Customer Reviews

Essential book for your medical school interview preparation
I bought this book for my son who applied to med school in four difficult universities. The techniques are very well described, backed up with good pertinent examples that can be used to forge one's own answers. The discussions on ethical issues are extremely useful and to the point. I thoroughly recommend it. It may cost a few quids more than other books but it will make a massive difference to your success rate. My son got offers from all the universities he applied to and will be starting at Manchester Medical School soon.

The only book you'll ever need for getting into medical school
Using this book got me 2/4 offers for medicine (after using it for 2 interviews). The book does exactly what it says on the cover. It goes into extensive detail on how to answer a range of questions, from explaining how to tackle ethical scenarios, euthanasia and abortion issues to detailing government influence in healthcare and even describing how teamwork, communication and leadership plays out in a healthcare setting.

Absolute Brilliance
Very informative and up to date book which doesn't give the answers straight away, but implores you to think of them yourself, and then helps with the finer points and structure of your answer. With two offers under my belt now, I am very grateful for this book which really improved my confidence when I walked into the interview room-And I firmly believe that it was the 'clincher' for me this year. I would definately reccomend this book!
Thankyou so much!
