Most Helpful Customer Reviews 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for NBME Shelf Exam, October 2, 2005 By  Indentured servant "Junior med student" (GA) - See all my reviews This book is great for the NBME Shelf exam. I am a 3rd year medical student who recently took the test and this book hit most (if not all) of the topics covered by the exam. It also presents the topics in table form to point out slight differences in clinical presentation that will help you make the diagnosis. There is also an appendix that lists answers to "what is the most common...." which is helpful for the shelf exam and answering attendings questions while on rotations. This book also has some very helpful diagrams, particularly pertaining to twin placentation. I would highly recommend this book to other med students. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, yet concise., July 7, 2005 By  Fernando A.
