Great questions and explanations in the back. I'd pair this with the Robbins question book for studying Pathology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent addition to coursework
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2012

Perhaps it would be better to relate this book as a PreTest book for the foundations of pathology. Just as the previous reviewer noted, it is broken up by system and does not have a set of questions dedicated to those symptoms that can cross multiple organ systems.

That being said, if your program uses Robbins and is systems-based, then this book is an excellent addition to your study materials. For a typical medical pathology course, I would first recommend Robbin's Review of Pathology, then this book. I also favor question style review of material, so I'm biased towards these types of books instead of Goljan and other summary-style books.

If you're prepping for a major exam like Step 1 or the pathology Shelf Exam, this book can be useful, but an online q-bank would be your best bet.

I felt it was good for getting a knowledge base, but it wasn't enough to challenge you the way Uworld (or to a lesser extent Kaplan) does so you'll get the tricky questions right on step

3.0 out of 5 stars Not challenging enough
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2011
Verified Purchase
The questions presented in this edition of Path PreTest are NOT challenging enough.

1. There are too many first-order questions that simply test your memorization skills and not enough critical thinking questions.
2. Secondly, the questions asked on the exams at my medical school were not in isolation: meaning that I had to determine if I was being asked a pulmonary question versus a renal question, since both systems contribute to regulating blood pH. However, the questions on PreTest were strictly divided by topic, making it difficult to ask cross-referencing questions.

The text is good if you need to review your FOUNDATION of pathology, but there are other, more challenging Q banks out there for Path.

Good luck!

2.0 out of 5 stars good questions, bad explanations
Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2012
Verified Purchase
This book is all right, but nothing spectacular, and even can be frustrating to work with. The reason is that the answers are not well taylored to explain questions, they dont teach (they are often simply text), they are not to the point; all things we need to be efficient studying. The questions themselves I tink are ok for the most part.

2.0 out of 5 stars there must be better options!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 27, 2011

i bought this book for my pathology finals as I'd heard the Pre Test books were quite good. I didn't find it very useful at all really. The questions are much easier than you get in medicine exams, and after reading a couple of chapters (the haematology and cardiovascular ones) I found about 4 mistakes. It very much gives the impression that the 4 student reviewers must have only glanced over it, as there are several basic but fundamental mistakes...

So all in all, it's a nice idea and the book covers a lot of topics, but the questions are too easy, and there are mistakes so you have to be vigilant if using this book for revision
