Emergency Medicine PreTest Self-Assessment and Review, Fourth Edition

MS4 here. If you've used pre-test before you know the types and format of questions to expect. Overall this is a good quality question bank.Pro:+Presents obscure questions that you might encounter on shelf exams but not in real life+Has Ultrasound, CT, X-ray images that's help you brush up on image interpretation+Succinct explanations are straight to the pointCon:-Might not reflect the breakdown of the actual shelf in terms of focus or questions per section.-Many questions have shorter question stems, and might not reflect the actual shelf exam in terms of format.If you want a passing grade (i.e. not going into EM), this is a good resource to use. If however you want to have a higher score on the shelf (i.e. honors), you definitely need to supplement this with other study resources such as First Aid, and/or Case Files.

Great for EM shelf exams as medical students. All you need to do well.

It's a good book don't get me wrong, but Rosh review is better. I got a 96 on my NBME.

most correlated with the shelf questions
