This review is from: Pharmacology Recall (Paperback)

This book can DRASTICALLY reduce the amount of time you will spend revising pharmacology. Most review books are written in a paragraph form that does not at all aid the visual memorization of the page ; Something that makes one lose focus as one reads more and, after sometime, the acquired information starts to melt together into a perfectly unrecognizable cocktail that can by no means help one in an exam setting , much less in a clinical one. This book, however ,with its question-answer format, presents the information in a very memorable and thought-provoking manner that makes later revision a MUCH easier task than the revision of other review books. With all due respect to the great and famous Lippincot Pharmacology , this book is a lot better . It has almost all the information in Lippincot but written in a more user-friendly manner. It is GREAT for USMLE Step 1. Be good to yourself and buy this book.

This review is from: Pharmacology Recall (Paperback)

I recently came across Pharmacology Recall in the book store and it was a great find! The book is concise so i was able to review a large amount of high yield information quickly. This book works well with lippincott's pharmacology as well. I have highly recommended it to other second years.
