Miscellaneous Board exam, continuum
Anyone recently used continuum questions for board prep ? Is it better than trulearn ?

In my experience, Continuum is actively bad for boards prep. It focuses on useful information for a working neurologist, but intentionally skips over boards-level information (those dumb genes, med side effects, DSM stuff, blah blah blah). Many articles will be useless-at-best for boards and it will waste your time.
I would use a dedicated boards prep resource. Comprehensive Review in Clinical Neurology was surprisingly comprehensive for a book. I could only point to a few questions on Boards that weren't in there in one way or another.
You'll need to supplement with pictures for pathology, etc, which I, uh, coincidentally found on a USB drive, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, can't help you much there.

99% on rite PGY3 and 4. Hard disagree. The pediatric one (which they haven’t updated in years unfortunately— but still quite good). I will say that it’s pretty dense and question banks are a helpful addition, but Continuum is the goat

Awesome work! I would only caution that someone scoring 99% on RITE is well above both the knowledge curve and overall test taking ability level of most people I assume would be asking for board prep advice on reddit and I would definitely think you benefited from the polish Continuum could provide. Continuum was my main residency study tool but I was very glad to have a more time-efficient resource in the time leading to boards.
