areas. Not looking necessarily for how good a particular book is overall, just if you can say "Oh, ____ is really strong and concise section for Peds" or whatever. My gaps are...

Peds, lol! Think I've heard this isn't well covered in many resources.

Preventative Medicine- This is my absolute worst. I don't know why, but ANY question where the explanation starts out "The United States Preventative Services Task Force recommends..." it's pretty much guaranteed I will have missed it, lol! Any resources that give these guidelines in a very concise section instead of having to hunt around and compile them all?

Electrolytes- I do OK on these but for some reason miss more than I think I should. A short review would be good.

Rheumatology- I never was good at this in school and apparently still am not, lol!

Wouldn't mind a decent Heme/Onc review as well... not doing terrible but would like to do better.

That about it... just wondering if you guys know the best resources for each of these. It does not have to be in the same book... I don't mind buying several just to get the best resources for each section. Thanks!!
