Butterworth Heinemann's Review Questions For The NBEO Examination: Part Two
Approximately 1,000 multiple-choice questions with explanatory answers prepare the reader to pass Part II of the national, state, or local boards, or obtain state licensure. Organized by topic, this resource follows the format and proportional question breakdown of the actual exam, helping the reader prepare effectively and efficiently for this challenging test. The companion CD-ROM provides further practice with 500 additional questions, answers, and rationales.Reviews:
Overall, I found this review guide very helpful in preparing for the NBEO. As the product description says, the book is divided into sections following the same format and weighting as the actual exam: There are many more ocular disease/trauma questions than public health questions, for example.With each answer, there is a rationale explaining why that choice is correct, or why the others are wrong... this is awesome!One of the things I noticed was that the questions, especially in the systemic section, focused a lot on the nitty-gritty details. This made it really challenging and at times, discouraging (which is why I gave 4 stars, not 5). However, after taking the test I felt (as did many of my classmates) that the questions on the actual exam tended to be slightly easier than the ones in the book, but that similar topics were covered. So -- even if you never actually sit down and do all the questions, this book will give you a good idea of what conditions/diseases, etc. to review.Good luck!
This book is so helpful for NBEO part 2! I studied this and it really helped me learn areas I was weak and strong in. The questions about ethics are especially helpful. I strongly recommend this to anyone studying for part 2 boards as an additional resource.
