Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Genetics (Board Review)

USMLE step1を受験しようと思い購入しました。USMLEで最も優先すべきはBiochemistryとのことです。 10の章があり、それぞれに教科書的なまとめと章末問題がついています(最後に全範囲の問題もあります)。解説が非常に丁寧で英語も分かりやすいです。 章末問題は大体 確認問題2割、USMLEを意識した問題が8割です。このシリーズはもう一つ持っていますが、やはりよくできています。

This is a very nice book of biochemistry, it’s a review book but you can also use it as textbook, because it is so clear and fluid and also quite large. Covers all topic for NEET to step 1. Where the book falls behind is it’s limited number of MCQs.

Great study resource: 9/10 While a select few examples could be updated or edited to be easier to understand this book was a great resource as I prepared for the NBME subject exam on Biochem and Genetics. Great questions at the end as well as a practice test that is somewhat representative of what I saw on the real exam. Overall I thought that the end of chapter questions were more similar in caliber to the real test than the practice test, but that is just my opinion on the matter. What I really liked about this book was the great color pictures it has and level of detail that it goes into. As far as topics go, it covered all that I needed to know to do well on the subject exam.

A very good book and a quick review before your final exam- can easily be completed in under a week with around 200 pages of actual information (excluding questions)

If you want a more thorough yet concise enough review book for medical Biochemistry, go for LIR. If you want one with broad coverage of molecular biology and genetics and does not want to purchase a textbook for the topic, go for BRS Review. This book is more on genetics and molecular biology. I like the point-form arrangement of the book which makes reading easier. Moreover, there are abundant multiple choice exercises behind each chapter with answers, facilitating students' learning of the subject. This book is not very thick, but I'm sure it'll be quite useful.

The content of the Book is good. But i have got a black&white version. It would be more interresting to study the book if it were colouring version.
