 A Great Pretest for Family Medicine--Beats Case Files, Hands Down! November 11, 2009
Descubre
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This was the only book I needed to get through Family Medicine. I tried reading CaseFiles before this test and, as in Internal Medicine, I didn't retain the information. It's difficult to keep the vast details of an entire case in one's mind weeks after merely reading about it.
If you are the kind of person who does well by looking at sample tests before you take the real thing, PreTest is much better. I swear some of the questions in here came straight off the shelf. Yes, I was still stumped sometimes. But after reading this book literally the two days before (no sleep!), I passed the shelf with room to spare. It takes about 48 hours or more to read the thing if you don't stop. I don't suggest taking such risks, but this is a super-helpful book to go over just before the exam.
 Good Review for Shelf Exams. Great Pocket Size November 14, 2009
Jmhere (Los Angeles, CA)
This has good overall review questions for the family medicine shelf exams. It fits well in the white coat pocket so you can bring it on the wards with you. The questions are pretty reflective of what i saw on my shelf exam. DOesn't help as much for board exams.
 Utterly and Completely Useless for Boards February 18, 2010

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book markets itself as essential to learning for the Boards/Step 2 CK, along with the FM shelf. I can't comment on how useful it is for the shelf exam, since my med school does not require taking a FM shelf. However, it is completely useless for CK. None of this subject material was on my CK, and the question types did not at all approximate what I encountered on that exam (on which I got a 95/230 using mostly Step Up to Medicine and USMLE World). The publisher/author should stop marketing this book as essential for the boards because I'm sure they know it is totally irrelevant to the Boards. Their dishonest marketing does a disservice to medical students who already have a lot to study for boards without wondering whether to add Pretest FM to their list. I give it 2 stars only because it was a decent adjunct to Blueprint Clinical Cases in Family Medicine for reading for my FM rotation.
