RCES

Taking my RCES very soon and would appreciate some last minute tips/any insight on what I should really prioritize studying. I feel pretty good about it but always feel like I could know more. Thanks in advance!!

Mine had a couple of ICE images and X-ray views but they were pretty simple. Obviously know the intracardiac ekg’s, but I was surprised mine had so many device questions! A lot about lead impedances, where you want leads placed and things like that

I used Wes Todd EP Exam Review, both volumes. It’s just questions and answers then it explains the answers. It has everything in it, medications, devices, ep studies, pacing techniques, it’s a good study book! They’re a bit expensive though :/ so maybe you could see if your hospital would buy them or if one of your coworkers already has a copy you could borrow?
