I purchased this for parts 1 and 2 and used it quite a bit. Unfortunately the things the book emphasized were not really well represented on boards. I saw maybe a handful of questions that were remotely close. The book is well organized and written. However, the rationale for why the right answer is right is sometimes all you get. That is, only occassionally do you get a rationale for why the wrong answer is wrong. Sometimes you get a wonderfully detailed explanation of why this one is right or wrong, and other times you are left high and dry looking for supplemental information on Google.Too, the software on the CD needs some work. Navigating from one subject to the next is clumsy, at best. Too, if you take one of the "practice exams," you can't just take a 110 question spinal exam for example, to simulate actual testing conditions. Instead, you get a 110-question exam that pulls from all 6 subjects. This of course isn't ideal for someone who wants to focus on one particular subject or to find out where they stand.Finally, the book focuses a LOT on obscure things that you would think boards would like. For example, things like the Foramen of Winslow, the asymmetry of testicular venous drainage, and the arcades of the small intestines. Yet I didn't really find these random trivia facts very well represented on boards.To summarize, I wouldn't buy this book again. At $60, I expect the software on the CD to be more refined, and more importantly, I expect the content the book covers to be a fairly good representation of what is on the test (which is was not).
I would not use this book to take parts 1 or 2 again. It's okay but not great. This book will just give you a ROUGH idea what the questions CAN be like. In all likelihood you won't get many, if any, of these questions. I suspect national boards has numerous sets of exams and randomly chooses which set to use for all parts of boards. There are lots of resources out there for boards. Red pages with black type give me a headache, which is a different resource than this one. Irene Gold is another resource and maybe one of the better ones because it exposes what you don't know and forces you to study those parts.
This book was one of the best tools that I used to study for Part I NBCE. The vast majority of the questions in the book were more challenging than the questions I encountered on the real exam, so I felt well prepared. Some of the questions were similar on the real exam, but I got most of the benefit from working through the concepts presented as questions by Mosby. The answer keys provide explanations re: why the wrong answers are wrong and why the right answer is right. Highly recommend using it along with your own notes or a review book to bring concepts together. Also worked well using it in groups to be able to talk about concepts. Don't even think twice; this book is awesome.
This book covers very very basic material. I used it only for the practices section and it did not resemble most of the questions on the test. However, the questions in the book come with great descriptions to describe how to arrive at the answer. I liked the explanations because no other review material I bought provided that. I would suggest this book to those that are using it to review for the entire part 2, instead of just the practices section.
I just took boards and this was a good supplement to the Irene Gold packet. Boards are tough no matter what, but I appreciated having this tool available to me. The worst part is that the cd doesn't work in newer macs. I had to install and run windows on my machine to get the cd to work.
There are tons of questions on every different subject matter and the explanations for the answers tell not only why the right answer is right, but why the wrong answers are wrong. Highly recomended as part of your board review library.
The program worked fine... until I upgraded my Mac to Lion. The review program is too old and uses Rosetta to run, which is no longer supported by Apple.
This is a pretty good book. I wouldn't recommend it as your only study guide, but as a supplement for a board review class (try Irene Gold! - best in the business!). After taking the board review class, getting through this book was not difficult.
