Excellent self-assessment for med students & even physicians

I wish I bough this book when I was a med student. It's a comprehensive self-assessment review for med students and even physicians.Features:1. It has variety of MCQs (500) covering wide range of medical specialties.2. Very informative explanations at the end of each chapter.3. A bibliography that lists all the sources used in the book.4. Most of the MCQs are case-oriented, thought you will find some factual questions like (All the following are present in Cushing syndrome EXCEPT).5. The types of questions used are: Single-best-answer, matching, and one, two, neither, or both (which are often difficult).6. No picture questions.7. Contents include:General appearance of disease, Head Eyes Ears Nose and Throat, CVS, Thorax, Abdomen, MSK, Genitourinary Dermatology, and Neurology.8. It comes in 177 pages, published by McGraw Hill Text; 3rd ed (1998).

Excellent source

Excellent preparation for the NBME shelf subject test; the questions are of a similar level of difficulty. Few picky questions as compared to other pretest books. Lacks the high yield facts section of other books of the series.
