The multiple-choice
question above strikes fear into the heart of every medical student. They must
all pass USMLE “board” and NBME “shelf” exams. As a clinical professor who
teaches medical students and residents, author Mary K. Miller has seen some of
her best and brightest students stumble when taking multiple-choice tests. To
help them, she has developed the Aim Your BrainÔ Study System. Her techniques include:
• Laying the foundation for how to study for USMLE Step 1;
• Using the Aim Your Brain Study System to overcome the “I hate multiple-choice exams” mindset;
• Helping students overcome
test anxiety and other difficult issues.
