Description
Success in medical examinations is not just a matter of knowing the answers; knowing how to answer is just as important. Wise candidates will take care to practice examination technique and be aware of all the problems and pitfalls which may prevent them from achieving their deserved success. This book will help.
Written by one of medicine's most respected teachers, it proved itself throughout the long lifetime of the first edition as an indispensable guide for both the confident and the anxious examinee. Among the topics covered are the examiners themselves and candidates' relations with them, essay questions, multiple choice questions and oral examinations. The short and long cases, which figure so prominently in many postgraduate medical examinations, are given particular attention. Mastery of the technique of presenting cases such as these will stand the student in good stead during subsequent clinical practice.
Although written principally for British students, Doctor Pappworth's sensible advice will benefit all those faced with the daunting prospect of passing medical examinations.
