I ordered 3 books to study for Part I of the ABPN: 1) this First Aid book, 2) Kaufman's Clinical Neuro for Psychiatrists, and 3) the Spiegel and Kenny Psychiatry Test Prep book. I also did old PRITE exams. I passed the exam on first attempt and couldn't have done it without Kaufman or Spiegel/Kenny, but I did not think this First Aid volume helped me prepare well. Truthfully, in the end, I feel my time would have been better spent reviewing/looking up answers to old PRITE questions. I must stress that having used the First Aid Series for my USMLE Steps 1-3, I was always a fan of the series and was expecting much more from this book as a result. But I found it did not deliver on a number of levels. It skips over basic yet important facts in certain sections (e.g., doesn't even mention in the Rett syndrome section what gene is implicated, or that it predominantly affects females, etc.--it is missing some simple details you will need to pass the exam). Then on the flip side, it goes into excessive, minute detail in the Neuroanatomy section (to the point where I couldn't use it any more as a study guide because it was too detailed and overwhelming), which is not an enormous focus on the boards. It almost seemed as if the writers hadn't taken the actual ABPN Part I board exam. I actually ended up spending more time than I would have liked (more time than anyone has while prepping for boards) trying to figure out the missing information in First Aid or clarifying with supplemental info (by searching other texts), that I ultimately wished I hadn't even purchased this book as it was not money well spent. The text was disappointing for a First Aid book, and it is obvious that significant effort went into creating this book, but it just seemed as if the authors/publishers either erred by trying to be too broad and thus missing essential facts, or by being too focused and going overboard. In the end, it simply was not a high yield text for me.
