I bought this book to help me study for the ARDMS examinations. I think that I can give it an adequate review, now that I have gone through both sections, the Abdomen portion and the OB/GYN portion.This book is really meant as a review to study for the ARDMS exams. Although the book clearly states that "... this book is not intended for those just beginning their studies..." I found it to be very concise, and a great "start point" to build from. Specially if you are overwhelmed by how much info there is to know, and don't know where to start.Bottom line: The book is very well organized, concise, and objective. Highly recommended.Other studying tips associated to use of this book:I used this book in conjunction to the Internet (Google is your friend, specially for images of pathology you haven't seen before), books, and other media (for instance, the CD that came with this book, which is also great by the way).If you are taking your ARDMS exams for the first time, and don't know what to expect (ie how hard the questions are), the CD that comes with this book is a great resource. If you studied the CD too much, so much that you start scoring high because you memorized the questions (that happened to me) and need to find out how ready you are to take the real test, you might want to consider Dr. Edelman's "X-Zone" website: [...]I also tried the mock-exam from the ARDMS website for $25, and found that the questions on their mock-test are much easier than the ones on the actual test. I don't recommend it. I found that the X-zone mock-test questions are more similar to the actual ARDMS exam.Good luck!
The CD that goes along with this book is thorough and very helpful. I passed the abdomen exam with a high score and no poblems; (I had previously failed this exam when using the appleton and lange review book;-big yellow waste of money-)This book is definitely a good buy.
I purchased this review text after already having taken a seminar. I liked it very much. It was simplistic and to the point. I felt the CD/ROM was the most helpful. The mock exams explained why you were getting answers correct or incorrect. There were helpful test taking tips throughout the text as well as in the first few pages. I passed the test with ease and I feel that I owe a lot to this book and CD for helping me prepare for the test taking atmosphere. THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!!
I purchased this book after failing the Abdomen registry twice and this was definitely a godsend. The review CD was very helpful and a lot of the registry questions are on the mock exams they provide you with. They also divided the mock exam by each subject (liver, biliary tee, etc.) so you can find out what your weak subject is. Highly recommended!
I read the other reviews for this book and thought this was definitely what I needed to pass my abdomen registry. -wrong!! I read and studied every chapter. I took the tests. I did the review cd and took the tests on that as well. I made almost perfect scores on the review tests. Needless to say today when I took the exam I did not pass. The questions on the registry are much harder than in this book and a lot of the questions brought up things this book didn't even mention.Also I thought the registry had a lot of abdominal vasculature and doppler questions on it. Moreso than I thought it would based on percentages. .. Oh well. Maybe it was just my test .. :(
The images used for the practice exams are horrible!!!! But considering thats what you get on the RDMS, I guess its a good preparation. The review section is VERY basic. I did like how the answers to the practice exams also gave a little explanation and it broke everything down so you could see where you are weak in.
I think this was a great book to use for my review. I in no way would say that using this book solely will guarantee a passing score but in combination with Davies Abdomen Review and Edelman's online X-zone questions I think you will be well on your way. I think the key to passing the abdomen exam is to test your knowledge with as many different questions as you possible can. In my own opinion, I thought the test was harder than I expected and again, because of the vast amount of information that there is to cover when it comes to the abdomen, I would recommend testing yourself with as many different types of questions as possible!Overall this is a great start if your frustrated and don't know where to begin because the information is set up in sections, allowing you to concentrate on different parts at a time rather than all at once. The disk is also great if your one who can't stand the whole book thing and are more of a computer person!
Hi, I would recommend this book for anyone who will be taking their abdomen boards. I studied from this book and passed my abdomen exam :). The cd that comes with the book is a great tool, it has detailed explaination of all the answers. And I love the "tips on how to take the exam" that they have on the first few pages. I give an A++ for this book. I will be using the same book for my OB/GYN boards.
