Has anyone used this qbank? It seems really bad tbh. I've completed truelearn, M5, and halls. I am just looking for extra questions as I find the more questions I do the better. A lot of the explanations have poor grammar, it seems like english is not the authors primary language. Any other qbanks out there?
 
Yeah you're probably good on Qbanks. You're in a nice position and would probably already pass. What I did was keep a running list of the stuff I was bad at (vaporizers and other anesthesia machine questions, stress dose steroids, those invasive pressure waveforms overlapping with ECGs, etc) and reread those explanations. I had a notebook where I would force myself to re-summarize that stuff from memory. I had ambitions to go through the BASIC content outline as well but I honestly can't remember if I actually did that.

After that I had some time to go through (rapidly since at this point I was recognizing the questions) TrueLearn and spot re-reviewed M5.

I don't mean to stress out any time-poor CA1 reading the above. This is what I did with the intent of snagging top 10%tile. That's not where I normally live with these standardized exams so I put the time and effort in.
