5.0 out of 5 stars Great review book for shelf, August 3, 2010

This review is from: Neurology PreTest Self-Assessment & Review, Seventh Edition (PreTest Clinical Medicine) (Paperback)

I used this book to study for my neurology shelf exam. I thought this was a great review overall. I have not always been a huge fan of pretest, but I thought that the neuro pretest tested the right material with the right amount of repetition and also didn't include the minutia that some of the other pretest books do. I think that this book is a must have for anyone on neurology.

This review is from: Neurology PreTest Self-Assessment & Review, Seventh Edition (PreTest Clinical Medicine) (Paperback)

I along with a number of friends read both this book and the case files for our neurology shelf exam. Although case files is generally an adequate review for the shelf, this was NOT the case for neurology. However, Pretest was absolutely dead on in its review of material for the shelf. I read the book quickly in the 2 days prior to the test, and I attribute my high score to its impeccable coverage of tested material. Highly recommended if you are studying for the shelf.

This review is from: Neurology: PreTest Self-Assessment and Review, Sixth Edition (McGraw-Hill's Pretest Self-Assessment & Review) (Paperback)

I think this book is great for USMLE Step 2 CK.
It gives you an exposure to a wide variety of neurological diseases, from horses to zebras.
If you want a great score in USMLE Step 2 CK, I think this book will be very helpful to build a solid body of knowledge in Neurology.
The new edition has many improved clinical vignettes and some new radiological images.
In summary, this is a great book!
