The PreTest Basic Science Series prepares medical students and international medical graduates for USMLE Step 1 and shelf exams at the end of their coursework . Useful as reviews for coursework in the first and second year of medical school, each PreTest book contains 500 questions with complete but concise answers referenced to leading textbooks and journal articles. Discussions review correct and incorrect answer options to reinforce learning. Each book begins with a High-Yield section to recall the most important information while reviewing the subject.
The new edition of Physiology: PreTest simulates the USMLE Step 1 test-taking experience by including 100% v style questions and clinical images. A required course at medical schools, it is a core subject area that students need to fully understand. PreTest assesses students' medical knowledge of core basic science topics within a clinical context through multiple-choice clinical- vignette questions. This is especially helpful now that core basic sciences are taught in an integrated curriculum.
To ensure that questions are representative of the style and level of difficulty of the exams, each PreTest book is reviewed by students who either recently passed their shelf/course exam and/or Step 1.
