Useful for MCEM part A
I bought this book when preparing for MCEM part A, after many hours on amazon searching for suitable MCQ books for the exam. Unfortunately, there just aren't many resources specific to this absolute beast of an exam out there, so it was this book or nothing!

Get through A&E contains plenty of MCQs, but it has to be said that they are of more of a clinical persuasion rather than simply basic sciences. I think this is because it's also designed for use when studying for MRCSA&E which is more clinically based. That being said, there is an anatomy chapter which is great but the book could benefit from chapters on physiology / pharmacology as there were tons of these questions in my exam. However, the exam still contained quite a few clinical knowledge questions so all the existing chapters are of use for MCEM.

Get Through... is definitely worth buying, and like any MCQ book can be used to direct your revision through identification of knowledge gaps. I used it like this and managed to pass part A first time, so I recommend it highly.

Needed better proof-reading before publication
Useful collection of MCQs for practising towards MCEM and one of only a small number of books out at present. However marked down as infuriatingly high number of errors in the questions and answers. Look out for a revised edition if they produce one.
