基本説明
A CD-ROM containing over 500 clinically oriented multiple-choice questions.
Full Description
This text offers a comprehensive yet concise review of neuroscience while discussing all of the relevant clinical information. The review chapters in the first section of the text are in a user-friendly outline format with high-yield information located in margin notes and clinical topics discussed within the outline and in clinical boxes. The second section of the book contains two 50-questions exams in USMLE format. A CD-ROM that accompanies the book contains a full-color art program, 500 board-style questions and answers with rationales for correct answers as well as all incorrect choices, and a quizzing function that gives scores at the end of the exams.Information presented in an easy-to-read outline format. Two 50-item Board-style question sets with answers and complete discussions for all correct and incorrect answers. "High yield" margin notes identifying need-to-know material. Another 250 USMLE-style questions for each title are available at www.studentconsult.com - mirroring the look and feel of the actual exam, and providing detailed feedback on which areas you may need to study more. A "test mode" featuring a 60-minute timed test of 50 questions which can be customized by system or random selection. A "tutorial mode" allowing the reader to customize content review by science, system, or random selection.
