MAXIMUM RETENTION -- MINIMAL TIME
"I liked the format a lot ... the setup makes it wonderful for either an intensestudy session or a more relaxed review in front of the TV. It integratedmaterial across different organ systems quite well ... and the material coveredwas really stuff that I needed to know."
--Eric Chanowski, Medical Student, University of Michigan

"I enjoy the format of the series ... I think the questions and answers are anexcellent way to recall and retain information."
--Benjamin Han, Medical Student, SUNY Upstate Medical University

Déjà Review: Neuroscience boils down your coursework to just the critical concepts you needto know for exam success. This unbeatable guide features a quick-read, two-column"flashcard" Q&A format -- specifically designed to help you remember a large amount ofpertinent information in the least amount of time. The format allows you to zero-in ononly the correct answers to promote memory retention and get the most out of yourstudy time. Great for last minute review of high-yield facts, Déjà Review providesa straightforward way for you to assess your strengths and weaknessesso you can excel on your course exams and the USMLE Step 1.

Active recall questions allow you to understand, not just memorize, the content Clinical vignettes at the end of chapters prepare you for board-style questions Portable size for study on the go - fits in your white coat pocket Bookmark included to guide you through easy-to-use flashcard presentation
