> Basic and intermediate RP “what is the diagnosis” with just images and no history are very similar to what’s on core - with basic being higher yield.
Again, basic is intended for first year radiology residents not as board prep. You may have used it for this purpose, but it is neither a prerequisite to pass the ABR Core nor is it the most efficient way to prepare.
You can make the statement that a lot of work goes into becoming a radiologist without the inaccurate claim that the one exam requires 5000+ practice questions.
The official description:
"RADPrimer helps radiologists fine tune their diagnostic skills and enhance their knowledge:
Comprehensive radiology training for all levels
RADPrimer allow physicians to customize their educational path, focusing on the topics that matter most. RADPrimer allows radiologists to use their time efficiently as they work toward professional advancement. Topic-focused lessons present specific diagnoses, anatomy, differential diagnoses, and assessment questions related to the topic. RADPrimer provides over 5,300 case-based learning and traditional questions."
I don't know what you want me to tell you - but my experience as a recent graduate is reflected below. You may have had a different path but everyone in my training cohort is doing this and passing this down as the standard prep.
Rad Primer Basic 2,173
Qevlar - 2,000
Board vitals - 1300
PhysicsApp - 572
At University of Texas we did this for prep and in fellowship at the University of Washington I checked with their residents and they were doing that too.
Ben White from UTSW gives something like that as road map for study questions (which I already linked to you).

I keep providing links and data and you keep providing quotes about the definition of RadPrimer and what exactly it is and how exactly residents are supposed to utilize it - without any deviation. I don't know where you did your training but perhaps you're at a more prestigious institution and the trainees had to prepare less to pass the exam. Maybe you're just that much smarter.
