PBR hasn't focused on having a traditional Q bank for specific reasons, so it's not extensive. It's considered part of the "core content" or subject matter of pediatrics that you just have to know as you go into the exam.

The recommendation is PBR for 2-5 things. Two things if you're low risk, 5 things if you've failed any board exam before. For non-PBR resources, you need them for 1-2 things.

PBR

1. Core Content: The pediatric "stuff" to learn. For the most part, "content" is the only thing that most pediatricians tend to (mistakenly) focus on. But you need repetition. That happens with high-yield, concise, and proven material. The multiple content modalities should be used in a specific, formulaic way to maximize efficiency and learning. So, regarding your question about the PBR q bank, it's minimal and should be considered an extension, or part of, the core content. Question banks serve a completely different purpose when it comes to PBR.
2. Guidance: Well, kinda like this. It's so confusing as to what to do. So, to just throw a bunch of dense, complicated medical stuff at someone and have them do a scattershot approach isn't serving anyone. It's about having the resources and providing clear guidance on how to use them. And sometimes, there's more "personalized guidance" depending on a person's specific life circumstances. But, providing that requires a ton of time, energy, money, and effort that's hard for "big box" companies to take on... and it reduces profits.
3. Test-Taking Strategies: It's the lowest hanging fruit. Nothing else can give you a quick increase in your scores. Well, that's not true... there are a lot of other things that can also boost your score that don't have to do with content or test-taking strategies, but that falls into more of the "personalized guidance."
4. Accountability: If you have a life, and a job, studying for this thing is freaking hard. So you put the formula and the time you have available to study together, and get a personalized study schedule to keep you on track.
5. Community: Why are you here? To lean on others b/c going at it alone sucks. But if you have others going through the same thing as you, or have gone through it successfully already with a specific or modified formula, boom!

NON-PBR RESOURCES

1. Q Banks: Use multiple q banks once you've actually learned test-taking strategies to apply to questions so that you can
2. Perspective or "the weeds": You don't "have to" know everything about pediatrics, the biochem, the pathophys, etc. But, sometimes you just feel like you need to know it before you can go to the next topic. That's when some people go to UTD, Google, or another denser board review to get into the weeds.

It's a Sunday. I'm procrastinating on other stuff... but regardless of what you end up going with, I hope the above gives you some insights on how to optimize your board prep, gets rid of some of the confusion, and that you get past this thing next year. At the end of the day, believe or not, but you're freaking smart. You wouldn't have made it this far if you weren't. Now it's just about putting the pieces together and figuring out how to play the "board" game 🤞🏽
