Biochemistry and Genetics: Pretest Self-Assessment and Review

This book is extremely useful in preparing for the medical genetics, genetic counseling, cytogenetics/molecular board exams. However, be aware that some o fthe inheritance mechanisms/risk calculations are incorrect since they require Bayes which is not covered in the book. Overall, the other sections do provide good review questions.

I used this book while studying for the GRE in Biochemistry. The questions are detailed and hard. If you are a wimp who slept in class - this book will kick you. You will feel really low... For preparing for the GRE or the USMLE with their new explanded biochemistry format which is getting heavier into genetics and biochemistry this book will be the new Q-bank you will have to have. My only issue is I was use to using Lange, Appleton & Lange, and Kaplan q-bank books where you get 50 questions set of questions most of the time. This book has a bit different format by subject. So a 50 question timed set may force you to jump around. I am still working the book for the USMLE.
