I struggled trying to get through Last's Anatomy by just reading it. The Surgical Mindset question bank made it much easier to retain the key concepts. The questions are high-yield and really help with recall. It's also a great addition alongside the original banks and helped me identify gaps in my knowledge.

The AI study planner is a game changer. When you're working long 12-hour surgical shifts it's hard to plan study time, but the planner automatically organises everything. It's made it much easier to stay consistent with GSSE prep.

I liked that this bank covers pathology and physiology properly as well as anatomy. Some of the other banks I tried didn't go into those sections as much. I mainly used it together with the PDF notes and the Excel Mastery Bundle which made it easier to organise my study.
