LC8150 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 My internal medicine EOR is coming up. I have smarty pance and rosh review (but not the boost exam). I've been studying a lot using smarty pance. Are those practice questions about on par with the PAEA EOR difficulty? I was using rosh review but a lot of those questions seemed super high level compared to what I remember from the PACKRAT so I wasn't sure which ones were better to study with or most similar to the EOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anachronist Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I found Rosh and UWorld to be a really good combo for getting a feel for what the PAEA exams would be like. SmartyPANCE has great study material and the questions aren't bad, but I liked Rosh and U more for adding some complexity and they both have much better explanations for why the correct answer is correct and the incorrect answers are incorrect; sort of teasing out important factors in the question that could change the answer completely. In general I would say the average SmartyPANCE question is on the average to easy end of a PAEA question, and an average Rosh/UWorld question is harder than the average PAEA question. I generally did much better on S than I did on EORs, and I generally did more poorly on Rosh and U than I did on my EORs. My 3 part combo tended to be Rosh, U, and PANCE Prep Pearls; I would add the OnlineMedEd videos when I had time. And IMHO, the Rosh Boost exams are well worth it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raa2018 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Sorry this is probably past your EOR, but maybe if anyone else sees this itll help!! I just had my internal med test, was terrified, I honestly really really recommend Uworld. the questions are hard, honestly even harder than Rosh, but that helped sooooo much, bc the EOR seemed easier. I did really well on internal med and it def wasnt my goal. If you had to pick between the two, I would DEF say Uworld! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
