Rosh Review | Exam Prep Qbank

Hello! I am 6 months into clinical year of PA school and find Rosh review to be incredibly useful in general for test prep. One feature I really wish existed though is questions organized by EOR topic rather than by organ system. For example, when I was trying to use Rosh to prep for my internal medicine and EM EORs, I struggled to make tests that really captured what presentations I’d be seeing in that setting. I know that a large chunk of the test will be cardiac, GI, renal, some OBGYN, but combined there are like 800 or something questions in all those categories and not all of them pertain specifically to the level of acuity I am studying for. Contrast that with my women’s health rotation where Rosh has several hundred questions specifically that all pertain to that rotation- I did better on that EOR than any other using essentially only Rosh to study. I am struggling with this problem again currently during my surgery rotation because, once again, Rosh does not have a “surgery” category of questions. Please please make this a thing before I graduate PA school haha.

This app is outstanding. My university pays for the annual subscription as part of our electronics fees. I will tell you though I would pay for it if they didn’t. Each question is boards worthy. In the quiz mode I appreciate the immediate response of what the right answer is. Also, the explanations and images really help to solidify what I am learning. Then to make sure you got the main pints there is a quick review and additional question pertaining to the topic of the question. I use this app regularly to study for exams. Every night I create a quiz with 10 questions and select the topics that are applicable to the materials we are studying at the time. Since starting using this as my form of studying I have improved my exam scores on average 15%!!! There are over thousands of questions so I have not had a repeat yet! Love this app for studying and to pass the time. Much more beneficial than candy crush to pass the time!

I had tried several qbanks and found one to be too easy, and the other too difficult. Rosh, however, was the most representative of the actual exam. I love their pictures and explanations in tutor mode. You can reset your exams to start back from the beginning. And there is a good amount of questions to help you. For me, doing tons of questions really helped me; you are prepared for the questions and you start to see the same questions over again (a good thing!) so you know what the question is asking pretty much. Don’t be worried too much by the scores. I consistently got in 60s percentages and occasionally above 70%, but still passed. Remember, just doing the questions you are learning at the same time! I didn’t even time myself but did 30 or 60 question blocks. Rosh questions put me at ease when the questions came up on the real exam. Also, if they had them when I was in school, I’d have bought the rotation pack of questions to help study for the EORs. No doubt, concentrate on questions. Reading and thinking you know the material doesn’t work for everyone (at least not me).
