Reviews:

5 Stars: Very Good Book for Part 2 MRCPsych MCQ revision 
Although I managed to get a copy of this only two days before my Part 2 MRCPsych examination, this is an excellent book for EMI revision as it covers the whole range of topics. It is an essential book for every person who is sitting in Part 2 MRCPsych Examination. NO DOUBT IT IS A MUST BUY.
Amazon customer review, Oct 04

Given that EMIQs are a relatively novel part of the [MRCPsych] examination there is little as yet in the form of books to help the candidate prepare for them. This book is one of the first to meet this need ... this book will, I have no doubt, be on every prospective candidate's book list. It will also be useful for anyone involved as a tutor, or local course organiser.

5 Stars: Worth it!
Excellent little book that covers a great deal of material that could otherwise be easily missed.
