answer, illustrations in some places to aid in learning, key facts

Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ Different authors write different topics and explanations- some sections
are stellar with succinct explanations and bold face key words while other
sections are sheer ranting and make me even more confused than before I
started. Topics are somewhat outdated (quit talking about halothane!!!). I
only got through 3 chapters before I moved onto other question banks like
M5 review online and passmachine. Would NOT recommend.

⭐ Chock full of typos, suboptimally phrased questions, and even a pair of
figures that were swapped, this book is nonetheless a good source of review
questions. Actually, it’s a good source of review answers. There are a
number of ambiguously worded question stems, and several where I would
disagree with the provided answer. But the explanations are generally
concise and helpful.There are also a bunch of questions asking about
halothane, and some asking about barbiturates no longer available in the
US. Despite these issues, when taken with a grain of salt, this is a solid
question bank.

⭐ This book saved my fanny for both the ITE and the Part 1 Board
Examination. Very good questions, every extensive explanations with sources
cited for further reading. I used this in combination with Barash, Jensen’s
review, and got and passed both the ITE and Part 1 after having some
trouble with the ITE in my earlier years.I had tried Hall for a question
book. I found that it was rather dated, even in its latest edition. This
was much more up to date. I had my program director, competency committee
members, and oral board examiners go over this book. All were in agreement
that this was an excellent source. Yes, halothane is included, which is
still used in some parts of the world if you do missionary work. But newest
concepts were there.My only complaint is that the answers didn’t reference
the ABA Keywords they were connected to. I would encourage the authors to
do so with the next edition. Aside from that, I had no complaints.If you
learn by asking questions, this is the book for you.

⭐ Who wrote this book??? My goodness, the number of errors I have found are
astounding. Some chapters have incredibly low yield and poorly written
questions. Sometimes the explanations are so detailed and the only thing
missing is addressing the initial question! Don’t even get me started on
the Pharmacology chapter. Wow, just awful.I really liked M5 and Hall.
Please, please please do yourself a favor and use those over this book.

⭐ Would not use for boards. A big waste of time. Way too in depth, does not
cover high yield topics. Use m5 or old age questions. This will get you
nowhere. Luckily a buddy showed me other resources before I wasted more
time with this.

⭐ I have been using it to study for boards and is extremely helpful.
Questions are well written and the answer explanations are thorough with
source(s) for additional reading on the topic. I highly recommend this
book.I wish they would make an online interactive version of the questions
as it gets a bit annoying flipping pages back and forth and trying not to
accidentally glance at the answer for the next question.

⭐ bought it at the advise of a friend even though it was pricey – after
reading a couple of chapters, wasn’t impressed at all – there were some
points that contradicted each other in the chapters that i read, references
for some guidelines were outdated and did not reflect changes in guidelines
that were published long before the release of the book, some outright
mistakes…..on the positive side, the book does have a good number of
questions on a wide range of topics….

⭐ This has been a great review book. In general, the questions in this book
are more difficult and dive deeper than those in Hall or in old ACE exams.
The other key to any question/review book is explanations. This book’s are
fantastic. Most explanations tell you why the correct answer is correct and
why the others are incorrect. This gives you a better educational
experience.Only knock on it is that there are a few questions on halothane.
Other than that. It’s great.

⭐ It’s a good review for written tests, but it has some controversial
points. Overall, I recommend this reading for those who want to be well
prepared for tests.

⭐ The questions in this book reference reliable sources such as Barash and
Miller so it is great to have an additional question book. I plan on using
this along with Big Blue, Hall and ACE questions for my boards this summer.
Great charts/graphs. A few typos but I’m sure it will be fixed as this is
the first edition.
