Pathoma's CNS section

So I've heard a lot of bad things on this forum mainly about how the CNS section for Pathoma is a joke. So what do you guys use instead? Is Nervous System section in BRS Pathology adequate?

I use pathoma, FA, uworld, and Rx and do great on all CNS practice questions so they must have enough information in those sources.

i raped kaplan q bank CNS via pathoma and uworld, and my study partner used uworld and was getting consistent 80percent and above

I think what I was trying to get at is what resource could I use and get 60%+ on UWorld Neuro sections on my first try?

You don't need anything more than first aid and pathoma to get at least a 60% on the uworld neuro section first try.

I've never heard anything bad about the CNS section of Pathoma (or any section)...

There's a lot of non pathophys stuff in neuro (i.e. things that Pathoma obviously won't cover) and for that I would just use FA. Currently my UW neuro is 70% (about 60 questions done) and I haven't looked at FA/Pathoma neuro since our block in the Fall. The questions in UW are pretty straight forward.

90-100% of the neuro questions on NBME 1-13 (those that I´ve done),Rx,and UW can be answered just by FA itself. I am sure Pathoma adds to that score. I would also recommend google + HY Neuroanatomy (pics) to facilitate learning - if you have the time for that that is.
