Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I can't seem to find much discussion about it. I'm in my dedicated prep period and have been using Kaplan's Q-bank as an extra source of questions (specifically, when I'm too mentally drained to spend 2-3 hours doing and reviewing explanations in
UWorld, and would rather just knock a block out quickly). I'm sure this is not a novel concept, but when I do UWorld, I treat every piece of information in the explanation as important and testable. Does this also hold true for the Kaplan explanations?
Specifically, I feel like every block has at least 2-3+ questions related to the inner workings of a hospital that are not even mentioned in FA2017. Recent examples:
PDSA quality control model
anchoring heuristic
types of adverse medical events
I knew Kaplan has a reputation for being "nitpicky" in basic sciences questions, but I'm less concerned about extra details and more concerned about whether it is important to learn complete concepts that are not even mentioned in FA.
Any input would be appreciated!
