 Rating: - Don't overuse itThis is a good review book and it helped point out some weak areas that I had to do further studying in. One mistake I made was making this text my main part of studying for the boards, I went through some sections several times and was doing fairly well on the practice exams. What I did not realize is that I was starting to recognize the right answers since the questions are used over again for the online banks of questions, so when I took the board exam my score was actually lower than what I was ... Read More Rating:  - I scored in th 98% after this reviewI used the book for my Family Practice Boards in 2008 and did better than before. I read it once and only underlined what I didn't know but thought was important. 2 weeks before the test I took 10 pages of notes on those underlined items. I also saw many questions from the practice exams for the residents. You should review the last 3 years of the inservice exam. I sent in the $20 and received the CME. The entire book is questions with explanations and I was never bored. Rating:  - Helpful, but certainly not well edited.I just finished the book. I prefer to do questions when studying for boards. It is a good book to use to study just prior to the boards and helps get you in the mind set of thinking in terms of questions. My biggest gripe about the book is that some of the answers were just plain wrong...and the explanations that were given to substantiate the wrong answers contradicted the answers. There were some typos as well. Having some noticeably wrong answers does not give me a whole lot of confidence ... Read More Rating:  - okay, but not greatI used this to study for the recertification exam in the summer of '09. I passed the exam, but I'm not sure how much this book helped. It focused a lot of questions on certain diseases that were not on the exam, and some diseases that were hit multiple times on the exam were never mentioned in the book. Also, like other reviewers have mentioned, there are numerous mistakes and dated practice guidelines in the book. If I had to do it over again, I would try a different book. Rating: - Limited reviewFair amount of questions for review but not as intensive as other books. Some editing errors but not intolerable.
