This was my main test prep tool for the internal med NBME (in conjunction with reading from the accompanying MKSAP text book and Cecil's) . I mainly used the CD-ROM version of this book - once it's installed, you don't need the disk to use it. The questions are the same as those found in the book. I liked the option of doing questions in a random order, as it is more similar to exam conditions. The program keeps track of which questions you have answered and your results, so you can quickly see areas where you need to spend more time. Each question is followed by an explanation of not just why the right answer is right, but also why the wrong options are wrong, something I find is often missing from other review books. The level of information was also nicely matched to what I saw on the exam.

This is the end of the line for the Internal Medicine review for the shelf exam after this rotation. You'll have plenty of questions about cardiac arrhythmias, electrolyte disturbances, GI complaints, and last but not least, impacted bowels and diabetic issues. A must read!
