1.0 out of 5 stars Many errors in both the book and the CD, February 19, 2005

This review is from: Physician Assistant Review (Book ) with CDROM (Paperback)

After reading the first few sections of the book, I abandoned it for more accurate resources due to the sheer number of factual and typographical errors I had found. The CD-based quiz also contained many errors--including test questions where interpretation of an EKG was required, but an image of an X-ray was shown, or vice versa. Out of 8 image interpretation questions, I counted only one where the picture matched the question stem and choices. Also, many of the "explanation" windows for the test questions did not really address why each choice was right or wrong, but just added another piece of trivia about the disorder. I feel the editing of both the book and CD need work, and the explanations for the answers should be more detailed. At most, this item could be used as an outline for study, while using other sources to check facts.

This review is from: Physician Assistant Review (Book ) with CDROM (Paperback)

comprehensive review for clinical medicine year courses, good outline review for PANCE/PANRE. Great opporuntity with the CD ROM to test yourself and "create" tests that specificaly target your individual area(s) of deficiencies.
