Download the PDF to view the article, as well as its associated figures and tables. Abstract More students, residents, and ECFMG candidates will buy this little book than professors. This is because there are vastly more of the former than the latter.

Doubtless the student will perform better in such examinations if he has read the sections devoted to the types of questions and their answers (14 pages; 8 more for ECFMG candidates). He will doubtless gain some confidence in having taken the sample examination included (35 pages). But for the professor, more than two-thirds of the book is pertinent material. Largely reflecting the extensive experience of the National Board of Medical Examiners, here are countless tips for improving the validity of student assessment.
