I failed Breast and what I studied felt very different from the real exam — what should I review?
Every study resource is a set of predicted questions, so none of them will match the real exam question for question — see "Prepry vs URR for SPI — which is closer to the real exam?" for the full reasoning.
Short Answer
Every study resource is a set of predicted questions, so none of them will match the real exam question for question — see "Prepry vs URR for SPI — which is closer to the real exam?" for the full reasoning. What doesn't change are the underlying ultrasound concepts; only the surface of the question looks different. So when the exam feels "too different" from what you studied, the likelier explanation isn't that you used the wrong book — it's that you studied the surface of the questions instead of the concepts underneath.
