So after reading a few threads and talking with some of my classmates, it seems that the USMLE First Aid, although helpful, wasn't exactly a proper guide for studying our boards. I know its only 2 days s/p APMLE part 1, but i figured i would ask since its probably still fresh in some of your 3rd year minds.
How was the test? What advice would you give 1st or 2nd years with regards to studying for the exam? Books or resources you found helpful. Did you feel the sample APMLE questions were fairly representative of the exam? Anything on the exam that surprised you or felt wasn't listed on the APMLE breakdown of the material on the test, etc... I figure something like this gets asked every year, but it'd be nice to see what the most recent feedback with regard to the exam. OR if you just want to vent about how it went, please feel free to do so, just try and keep it to a minimum.
Thanks in advance for the responses
