I was wondering which board review book people recommend. KMK, SCCO, Berkeley?

I used the berkeley and found it to be sufficient.

Any advice from graduates/students? How many hours in preparation?

Thanks!

The KMK guide is very good for Boards review. The edition I got had some updates post publishing so I had to write in some corrections, but I also found a few more more corrections that needed to be made. There were some things that didn't seem quite right and I ended up comfirming thorugh other references like Adler's Physiology of the Eye and Clinical Anatomy of the Visual System by Remington to make sure the book was correct, and I would recommend doing the same as then you know that you know it. As far as prep, I remember devoting 2-3 hours a day on studying for a good ten weeks to prepare for the exam. Pretty sure you can get away with less. Start/join a group of classmates to summarize relevant texts (Remington, Visual Perception, etc) chapter by chapter. Also suggest making yourself a study schedule from the topics on the NBEO list and hitting the topics with the most questions first before hitting the smaller sections. Hope this helps. It is just a hoop to jump through. If you prepare, you will pass.

thank you!

Is there a way for us to purchase the KMK review book? Our school does not offer their courses.

I remember having to purchase it from the company website, which apparently now is www.kmkedu.com. Also look into purchasing it from a 3rd or 4th year, as I was happy to do that after I knew I passed.

Regarding my previous post, I was unaware that KMK was offering classes at each school. I only had the option to purchase the book from them back when I took Part I. I don't know if they will only sell the review book, but I would ask them about it if they do not offer the class at your school.
