Board Review

The library has two test databanks to help you prepare. ExamMaster and Board Vitals. The library has a research guide for both platforms.

Please note, most board preparation materials are available as a print or digital book. Both formats are searchable in the library catalog.

Search Tip 1: Track down materials by their publication series

Examples of a few popular series:

• BRS (Board Review Series)
• Case Files
• PreTest
• Made Ridiculously Simple
• UnderGround Clinical Vingnettes
• DejaReview
• Blueprints
• FirstAid
• Lange Q&A
• Lange Outline Review
• Secrets
• Rapid Review

Try searching for the series name as a keyword combined with your subject area of interest. For example: “first aid” AND immunology;  pretest AND pharmacology.

Search Tip 2: Search the library catalog for the subject heading 'board review'

If you access the Advanced Search option you can combine this subject heading with another subject area. You can furhter limit results to ebooks if you are off campus and a digital option works best for you.

Search Tip 3: Search for the name of the test as a keyword search

For example: COMLEX, “CPH Exam", PANCE, or USMLE.
