Solid Qbank for board prep. Good mix of topics. Some questions felt a bit nitpicky, but overall very helpful for identifying knowledge gaps. Explanations are thorough.

PreTest is a lifesaver. Seriously. Helped me crush my shelf. The difficulty is spot-on, and understanding *why* the wrong answers are wrong is super helpful.

Still use PreTest for quick review and teaching points even as a senior resident. It's a classic for a reason. Great for board recertification prep too.
★★★

It's good practice, but I wish there were more images or diagrams included in the explanations. Pretty text-heavy.
