5.0 out of 5 stars I like this study guide, April 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers (Paperback)

This book was a recommended study guide for my microbiology class. I found this book to be great for test preparation. The last review seemed to be mean-spirited. How could the previous reviewer make such an assumption without even reading the book? I wouldn't be surprised that this title appeared as a recommened reading in other book listings because it's a great study guide. Anyway, this book contributed to me getting excellent grades in my microbiology class. This book showed me which info was important for my exams.

This review is from: Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers (Paperback)

I'm a medical student and found this book to be an excellent study guide. It helped me with studying for the USLME Step 1. I don't agree at all with the previous negative review. I give this book 5 stars because it showed me the type of questions to study for on my medical microbiology exams. It also proved to be a wonderful reference for USLME Step 1.
