All the threads regarding the psychiatry shelf are outdated. Does anyone have any advice about what books they used to score high on the shelf? So far I've heard great things about FA for psych and Case Files.

I'm not honestly sure. A lot of people I've spoken to tell me that the shelf is a lot more tough than people give it credit for. I'm doing questions from Q & A and PreTest and they don't really heavily emphasize differential dx or pharm and yet people tell me those subjects are heavily tested.
