Boards - Prodigy vs valley

Published

Hi,

I just wanted to know how you prepared for boards. Did you just use prodigy or just valley or both? Both are expensive and i want to know if it's worth the investment to get both. Thanks.

I'm doing both. From the other nurse-anesthesia website, I gathered that Valley is more antiquated but has good information to form a review foundation. I also read that prodigy is a more accurate representation of the boards, with tons of practice exams and questions. My plan is to do the Valley course and book, then drill and drill prodigy like crazy...

i have the sweat book and flash cards from friends and did not attend the actual course.

I have used the Prodigy system and find it more to my learning style - the computerized questions and practice tests are very convenient.

I like that it can diagnose your weak spots and help you work on that. No doubt my weak spots are going to be OB...:banghead:
