Worth the price

High quality material. Worth your money. Highly recommend. The customer service is awesome too. Always get a live human not machine. Thanks!

Radiology Application design needs work

Added one star because I noticed some of the images have been enlarged on the ipad for better visibility. Feedback below still stands: 1). For iPad, The โ€œCheck Answerโ€ button is small and projects over other clickable elements such as the โ€œChallenge a Friendโ€ field. This leads to unnecessary misclicks. 2). For radiology, almost every question has an integral exhibit image to view. These almost never open automatically for viewing and i have to tap, โ€œShow Exhibitsโ€ every time i start doing practice questions. Include a setting that automatically displays the exhibits. 3). We need to scrutinize images with the zoom feature. The current implementation is cumbersome. I have to tap the zoom icon, wait for another page to load, and then zoom the image. Thatโ€™s too many clicks. The new page also hides the question stem and answers, which is bad design. Images should be directly zoomable in the stem. 4). Many questions and answers could use improvement. There is no way for me to submit question feedback on the iPad. Also, we paid for this service, why is it up to us to elevate the quality of your material? Please hire more diligent editors. Thanks and good luck with your app!

Best Rationales - 3000+ questions

This app is amazing, I am using it for NCLEX. The rationales are amazing. I plan to take the NCLEX RN in 6 weeks I will let you guys know how it goes!

Would not recommend for AMCB Exam

Purchased because of good reviews from prior classmates, however the questions are not geared towards midwives at all, more like OBs. The National exam focuses on 2/3 normal, the majority (75%) of the questions from board vitals are abnormal/high risk. Probably will not be a good reflection of the real exam, will not have to purchase another practice question app.

So Far So good!

So far so good! If Iโ€™m able to pass my exam, CST, then it helped. I will update after my exam date.

Questions

Love the extensive explanations and links that are given with the rationales

Board Pass!

I used Board Vitals as my only Q-bank for psychiatry boards and scored above the national average. Many explanations had additional info and charts that I marked for review later and then reviewed in the weeks leading up to my board exam. Really like their format. They also have vignettes that were very similar to the vignette section on the boards. Lastly, when I taught board review to PGY-4s, I used BV to help keep the residents engaged. Also, your progress and marked questions are available on the app and online.

As you can see, I am a fan. Currently using BV for Child and Adolescent Psych.

Spectacular

An extremely well-organized, informative, realistic study aid. The best I've ever used.

Great tool

I love the rationals. Straight to the point!

Awesome

I enjoy doing questions during my breaks or when I need to keep myself active and thinking.
Reading the explanations is very satisfying.
