HELP Need to pass Family Med shelf

[tadalafil09]

my Family medicine shelf exam is approaching in 2 weeks. I need to pass. I haven't started studying at all, just busy in outpatient all day.

What do you suggest?

That is a million dollar question. Lots of people will say that there's no real good source for FM shelf. It covers broad range of topics that are nearly impossible to pinpoint with one good source. However, you can do a search on here for a post of fm shelf and a few suggestions will popup. A couple of good ones from my experience is blueprints and swanson's(practice questions). However I always found pretests to be helpful for any shelf as there's lots of practice questions. I would just practice as many questions as I could in the next couple of weeks you have left and learn from the explanations which is what I found to be the best way to study for shelfs in general.

I did Case Files, only, barely finished it 1x because in my school the grade barely counts - u just have to pass.
It did not feel like it helped though, but I got a 75 which is supposedly fine
depends on your goal - case files is doable in 2-3 days though whereas blueprints etc are not IMO

I loved step-up-to-medicine. I used it for IM, surgery, and family shelf copies - did very well on all, if done peds or obgyn already it helps, not necessary to do well though. Book is big but can get thru it in a week if study hard. Good luck!!
