I used this for the FM shelf a few years ago. Bought the new kindle edition when the third edition came out. I like it a lot more. One of the annoying things about the hard copy was having to skip back and forth between the text and answers. Kindle version is easier, just click on the number, then click back. I have had a bit of trouble sometimes if I try to click the number and the kindle thinks I'm trying to change pages though. So for that reason I give it 4 stars. Not quite enough info for the FM boards, but good for shelf. There isn't really a good book for the shelf, this is pretty close.
I found this book very helpful as a question-book to help me study for the family medicine shelf exam. The questions are challenging and the answers provide good explanations. I have the kindle version, and it works great for the e-reader. You can just tap on the question number to switch between questions and answers-- something I haven't found optimized in some other e-reader question books.
The questions are poorly written, often do not present conditions well, and explanations are lacking.Would not use this again for the Shelf Exam. Would use AAFP questions, NMS Q book for question resources.
Too many arguable answers and question stems. The questions were quick to answer. In light of this, the explanations were simple and effective. However this applies to about 1/2 of the 500 questions. The book is definitely worth the purchase though because you can run through the questions in 2 days and you'll cover a lot of topics. Then you can read more about what you got wrong with other books like case files or a family medicine textbook. So in other words I would just use pretest as a tool to highlight weaknesses and then do the actual studying elsewhere. Also after running through about 100 questions you can gauge which questions are good quality and which questions are poorly thought out.
This book was very useful for Family Medicine shelf exam. It was especially useful because there aren't any Family Medicine sections in UWorld or Kaplan online qbanks. A lot of the questions in here were basically the same as what I saw on test day. A lot of my peers recommend Case Files, but I found this one more useful. If you had to get this book, go for the Kindle version because it makes switching back and forth between question and answer very easy.
You are definitely not getting Uworld caliber questions or explanations here. Some of the questions are needlessly deceiving, the rest are often much too easy. That said, if you need a single source to power through the week before the exam, it's not the worst way to spend your time.
Contains a lot of good information, though a lot of it seems to be the personal opinion of the couple of authors cited by the book. Questions seem to test you on a sentence or two from these sources. Many are written cryptically.
this was in prep for my first shelf exam but I think it did a fair job. I had it on my tablet and would do a few questions every time I had a break. If you've never used Pre-test before, it covers most of the topics but does not try to mimic the actual exam like UWorld. Each question has an explanation for the correct answer but these are not as thorough as UWorld answers. Still, I did well and found it to be helpful.
