5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST-HAVE for boards!!!!!, November 3, 2007

This book was by far the best micro review I had for boards! It gave me all the information I needed without meaningless minutia and was VERY high-yield for boards. I used it for my micro class during the year and it really helped, especially with group studying. The question-answer format is a great way to test yourself before exams and I found it to be a comprehensive review before I took boards. I recommend it to every med student looking for a thorough review for micro.

Everyone's learning is different... with that said... these deja series aren't bad as long as their not used for primary study. Their great for final review's before your exam to help boost your confidence and help you remember stuff you might have forgotten or couldn't remember. For this book, i didn't really have time to use the immunology section much b/c I was pressed for time, but i found the microbiology section useful. Not a bad buy at all.

I got this book to review for the Microbiology & Immunology shelf exam. I like the 2-column format of questions and answers in this book, but eventually, it got rather dense and did not keep my attention.
