Optimal Second Question Bank for OB Shelf?

[shinsoochoo]

For those who did well on OB, what secondary question bank would you recommend? I hadn't heard great things about UWISE for the shelf exam, and I hadn't heard much about AMBOSS for OBGYN. Case Files is another option as well. I will definitely do incorrects and run through UWORLD again if I have time. Any advice would be much appreciated. You all have always been so helpful! TIA.

I used Kaplan firecracker and uworld

I almost exclusively used UWise and did really well on the shelf. Threw in some uworld toward the end too

The best resource, hands down, are UWise. Did them twice, they are the most similar to what I saw on the shelf. I did UWorld as well but these were way easier questions than the shelf and I did not find them as useful. If I had to recommend another QBank, I would use Pretest. I scored >90 raw score on every shelf that I used Pretest for.

My OB/gyn shelf was 91, but this was three years ago, so who knows if my advice means anything now.

I used UWorld for the OB shelf exam and it turned out to be my second highest shelf exam, but I will also preface by saying that my OBGYN attending knew UWorld inside-out and she taught/tested on the concepts from UWorld clearly and thoroughly throughout my rotation. Therefore, UWorld alone was more than sufficient for me, but I can't say how it sufficient it would be for the average medical student. That being said, I know some of my friends used UWise and said it was a very good resource for the OB shelf exam, so I would second that!

The best resource, hands down... UWise

THIS X100

I'm almost 4 years removed from my OB rotation and still remember how surprised I was to nearly ace my OB shelf after ONLY two passes through UWise.

Honored the OBGYN shelf using OME, Case Files, UWorld, and APGO UWise. Loved Case Files and thought it was an especially strong resource for this rotation. Flipped through a bit of Shelf-Life and was impressed by the quality of the explanations for the questions I did but didn't get a chance to finish it. The UWise questions turned out to be overrated for me, and the website interface was annoying...but I still think it's worth doing.
