Lifestyle Medicine: Essential MCQs for Certification in Lifestyle Medicine

Brought to aid with the exam and it was helpful and clear.

Too many mistakes

This text was recommended for revision for a particular exam (an international certification exam).The subject of the text is understandably complex and the wording of the questions and the response options are critical.This is why I was disappointed to find several responses and explanations that did not even refer to the corresponding questions in the book, and examples of these questions are 61 to 63 in Chapter 5.There were also several repetitive questions and several whose wording lacked clarity or caused confusion. Some of the question responses had conflicting explanations when referring to the same topics.For a text that is meant to be used for exam revision, one would expect that the questions, responses and explanations are rigorously proofed. When clinical trial outcomes, diagnostic values and other critical medical information is involved, it is not reassuring.Overall, a well-meaning effort, but needs quite a bit of improvement to justify its price, especially in the current economic climate.I sincerely hope that, in the examination for which this text was intended as review material, the examining panel would pay closer attention to detail when setting the questions and assessing responses.

I initially thought this book was great but now I have gone further through it there are so many wrong answers in it! Not helpful when revising for an exam. I thought that it might have been the American/British difference at first, but actually they are just wrong answers.
