pretest surgery

content was amazing- much more than what is tested on the actual shelf, but if you know pretest, you'll do very well on the shelf. this book actually had more underlining in it than i expected, but none of the answers were marked so that was good. better than case files for the NBME shelf

Look for new interactive palm version

Pretest now has standalone programs of the books (not the cumbersome pdf files). It is interactive in that it lets you choose your answer and gives you immediate feedback with right and wrong choices (no need flipping through pages), allows you to review missed answers, randomize questions and answer choices. Basically, it's a lot like qbank for third year. I used the palm version for surgery and loved it because I always had my palm with me and could do questions while I was waiting for an attending to finally scrub into a case. You'd be surprised at how small little bits of time add up! I finished pretest while only doing questions at the hospital in less than two weeks.
