Perfect for Neuro Teachers:
The good thing about this book is that it helps u prepare a class in no time. I recommend the part of cranial nerves to the students since its easier to study than most books.
Just OK:
BRS is usually the go-to review book among those in my class, so I naturally purchased this book to prep for the neuro NBME. When I received it, I was surprised that it was heavier than other BRS books I had. It does hit the high points, but it kind of drones with A LOT of details that could have been left out of the final book. It does do its job but could definitely be shorter.
Many mistakes:
I only had time to use this review book the weekend before the board, so I did all of the questions and then read what I needed to brush up on. There were a LOT of miskeyed answers, and then some answers were just flat out wrong. Not a bad book, prepared me fairly well, but the process was frustrating because of all the mistakes.
Neuro that makes sense:
Excellent review as well as primary learning text. Very detailed but better than reading some textbook. Requires time though. I also have the high yield by Dr. Fix but I like this book more.
