How to annihilate ITE and boards?

I am going to try and kill my ITE next year as a CA-1 to try and help my case for a fellowship. I took it this year year as a PGY-1 and am pretty sure that I completely failed the focking thing. I have been fairly busy as an intern and and so didn't study a whole lot for it. Right now I have Baby Miller and Lange. I also have the Comprehensive Review by Hall. Please send all recommendations for review books. Also, I would be interested in any online review course. I used USMLE world for my step 1 and 2 which was awesome. Is there anything comparable for anesthesia boards?

Read some bigger books, then worry about review books. There's nothing worthwhile online.

When you start at a CA-1, consistent reading of a strong anesthesia text will benefit you the most. You can also practice by doing old ABA questions from their site and use them to guide your reading & preparation for the ITE.

If your goal is to do well on a multiple choice test, you should spend a substantial amount of time practicing multiple choice questions.

Hall has about 1000 good ones. The old ITEs have many more (but only an answer key, no explanations). A trip through Big Blue is worth your time too.

I'm not telling you not to read textbooks - questions alone are certainly a lousy way to learn anesthesia. But they are bar none the highest yield test prep resource.
