Q-bank written for first aid?? Or vice versa??

Has anybody else notived that whenever you miss a question in q-bank, you look in first aid, and there is like one quarter of one line that has the answer. Or one picture that has one out of place label that if you had known, you would have gotten the question right?? I'm starting to feel as if people write stuff to first aid based on what they see in q-bank. Or q-bank decided to find the smallest things in first aid and do questions on them.

I agree and bet'cha that First Aid is "updated" a la QBank every year or so...

i'm totally with you on that!

i mean doc barone et al, also did suggest to do FA for the stuff we didnt cover. I'm sure they both look at each others stuf.. IN ADDITION, when i was doing pharmacology stuff in the kaplan books. EVERYTHING was in the same sequence as it appeared in FA. OR atleast a great majority was. I think they prolly do that so that people that utilize one can locate stuff in the other easier ?????

or theyre just plain old copying each others stuff 😀

I must admit, my theory definatively doesn't hold for Pharm drugs. Seems like 30% of all Kaplan pharm questions I dont' find in First Aid. Pisses me off.

Agreed I took the test and honestly I only had ONE pharm question that was "hard" most of them dealt with major SEs of drugs. When I did Qbank many of the drugs that were the right answers were way way more detailed than first aid or the boards. Oh and when I mean "hard" I mean it couldnt be found in 1st aid. All the drugs were pretty well covered in FA except the "hard" question where the drug was no where to be found in FA or Pharm Recall.

I had a ridiculous pharm question on the Step I about the proper Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor (list of 5-6) to give a patient with HIV and concurrent HBV. I guessed right: Lamivudine.

Pharm is definitely not my strongest subject - with 12 days to go, would you recommend just focusing on knowing as much as possible from FA (especially those last two pages with the SEs)?
