In this podcast, I deliberately use examples to review many of the HY cognitive errors that are often tested on the USMLEs. I introduce these errors with an example, discuss the error, and then mention specific hotspots that the USMLEs use to test that particular error type. At the end, I give some memory hooks to help you differentiate one error from the other so you don’t confuse them on your test.
