This book has a fantastic layout, making it easy to understand,but also making it easy to find particular sections that you wantto focus on. It's concise and very formative,without any excessive jargon.

The style of the authors really does reflect the book content.The way this book has been written, really reflects and emphasisesthe fact that the authors really do know what they are talkingabout. The authors are aware that amongst their target audience,there are different types of learners, and so they have addressesthis by incorporating various methods of providing information,ranging from diagrams to tables to flow charts. I also think thatthe authors have really ensured that no reader of this book findsit too complicated; they really have explained this book well andsimplified any aspect which would be new to a college leaver

Amazingly comprehensive book, covering everything I would needto know to survive medical school. On reading this book, I wasdelighted to see the extent to which the authors have fully paidattention to covering all aspects of medical school, everythingfrom addressing what type of learner you are and your learningstyles, down to the exciting planning of electives.

This book is one which will put any student ahead of the game,not only in surviving medical school, but also kick starting youfoundation training too. By reading this book, and fully engagingwith the activities and questions, you ll really learn new thingsabout yourself and way to take advantage of the way you are and theway you learn.

I d recommend people to read this book early on in their medicalcareer, because if read later, you ll only kick yourself for thefact that you have missed out on being able to implement all thehints and tips earlier. I d even recommend
