A must have for reviewers 5 out of 5 stars.
10 of 10 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book when i was reviewing for my Medical Technology certification exam. The book is more difficult than the certification exam. But the beauty of this book is that it will make you understand the rationale and principles behind all the laboratory tests and procedures. If you can pass at least 60% of the questions in this book. You have a good chance of passing the certification exam.

Good, not excellent buy! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

The book, although in general terms is well organized and practical, doesn't cover general topics like urology or thoracic surgery, which i belive to be "Essentials to General Surgery." Still, i benefited from it a lot, so i would recommed it.

Good Book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Good book for introductory purposes. It describes many procedures and gives you a good basis for understanding. Not a good book for actually learning how to do a surgery!

Too much to read. 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This book is so long and wordy, It's a great reference for surgical topics, but so hard to read. It is not a good review book, and i would say not a book to read during your rotation in surgery since you probably wouldn't have enough free time to read the entire thing. It is a good book, don't get me wrong, but I find it's too much for 3rd yr rotation material.

Editorial Review:

Essentials of General Surgery, Fourth Edition is extensively revised with an abundance of new tables and illustrations, to provide the most current and up-to-date information on general surgery. The book covers the most need-to-know information about specific diseases and areas of surgery and meets all the guidelines of the Association of Surgical Educators.

I found the sample questions and rationales invaluable on the national board (passed in the hight 90's), yes the chapters are long and dry, but if you only do the tests, you WILL get you money's worth. We are here to learn are we not?

I purchased the book Aug.28. Why should I have to pay for 2-3 day shipping when I just got the book 1 week ago!! I will never order from Amazon again. The only positive thing about it was the book was in the shape described.

Great Buy 5 out of 5 stars.

Probably the best step 2 book in this series. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is probably the best single source for pediatric prep for step 2. I've gone through the Lorin book and found it to be too picky vs. the step 2 exam. If you want to go into peds, the Lorin book will help you later, but for shear step 2 prep, this is the book to get. Pertinent questions and nothing esoteric. Fast read. I think i bought if for about $20. Well worth it. Trust me. I scored > 2 sd above the mean.
Don't waste your time with blue prints.

best bang for the buck 5 out of 5 stars.

I used PreTest Pediatrics as my sole study aid for the Pediatrics recertification board exam, which I took yesterday. In all my years of taking medical exams (med school, residency, fellowship, and now recertification) I have never seen so many questions on the actual exam that so closely mirror the questions I studied. Without counting, it seemed that a quarter of the exam questions were nearly identical in vignette and answers to questions from the PreTest book, and several of the questions even had the multiple choices in the same order.

McGraw Hill advertises that "All questions are reviewed by students who have recently passed the exams." I believe it. Kudos on a low-cost book that is relevant to USMLE Steps 2, 3, and beyond.

• 500 USMLE-style questions and answers referenced to core textbooks and journal articles
• Complete explanations discuss right and wrong answer options

Test passer 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This is an excellent test preparation book. The questions are well worded and make sense, the answers are very instructive. I found that the answers were very comprehensive and reading them was reviewing for the test. Each subject was covered with 50+ questions that hit all the high spots for the test. This is a must have review book.

Pretty good ... 4 out of 5 stars.

I used this book to prepare for the psychiatry shelf exam. Overall, I liked it. Some of questions themselves are not reflective of the shelf question style, per se; the questions on the shelf are much longer, and the questions in this book tend to focus too much on drug half-lives and epidemiology. Also, there were a few blocks of questions that were totally useless for the shelf --- particularly the section about theories of development (Piaget, Freud, Erikson, and all that jazz). However, the questions about specific psychiatric diagnoses were very helpful. Spending the time to read through the answer explanations is crucial, even if you answered the question correctly! The explanations are the real strength of this book. In sum: a worthwhile investment!

• 500 USMLE-style questions and answers referenced to core textbooks and journal articles.
