So useful! Couldn't get through med school without it!
‘I bought both books on another website, but I HAD to review them to let people know just how useful these books are. I borrowed the original print from a friend during previous exams and they are so well laid out, providing excellent summaries on such a range of subjects. When I saw there was a re print I knew I had to get them. If you thought the originals were good, wait until you see these!!!!
I will be using them throughout my revision for finals. They are so easy to use, understand and revise from. Becky really knows how to get you the key information, add in snippets of information and leave you feeling more confident. Regardless of what you study, these books would be useful to you!
