I heard that the psych shelf exam is ~10-15% neurology topics. How can one prepare for this before taking neurology? Is Case Files/First Aid/Pretest for psych enough or would it be wise to go through neuro Case Files or Pretest? Also, what neuro topics show up most heavily? Thanks.

Who told you that? I didn't think the psych shelf had any neuro on it whatsoever. My school doesn't even have a neuro rotation and people did just fine on the psych shelf. Just focus on psych stuff (First Aid, Case Files) and you'll be fine.

I don't remember any neuro questions on the psych shelf either.

There were some peds questions on my psych shelf (I hadn't taken peds yet), but I don't remember any neuro.

Both shelves were super easy. Don't sweat it.

Sounds like I'm the only person who had neuro on my psych shelf. At least 3-4 questions were straight up neuro, and a couple more were neuroanatomy of psych diseases. I just guessed and moved on.
