 Excellen resource to know how the actual exam will feel like and how to get ready psychologically for it. December 2, 2007
Must read book before going for the "Big Day". After having read the book, I felt mentally prepared for the exam. That went a long way for me in passing the boards. It really smashes the anxiety of the unknown. And that is 90% work done to pass the coveted part-II. Good luck to all fellow-shrinks who are preparing for the exam.
excellent resource June 13, 2007
Essential info for part II of ABPN. Especially latter chapters on formularion and presentation. Enjoy.

It offers some helpful hints and how to think about the test, but I think you can get that by watching mock orals on tape or doing mock orals. It's out of date as it doesn't cover the new format with the 3 written vignettes and 1 video vignette. If you go to the ABPN website they have examples of each, and it is worth looking at them to get a feel for what they ask. Just to update, you go into the room, read or watch the vignette, and then they grill you about what you've read or seen. Each one lasts 12 minutes. Anyway, back to the book...if you are studying with friends get one copy and pass it around, but it isn't a book you are going to go back and read over and over. You can do without it, but if you are anxious and want to read as much as you can, it may be worthwhile. The writing style is pleasant, easy to read, and it is good bedtime reading or use it to take a break from other study material.
Edited to say I passed! They sent out the results in less than a month. I'm so happy I never have to do this horrid test again.

Useful, but sets improbable interview standards. Talks about the need to cut time and then goes on and on speaking of minutia to included. Very much a boards approved booster book -- no sense of criticism or irony about the validity and use of the boards, or that it might be useful or the meaning of life for everyone.
I passed. January 20, 2006

I hate exams and hate studying for exams and do much less than I should to pass them. Luckily, I did pass my Boards on the first try and I think in large part it was due to having read this book cover to cover. It is an easy read and contains a lot of good tips. Good luck.
