This review is from: Psychiatry: PreTest Self-Assessment & Review (PreTest Series) (Paperback)

This was the only book I used during my clinical rotation in Psych. Fadem's High Yield Psych is also great. If you're planning on becoming a psychiatrist, then you should get the massive Synopsis of Psychiatry... which I always thought was just way too much info for most people.
This book fits in your white coat pocket and is great for reviewing questions in your spare time. It consists of tons of board-type questions in the same format as all the other Pre-test books, complete with explanations.

This review is from: Psychiatry: PreTest Self-Assessment & Review (PreTest Series) (Paperback)

I used this book on my psych clerkship and found it to be very helpful. Most of the questions are well written and relevant. A few similar ones even showed up on my shelf test. I recommend this book.
