This is the classic didactic lecture-based review of neurology materials. Lectures are designed to cover all the major subspecialties tested on the board exam.<\/p>\n<p>2. Audio-based course. These pre-recorded audio courses are perfect for recapturing travel time.<\/p>\n<p>The Audio-Digest <a href=\"http:\/\/lp.audio-digest.org\/Promotions\/15\/8\/E\/158jap\">Neurology Review<\/a> is the top shelf neurology board review audio course. Available as a digital download, and for those of who still have a CD player in the car but not an MP3 player, the course is also available on CD. The course consists of 33 hours of lecture (with 33 CME credits).<\/p>\n<p>3. Question banks. While reviewing core neurology material is a necessary step, ultimately only a small portion of the material makes it onto the board exam. Question banks are an excellent way to focus on just the highest yield material.<\/p>\n<p>The BoardVitals <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boardvitals.com\/neurology-board-review#_l_1c\">Neurology question bank<\/a> uses the same approach as USMLE step 1 online question banks. It has over 1,800 questions with detailed answers.<\/p>\n<p>Residents rely on the less expensive, but still pretty good, option of the traditional book. <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/1496323297\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1496323297&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=studentdoccom&#038;linkId=0c3d04a44d975e14bab89a597c8dfdfb\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Comprehensive Review in Clinical Neurology: A Multiple Choice Book for the Wards and Boards<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=studentdoccom&#038;l=am2&#038;o=1&#038;a=1496323297\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> does a good job of focusing on the highest yield material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&#8217;re taking the initial certification or a maintenance of certification neurology exam there are several good ways to prepare.
