What's the best multiple choice question bank for ABFAS?

The general consensus when it comes to the CBPS portion of the exam is to use Boardwizards which makes sense. However, there doesn't seem to be a consensus on which resource to use for practice multiple choice questions. I've heard complaints of Boardwizards multiple choice questions not preparing people for that part of the exam. So I was wondering what people who have passed recently felt would be the highest yield.

I know reading McGlamery helps, but I'd like to apply the knowledge through high quality multiple choice questions.

ABFAS are a bunch of jabronis and half the rear foot questions are nowhere to be seen on board wizards. Good luck.

I took the one in March since I messed around for my ITE one several months ago, and passed all of the 4 sections.

I used boardvitals to "attempt" to study and got through 185 of the Podiatric surgery and complications sections. I always unchecked the "general medicine, anesthesia, etc" sections of BV since they don't ask that stuff on the exams from what I have noticed over the past 3 ITE's.

If I had to put a 1-10 rating on how much it (BV questions) helped, I would say 6/10. It helps to refresh you on school level details, but I felt so many of the questions on the actual exam were more opinion based than true wrong or right answers. There were questions where 3/5 options are valid and would work just fine. Even on BV, they get they're answers based on articles, but for every article that says one thing, there's others that say to do something different. lmao.

Anyways, I would recommend BV for just the didactic portion. I did not ever buy wizards, but learned from the ITE that shot gunning treatments or images (even though they are correct imo) just loses points for whatever reason.

For the real exam, I only put the pertinent stuff I personally needed to know (like for exam or imaging or labs) even if the "correct" answer choices may have wanted more. It was enough to pass so I would recommend not shotgunning just cause it says "please select 10-20 things" lol

For my real one, I would only put 1, maybe 2 answer choices even if it asked for 5 or 10 or whatever and it worked and I passed it hahah. makes no sense to me but it is what it is.

Recent rule change docs you for shotgunning labs/images.
You have to know what they want in terms of treatment etc to get the right answer.
