Hi guys/gals,

I'm considering buying either Decks or Board busters. For part 1 I studied decks, but some of my classmates really liked Board busters and said that it s like decks but better...
Do you know what's the best study tool for boards ?

I appreciate your responses.

Took the first day of NBDE part 2 today.

I did decks once, crack the boards, read parts of mosby, got the first aid at the end (too late to do anything except quick skim), first aid qa, kaplan q banks, back exams.

I'm not the best test taker so I tried to get as much sources.

1) decks- great if you can remember everything
2) mosby- there's is still alot on the decks that aren't on the boards
3) kaplan - good to get you thinking in the mode, easier than the actual boards, definitely no repeats
4) old exams- golden if you can cross reference and understand the answers, not too many but few repeats
5) crack the boards- waste of time- too difficult, will take you too much time to figure out why the answer is what it is.

I wish someone told me all this before. Hoping to pass with half decent score.

Cheers!
