Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent overall guide to becoming a doctor. It starts off by guiding you through the process of getting an interview with advice on what shadowing experience etc you need, how to fill in your UCAS form (including the personal statement) and which subjects to study at GCSE and A-level. It goes on to guide you through how to succeed at interview, with advice as to how best to tackle questions like "Why do you want to become a doctor?", "What makes a good doctor?" and many other common questions. There is also a chapter on how to tackle your A-levels to ensure you get the right grades and advice on what to do if you receive an offer but fail to meet the required grades or fail to get an offer but do better in your exams than expected. The book even has some advice for non-stadard applications such as mature, overseas and applicants with no science subjects.
All of this is very well covered. However, the most useful section by far is the current affairs chapter that discusses the issues of the NHS, SARs, BSE, the implications of genetic engineering, third world health, MMR and HIV/AIDS. The appendix contains a table of medical school admission policies and stats including mock interview questions.
Overall, this book is excellent. I would advise anyone applying or thinking of applying to study Medicine to buy this book. In my experience, the succeding at interview and current affairs sections cover many of the question that you are likely to encounter at interview.

This is a good guide which I used in my application. However, to stay abreast with the recent changes in medical education (with regard to MMC in particular), its worth looking for a more recently published book also; the RSM press book "A career in medicine - do you have what it takes?" has a new edition coming out in January, and appears to have a website as well for updates http://www.acareerinmedicine.net
