I have looked through this book and I thinks it's pretty good. To me it was an updated version of the Uphold and Graham's Clinical Practice Guidelines. I plan to buy one. It can't hurt to have both.

review books are nice, but remember that we fight the way we train. the pathophysiology and the thought process won’t ever change no matter what book you read. what will get better with practice is sitting at a computer comfortably with ear plugs and reading questions, answering and moving on.

when i started studying for the gre years ago, i bought a book, but found the cd so interactive and helpful that i never used the actual book.

fitzgerald’s book is nice with rationales and comes with a cd. i’m sure all of the guides written by even mildly competent authors will suffice. i’m a huge fan of training to do exactly what is required of me. if taking boards required me to read books – i’d go that route. when testing has me sitting at a pc taking an adaptive test – i practice taking those (the fitzgerald cd is not adaptive though).

I have not seen any review on this book. Just curious to know what you think about it. Thanks.

Hi Labbio,

I've been trying to reply to your message but I don't think I have enough privileges to do it. I love this book and it has been helpful for me in studying and also at clinical as a quick reference. I would recommend it to anyone needing to review for classes, boards of just for practice. The author Amelie Hollier also has a great review course; I got her CD's and I love it!
