As a PGY-I psych resident, I just received my PRITE exam results. Does anyone know the significance of scoring in certain percentiles? (e.g. 70-s 80-s 90-s)?

Thanks.

Me too!
This is what I learned from my PD. The neuro score predicts u'r performance on the boards i.e. if u do badly in neuro it's likely u'll do badly in ABPN. That said, if u score>70%(not percentile) u'll do good on boards.It also helps to keep an objective check on u'r performance from yr-to yr.
Hope this helps.

It depends how much you studied and what pgy year you are. If you want to do well on the neurology section make sure you know the book 'neurology for psychiatrists'. they run a course too. I took it and knew the book and did the questions at the end of the chapter and was in the 99% on the neuro. The neuro part of the boards is hard but FAIR. no bizarre or weird questions.

do old prites if you can. don't just memorize them. take each question and figure out why the answers are right and wrong and why they are asking that topic. the questions may change but the general topics they ask about really don't.

btw don't let anyone tell you you're prite score determines your future board scores! studying changes everything!!!!
