This is the book I used mostly to help me study for boards. You should see the inside of it! I have highlights, extra written notes and post-its and hand-outs all over the inside. It's not perfect and could have more things added, but I really liked it...especially the pre and post tests that are included.

I don't love the way the book is organized. Some of it could have been done better. I'm just not happy with the fact that I can't access the online version or the test questions anymore...because there is a newer version. Lame.

This was a frustrating book because I found some mistakes in the answer keys to sample questions...not so helpful when you question wether your review book is correct!
