emilymly Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My program requires that we have either Rosh or Smarty Pance for Clin Med practice questions. Our professor prefers Rosh b/c its more challenging, but our upperclassmen prefer smarty pance. Does anyone have an opinion on what prepares you better?

Aunt Val Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) I haven't tried Smarty Pance, so I can't give a direct comparision, but I'm a big fan of Rosh. I've used it to study for end-of-rotation exams and the PANCE, and it has been excellent. Edited August 29, 2020 by Aunt Val Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamsleep Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Don't mean to derail your thread but, anyone able to give their opinion on Rosh vs. UWorld? I am nearing the end of didactics and am considering which one to invest in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am nearing the end of didactics and am considering which one to invest in. I enjoyed ROSH more especially in the explanations when you get a question wrong, with ROSH there are pictures/color-coded charts in some of the explanations while UWORLD is pretty much only words. You'll be fine with both, but I used ROSH more often and pance pearls and passed no problem. Plus, ROSH gives you a predictor score for PANCE which is pretty damn close.

ANESMCR Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Smarty pance for didactic. Rosh for clinical year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAstudent0320 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I’ve been using Smarty Pance during didactic. I find it helpful because it also has high yield outlines, videos and flash cards for each blueprint topic in addition to the practice questions. I am saving Rosh for clinical year as I get closer to the PANCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowlyButSurely Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 When I was in school, I had both. SmartyPance is good for quick, straight forward questions. Something for you to learn the bolded words quickly. Rosh is better for more in depth questions and answers. I shared a Smarty Pance account for 5 or so other classmates so we could split the cost. Your score won't be accurate but I don't think that's super important for this one. I advise you should have your own Rosh to keep an eye on your score so you can correlate (with a large grain of salt) on how you'd do on the PANCE. Good luck!
