This review is from: Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound: Abdomen and OB/GYN (Lippincott's Review Series) (Paperback)

I bought this book to help me study for the ARDMS examinations. I think that I can give it an adequate review, now that I have gone through both sections, the Abdomen portion and the OB/GYN portion.

This book is really meant as a review to study for the ARDMS exams. Although the book clearly states that "... this book is not intended for those just beginning their studies..." I found it to be very concise, and a great "start point" to build from. Specially if you are overwhelmed by how much info there is to know, and don't know where to start.

Bottom line: The book is very well organized, concise, and objective. Highly recommended.


Other studying tips associated to use of this book:

I used this book in conjunction to the Internet (Google is your friend, specially for images of pathology you haven't seen before), books, and other media (for instance, the CD that came with this book, which is also great by the way).

If you are taking your ARDMS exams for the first time, and don't know what to expect (ie how hard the questions are), the CD that comes with this book is a great resource. If you studied the CD too much, so much that you start scoring high because you memorized the questions (that happened to me) and need to find out how ready you are to take the real test, you might want to consider Dr. Edelman's "X-Zone" website: http://www.esp-inc.com/Purchase/X-Zone.aspx

I also tried the mock-exam from the ARDMS website for $25, and found that the questions on their mock-test are much easier than the ones on the actual test. I don't recommend it. I found that the X-zone mock-test questions are more similar to the actual ARDMS exam.

Good luck!

The CD that goes along with this book is thorough and very helpful. I passed the abdomen exam with a high score and no poblems; (I had previously failed this exam when using the appleton and lange review book;-big yellow waste of money-)
This book is definitely a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound: Abdomen & Ob/Gyn, September 4, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Exam Preparation for Diagnostic Ultrasound: Abdomen and OB/GYN (Lippincott's Review Series) (Paperback)

I purchased this review text after already having taken a seminar. I liked it very much. It was simplistic and to the point. I felt the CD/ROM was the most helpful. The mock exams explained why you were getting answers correct or incorrect. There were helpful test taking tips throughout the text as well as in the first few pages. I passed the test with ease and I feel that I owe a lot to this book and CD for helping me prepare for the test taking atmosphere. THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!
