Shelf Exams

Shelf Exams

Student Development believes there is no one tried-and-true method of studying for Shelf Exams. However, we are often asked to provide suggestions on resources. As such, we elicit recommendations for Shelf Exam resources from current students and Peer Learning Mentors. Remember, pick the best resources for you and your learning system. 

Check out our Interactive Guide for Shelf Exam Readiness! This guide includes:

  • FAQs

  • Our recipes for learning and readiness

  • Cost planning suggestions

  • Updated resource (including the essentials, slow and steady – 4 weeks of study, and crunch time – week of the exam)

  • The most current breakdown of UWorld questions and advice from Tutors

  • Sample schedule templates (coming soon)
