Title: Most disappointing of PreTest books I have used
Review: In brief, I used the Ob-Gyn, Psychiatry, and Peds pre-tests for my shelf exams. Thus, I picked up a copy of this book to study for my surgery shelf. I was very disappointed.Problems:-This book beyond the level of a third- or fourth-year medical student. The questions are too detailed and esoteric. I think even a surgical intern or resident would have a hard time with these questions.-Many of the explanations are convoluted, and there is no clear cut answer given in the actual explanation. I will echo the sentiment that the explanations seem contradictory, and you are often left wondering, "Why is my answer wrong then?" after reading an explanation.I advise using the other PreTest books, but clearly this text is not worth your time.
