What to study for AICM "shelf"/comp?

[Scot959]

How you all doing? I was recently accepted to Ross University as a transfer student. I will be starting my 5th semester, AICM, this coming September. What exactly is the "comp/shelf" like?
I was also wondering if you guys could possibly offer some advice. I am wondering what would be most hopeful for preparing for the comp exam, Kaplan Qbank, USMLE world etc. Any hints, suggestions or advice as to how to prepare for the comp exam would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Good Evening,
I am a current fourth semester and what I hear from a few faculty members is to purchase online retired NBME questions. They said these are the closest to the format of the COMP and are a very good beginning.
I hope this was of assistance,
regards

Also NBME has now made forms 5 and 6 available for purchase. I have not taken them yet, but I do know that these forms are available as a timed test only unlike forms 1 to 4, which you can do without being timed.

Thank you for the advice guys. I am planning on taking the Falcon review course most likely this September to try and get more prepared and for the NBME review tests I suppose. I wish you all the best of luck in your preparation and on the Step 1!!

The online COMP for transfers is basically just one of the NBME exams online. They just make you sign on to NBME and they pay for it.
