Which of the following best expresses your innermost thoughts? (A) I hate multiple-choice exams. (B) I wish there were a better way to prepare for the test. (C) I know the material, but I don't do well on standardized exams. (D) I worry about the consequences of not passing. (E) All of the above. Answer: E The multiple-choice question above strikes fear into the heart of every medical student. They must all pass USMLE "board" and NBME "shelf" exams. As a clinical professor who teaches medical students and residents, author Mary K. Miller has seen some of her best and brightest students stumble when taking multiple-choice tests. To help them, she has developed the Aim Your Brain Study System. Her techniques include: Laying the foundation for how to study for USMLE Step 1; Using the AIM YOUR BRAIN Study System to overcome the "I hate multiple-choice exams" mindset; and helping students overcome test anxiety and other difficult issues.

Rating: - Great book for everything, not just the STEPThis book even helped during my regular semester exams! Fantastic resource, combine it with the First Aid Question book. Rating: - lucky usmle readerThis book is a life saver for ANY student taking standardized exams.

I actually recommend reading this book prior to medical school. I wish I had read this book before medical school. The method in this book is simple yet highly effective.
