4.0 out of 5 stars Accurate Examples of Questions, December 16, 2007
By Steversmatrix "steversmatrix" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
I also found this $75 book to be more valuable than a $1000 "No Pass No Pay" Family Medicine Review Course. While that review course really delivered excellent information, little of it actually appeared on the exam. In contrast, this book contains questions very close to what you actually see on the test. Sure there are little mistakes and some annoying repetition of topics but nothing any of us could not get beyond. If you are not doing general geriatric and pediatric care or obstetrics, this book serves as a great starting point to explore the latest thinking. Similarly, if you don't do primary care, make sure to memorize the USPSTF and ACIP guidelines. Most importantly, do as many questions as you can from the ABFM website. I passed with above average scores but would have done even better if I had reviewed more of their sample questions. Good Luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bratton's Family Practice Board Review, August 7, 2006
By Carrie M. Britt "kevin" (Madison, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After taking the recert. exam, I found that Bratton's review helped more than the 40+ hour review "boot camp" that I attented. Question foremat was very similar to the board exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Review of Core Subjects in Family Medicine, January 25, 2005
Family Practice Board Review is an excellent review of core subjects in family medicine. The text provides a breadth of coverage of information that commonly appears on the Board exam. The questions help to identify areas of weakness in the family medicine knoweldge base such that further, deeper study can become focused. The test questions are written in the style of the Board exam; this provides good practice for the real exam. My friend recently took the computerized version of the Board exam and said that the Bratton text helped him to study and pass. I highly recommend it, especially for family medicine resident physicians.
