“I would recommend BoardVitals to anyone preparing for USMLE exams for a couple of reasons: First, the questions are of all levels, from basic to advanced and all of them are of high quality. Second, I was able to get feedback very shortly from a practicing physician associated with BoardVitals regarding any questions I had on BoardVitals material. This separates it from practically any other question bank where it may take weeks or months to receive any feedback.”
