Concise bullet point review of everything you need for Physics boards:
Huda does a very good job. A lot of questions came from the material from the book. The questions themselves I found less useful. But be careful, this is not a substitute to lectures/recalls/etc. Just an extremely handy addition. Honestly, next to lectures and recalls, this was THE ONLY physics text I used... and I passed by a healthy margin.
Good review, too many errors for 2nd edition:
This is the second edition of this review text, yet there are numerous errors in the text and practice exams. As long as you know what is going on you can catch them all. Overall, useful in pointing out the trivia needed for ABR.
Great Review Book for Radiological Physics:
If you are a medical physicist or equivalent studying for Part I of the ABR exam or equivalent, this is a must have book. The Q&A are relevant and explained well. Overall great value for the money.
Superb and essential for physics boards:
Using Huda as my primary source along with multiple years of Raphex questions and a single set of San Antonio review questions, I was able to do very well on the physics boards.
I would strongly recommend purchasing this book as all the material it contains is HIGH yield on the physics boards. Well-organized, concise, and easy to read.
