4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Neurology Boards, November 19, 1999

This review is from: Neurology for the Boards (Paperback)

Boards are zebras in action and no one deals with 'common topics' anymore. This book, therefore, emphasizes the commonly uncommon that need to be crammed just for the exams.

This review is from: Neurology for the Boards (Paperback)

This book is pretty much just an outline of neurology topics without much information/detail. It's not a book to "read" or even to prepare you, it might be useful as a book to identify areas you need to review. I didn't find it very useful for specialty board or in-service exam review.

3.0 out of 5 stars No focus - too much information, January 27, 2006

This review is from: Neurology for the Boards (Paperback)

This book - basically a large outline of neurology topics - is too broad, without focus and not an ideal way to prepare for the boards (even though it seems to be the most popular book out there). I used some of the old Rite exam questions and a few question/answer books as well - much more helpful.
