Wow, this is the only MRCP text I've read which addresses the new station 5 properly.....which is a big thumbs up as its worth about 1/3 total marks (and the bit my friends seem to fail)!! Also provides lots of common sense non patronising advice re how to approach each station, including an explanation of the mark schemes.
The medicine is pitched at the right level.....a good balance between being easy to read and providing sufficient detail to be of value beyond just passing the exam.
The sample "examiners questions" are followed by statements which directly answer the questions....sounds obvious, but not true of all the PACES books on the market!
History stations also well covered.....ethics section starts with a summary of all the key concepts, followed by lots of case examples.
Like the other reviewer I was also skeptical....esp as I'd already borrowed a lot of the other PACES books from friends for free.....but def worth the money! Compliments CASES FOR PACES and easier to read than HALL. Its also the text I want to keep hold of for future reference after exam is over.
