 Rating: - Good to start with, but not to take to the finish lineI purchased this early on in residency with the aim of writing a lot of notes in the margins to complement my studying, supplemented by PREP content specs.

It is well written, with a logical structure and a concise nature. However, in an effort to maintain conciseness, I feel some pertinent information has been left out. This book is best used by people who study over a long period - and then you will have an opportunity ... Read More
