NowYouKnowPsych: Superior Board Preparation for Today’s Psychiatrists

When selecting a PRITE or ABPN board preparation resource, the quality and comprehensiveness of your study materials directly impact your exam performance. After analyzing the leading psychiatry board preparation options, NowyouknowPsych clearly emerges as the superior choice.

Unmatched Multi-Modality Learning

Research confirms that engaging multiple learning modalities significantly enhances knowledge retention and recall.¹ NowyouknowPsych is the only platform offering:
  • 1,500+ high-quality board-style questions
  • 24 comprehensive text chapters
  • 1,500 flashcards for efficient review
  • Mobile app accessibility
  • Coming Fall 2026: Integrated video lectures
In contrast, competitors like BoardVitals, Rosh Review, StatPearls, and TrueLearn provide only question banks without supplementary learning materials. Beat The Boards and Oakstone offer lectures but lack text resources and flashcards that are essential for effective knowledge retention.³

Quality That Exceeds Quantity

While Beat The Boards boasts 2,300+ questions and Rosh Review claims 1,600, the educational value of questions matters more than quantity.² Our questions are:
  • Created by board-certified psychiatrists and neurologists
  • Precisely aligned with current PRITE and ABPN content outlines
  • Regularly updated to reflect evolving practice standards
  • Accompanied by thorough explanations that build understanding

Comprehensive Content at Exceptional Value

At $195.49 for a full year, NowyouknowPsych delivers superior value compared to:

  • Oakstone: $995-$1,370 (limited to questions and lectures)
  • Beat The Boards: $1,038 (no text chapters or flashcards)
  • BoardVitals: $549 for just 6 months (questions only)
  • Rosh Review: $589-$799 (questions only)

While some competitors offer CME credits, let’s be honest—as a resident, you’re more concerned with passing boards than collecting CME credits, which at this point is like worrying about retirement planning when you’re still trying to pay off student loans!

Mobile Learning: Study Anywhere

Our new NowyouknowMed app brings our comprehensive resources to your mobile device. Unlike competitors with mobile options but limited content, NowyouknowPsych provides access to both our question bank and flashcard system through a seamless mobile interface, allowing for truly flexible study sessions.

Educational research shows that distributed practice across multiple settings enhances memory consolidation and recall—exactly what our mobile platform facilitates.⁵ In human terms: studying in small bursts throughout the day works better than your traditional pre-exam panic cramming sessions.

The Clear Choice for Board Success

When evaluating comprehensiveness, quality, accessibility, and value, NowyouknowPsych stands alone as the premier psychiatry board preparation resource. Our unique integration of multiple learning modalities creates a studying experience unmatched by any competitor.

Remember: Other board prep resources might help you pass your exams, but only NowyouknowPsych will help you pass while maintaining some semblance of your sanity. And isn’t that what psychiatry is all about?
