Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Waste of time and money
I bought this book thinking that there would be explanations for each question. This book is a complete joke. Only about a third of the questions have any sort of explanation at all. Many of the rest just give reference page numbers to other texts. A lot, however, just give credit for a slide and not even a reference. The minority that have any sort of explanation are very weak.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book but errors need to be fixed!!
The book is well written with good questions. My only complaint is that there are some mistakes (missing labels and wrong answers) which at time can be frustrating or confusing. Also, every answer should say why it is correct and the others are wrong (this is key to studying). Overall, I recommend this book to any resident preparing for the neurosurgical written boards.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great addition
This book is a great addition to the Citow text. I highly recommend it for those studying for the boards because it reminds you that the boards aren't in outline format. Doing questions will keep you thinking on your toes and help test your knowledge of neurosurgical basic science and basic clinical information.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must have...
Although the target audiance is small for this book, the few hundred residents sitting for the written portion of the Neurosurgical boards will find this a very helpful study aid. The organization of the book closely mirrors that of the exam content. The major topical categories are represented; Neurobiology, anatomy, pathology, critical care, radiology and Neurosurgery. The book adopts a question based format, similar to that of the actual examination. The pathology and radiology sections ... Read More
