Family Medicine: PreTest Self-Assessment and Review (PreTest Clinical Science)2 reviews Doug Knutson McGraw-Hill Medical, 2007 Good enough to use + Standard Pre-test Because the FM NBME is fairly new there aren't a lot of review books out there for it (there is not a FM section of Kaplan). I found Case files extremely helpful, but this book was a good way to polish off studying the day or two before the test. It isn't exactly like the test, but is the best ...             Blueprints Surgery (Blueprints Series)10 reviews Seth J Karp, James PG Morris, ... Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009 don't believe the anti hype + Great book, better price the shelf exam emphasized all the main topics that were indeed covered in blueprints surgery.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006 Informative and Useful Though General Medicine study guides abound, few present case studies as clearly and effectively as Blueprints.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009 MUST HAVE FOR IM ROTATION + Blueprints-medicine + A good source + great book!!             Obstetrics and Gynecology: PreTest Self-Assessment And Review, Eleventh Edition (PreTest Clinical Science)2 reviews Karen Schneider, Stephen Patrick McGraw-Hill Medical, 2006 Very helpful! I was surprised, the PreTest series is very good for shelf review and USMLE Step 2 CK. Both questions and answers are detailed and explanatory. It's like a Qbook, but small enough that you can take with you on travels (like when doing rotations or if ur trying to do Step 2 while interviewing) to ...             Blueprints Pediatrics (Blueprints Series)25 reviews Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008 Blueprints Pediatrics + Blueprints This series is FANTASTIC for any medical, DO or PA student. They give you the nuts and bolts of most disorders seen in 2 pages. They are easy to understand and read. They are a wonderful asset for clinical rotations.             Medicine: PreTest Self-Assessment And Review, Eleventh Edition (Pretest Series)1 review Steven Berk McGraw-Hill Medical, 2006 Not the best resource While some of the pretest books out there are excellent for shelf exam preparation, this book is lacking in terms of how representative the quetsions are. The best resource for the internal medicine shelf in my opinion is the MKSAP For Students available in book and CD form from the ACP. The ...             Blueprints Obstetrics and Gynecology (Blueprints Series)28 reviews Tamara L Callahan, Aaron B Caughey Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008 Blueprints: OG/BYN + Medical student worthy for wards + Good book + Blueprints - OB/Gyn + good review book             Case Files Neurology (LANGE Case Files)6 reviews Eugene Toy, Ericka Simpson, ... McGraw-Hill Medical, 2007 Excellent for the shelf + Case Files: Neurology + good book but I was very hesitant about using this book for the neurology shelf exam because it is so new (2008). I wondered if it would be foolish to not use something more "tried and true." However, after reading three chapters of Blueprints (which I found to be too simplistic) and not having the energy to ...             Case Files Psychiatry, Second Edition (LANGE Case Files)14 reviews Eugene Toy, Debra Klamen McGraw-Hill Medical, 2006 Awesome, almost comprehensive + case files review + Great short review for ABPN psychiatric oral board vignette cases + Case Files Psychiatry             Case Files Obstetrics and Gynecology, Second Edition (LANGE Case Files)15 reviews Eugene Toy, Benton Baker III, ...

McGraw-Hill Medical, 2006 Case files + Good shelf review, not really good for surgical pimp questions + Fantastic! I read ONLY this book and passed the shelf. Case Files is extremely helpful for all rotations and surgery is no exception. The charts in the book are helpful and I frequently referenced them. It also included surgical cases that I did not come across in other books, which made me feel like Case Files ensured I didn't miss any major topic. It ...             Blueprints Family Medicine (Blueprints Series)7 reviews Martin S Lipsky, Mitchell S King Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2005 A good Review + serves its purpose well + Worth its price... I thought this book was very good. It covers common topics found in family med, like cough, chest pain, nausea ect. Then it goes over the basics of some commonly found illnesses. I like the way it goes over each topic, it gives a lot of detail with out making each section too long. I really like ...             Blueprints Bundle6 reviews Vincent B. Young, William A.

I just took my exam and my only regret is that I didn't do more of this book. Yes, the questions and explanations are very detailed but they go ...
