Customer Reviews

An essential revision book for Finals and MRCS
I had no idea how useful this little book would turn out to be when I bought it on impulse just before my Finals at Med School.
The section on systems examinations proved particularly useful for structuring the physical examination in a logical fashion along with explanations for each manouvre.
I used this to consolidate my revision for the Clinical Finals and,three years' later, I used it in the run-up to my Clinical exam for MRCS (and noticed others leafing through their copies too on a revision course!).
In my opinion, this book is a Must-Have. It is succinct, clearly written and excellent value for money.

Very useful
I found that the Pastest books for finals - both the structured answer and essay questions and the multiple choice where invaluable to my study. A set of questions for each surgical specialty and notes for each answer given makes this book and others like it an excellent learning tool combining practice examination technique with an excellent textbook on the conditions covered.

Highly recommended.
