Pharmacology Exam & Board Prep Reviews

Needs help with the questions

Bulvi

Had high hopes for this but questions leave out a lot of information. For example...This patient would likely benefit from which of the following...what patient? What’s wrong with them? There is no info about the patient so you are left trying to divine information about the patient based on the answers. Disappointing!

Not organized

Sillycha

I am currently an MS2 in medical school and thought these cards could compliment my pharmacology course and help me study for the boards. The questions are okay but there is no organization. You can't study based on section, drug type or any other method of dissecting the material. It is just randomly put out there and then the program doesn't save any progress you've mad so you go over the same 10 cards if you are interrupted.

Good info, app needs work

I agree that the organization leaves a lot to be desired. My other complaint is that sometimes while doing the questions, when you choose the correct answer it tells you you got it wrong only to contradict itself in the explanation. This has happened 5 to 10 times already and I haven't been through half of the questions. The info ends up being right, but I don't like being told I got it wrong more than is necessary. In the end, I do still find this app useful.

Search!

This app would be improved 100% by a search function. If you could quickly access test relevant info for a drug you were interested without tons of extra info on dosing, etc. that comes with medscape this would be great. Still useful way to get the repetition required to memorize drugs, but way too expensive for what you get.

Needs work

Questions are good, but you get the same one over and over Bc the program doesn't filter out a answered questions. Also there are quite a few miss keyed questions, I.e. the furosemide orthostatic hypotension question. There is also no way to review previous questions If you start a new exam. Also, there is no way to look for a specific drug, the note cards are always random.

Bugs!

BIGBDNNY

Major bug fixes required. For example, if you are reviewing the "key drugs," every time you hit "I know it" or "I don't know it" it will not give you another card out of the stack. This app is a rip-off for the price! It needs an update. Not worth the money if its not going to work.

Not worth the price

Not worth $34

This app isn't terrible. Most of the questions are actually pretty good, but if I could do it over again I would just buy pharm cards to supplement the step 1 question bank I already have.

Just a copycat of the Katzung boards review

Kenujen

1. Nothing more than a copycat of the Katzung Boards Review book. 2. Too expensive for zero innovations. 3. Not a good review tool unless more materials are added such as more case studies, Flashcards, short answers questions, review topics, etc. Overall, I could copy and paste the review book into Quizlet and get better study value out of it.
