5.0 out of 5 stars Very good for extra points on shelf.
Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2017
Verified Purchase
If you're trying to gain that extra 10 points on your shelf for peds, this is the book. I like this b/c compared to case files that gets rambly and takes forever to read, Pre test is bullet points and quick questions and explanations are 1 sentence and very high yield. I did well on this shelf and it was my first rotation b/c using this 1 week before the exam after going through the rotation and having been exposed to everything, this book is great for solidifying that knowledge. Highly recommend this for anyone wanting to get that extra few points on this shelf.

However, if you're not interested in peds and don't have a stronger basic background- this may be overwhleming with small random facts to you. Only use this towards the end of your shelf studying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good review book, but lacking in some areas
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2009
Verified Purchase
I've been using the Pre-Test series for all the rotations I have done so far (surgery and neurology), and like the other books in the series, PreTest for Pediatrics provides a good overview of which topics to know about for the shelf exam. I also personally like using the question-answer format for reviewing material because the information sticks better than from just reading a paragraph in Blueprints or First Aid. However, I've noticed that some of the answer sections at the back are lacking in a discussion of why a certain answer is better than the other, and I had to look up the information elsewhere. Also, the question format is not as similar to the USMLE questions as I'd like (they use many more buzz words in PreTest, and the question stems are not as long as the ones on shelf exams). They also have a few questions on very low-yield material.

In summary, this book is very useful when used in conjunction with a more in-depth, text-book type book and is nice to carry around with you on wards to study when you have a short period of free time, but not great if you are trying to thoroughly learn the material.

I got the highest score in my class on the pediatrics shelf exam by simply going through online med ed, pretest, and BRS. This book played a crucial role and multiple questions I encountered on here showed up on the exam almost exactly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good review question book for peds
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2012
Verified Purchase
I used this during my peds rotation and found it helpful when used for the purpose intended for. I do not recommend as a primary resource for a peds rotation or as a review book. As a question book, it did a very good job with explanations and pointing out high yield topics and differences between similar appearing diseases. Would definitely rate as superior to the questions on USMLEworld Q banks as far as being similar in content and style to the NBME.

4.0 out of 5 stars very nice, many questions covering many topics
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2013
Verified Purchase
worked great for me. the explanations for the questions were, i felt adequate; and if not they're always sourced so you can look things up yourself if you wanna learn more. i think what i liked the most was that this book doesn't exhaust any particular topic, so much as try to touch all the bases--so it's good to "test the waters" and see if you need to brush up on any specific field. for example, in the endo section there are only a few questions on PTH, vit D, alk phos and the like, but by going thru them you'll know if you get the general idea or need to do some more studying. in all a good companion to an intermediate level textbook that will fill in the spaces not covered by the questions in this text

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2014

Really useful, comprehensive study aid for peds shelf exam. Could be used as stand-alone study aid but I usually use at least 2 resources when studying for exams (for peds, Uworld, pretest and shelf life, in any combination, will help get the job done).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for info stuffing
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2011
Verified Purchase
Not NBME style q's, but this book series tests clinical facts, & you need a lot of info in your head to be able to critically think the NBME shelf style multi-step q's. This is good for that. I recommend all Pre-test books for info stuffing throughout the clerkship. Use USMLE world to get a good sense for the multi-step variety, & will give you a sense for how to cut through the BS & find out out of all the verbosity of the NBME q's, what is it actually asking you about.
