Rapid Review qbank

[zoedog]

Hey all, I purhcased the Rapid Review of pathology revised print that came out in May. Of course it's just too dense to get through in 6wks as well as focusing on other areas, so I am focusing on the side margin notes as well as the qbank provided on studentconsult (along with uworld- had kaplan and I don't even touch their qbank as I find it not at all representative). Does anyone know if the questions asked with RR qbank are similar in difficult or style to the actual exam (the revised edition it is any different)?

my personal opinion, the RR qbank BLOWS! if you are short on time, avoid that crappy qbank. stick to uworld, FA, RR if you feel you have time.

I agree, stay away from that Qbank and stick with UW. I used it to study for my path NBME and there were horrible errors like "see image below" and there was no image, so you just had to guess. There were also a couple instances where I got an answer wrong, looked at the explanation and in the explanation my answer was clearly right but for whatever reason the computer marked it as wrong.

Yeah the qbank provided by rapid review is pretty crap. I did all the micro rapid review questions before the micro shelf and found them useful but way easier than the actual test. I did some of the path ones throughout the year but never found them that helpful. For the step it would be a pretty inefficient way to study. Just stick with USMLE world.
