 - Great start point to study for the ARDMS boardsI bought this book to help me study for the ARDMS examinations. I think that I can give it an adequate review, now that I have gone through both sections, the Abdomen portion and the OB/GYN portion. This book is really meant as a review to study for the ARDMS exams. Although the book clearly states that "... this book is not intended for those just beginning their studies..." I found it to be very concise, and a great "start point" to build from. Specially if you are overwhelmed by how much info there is to know, and don't know where to start. Bottom line: The book is very well organized, concise, and objective. Highly recommended. Other studying tips associated to use of this book: I used this book in conjunction to the Internet (Google is your friend, specially for images of pathology you haven't seen before), books, and other media (for instance, the CD that came with this book, which is also great by the way). If you are taking your ARDMS exams for the first time, and don't know what to expect (ie how hard the questions are), the CD that comes with this book is a great resource. If you studied the CD too much, so much that you start scoring high because you memorized the questions (that happened to me) and need to find out how ready you are to take the real test, you might want to consider Dr. Edelman's "X-Zone" website: http://www.esp-inc.com/Purchase/X-Zone.aspx I also tried the mock-exam from the ARDMS website for $25, and found that the questions on their mock-test are much easier than the ones on the actual test. I don't recommend it. I found that the X-zone mock-test questions are more similar to the actual ARDMS exam. Good luck! Rating: - GREAT investment!This book REALLY prepared me for the exam. I purchased it less than 3 weeks prior to taking the exam and I PASSED on the 1st try! :) You will find the mock exams to be extremely helpful and ALOT like the actual exam. **hint hint** Rating: - I finally passed the Abdomen portion!I purchased this book after failing the Abdomen registry twice and this was definitely a godsend. The review CD was very helpful and a lot of the registry questions are on the mock exams they provide you with. They also divided the mock exam by each subject (liver, biliary tee, etc.) so you can find out what your weak subject is. Highly recommended!
