Laughing Your Way to Passing
the Pediatric Boards!”

“After trying and trying for the past 3 years to pass the boards, and never having used your book, I picked it up and read it from cover to cover and realized how I had not seen the salient features of what the boards was asking me. Your book more than anything helped me pass the boards. I just got my results back today (1/12/06). After horrible scores (I hang my head in shame) I scored in the 500 range (need 410 to pass). YOU ARE AWESOME, YOUR BOOK IS AWESOME AND RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” -SL

“I just wanted to thank you for your excellent review books. Of all the resources my wife and I read to pass the boards, your book was the most informative and was fun to read. Many of the high yield points you mentioned showed up on the exam. Thanks again!”

“After 3 failed attempts at the Peds Board, I used your books. I just received notification that I passed. Thank you.”

“Thank you!!! What else can I say. Your Pediatric Board Review book made all the difference. It is well organized, with short chapters trimmed of all fat!! But the most important element of this book is its test taking strategies. Every chapter reminds you how to focus on what is important!!”

“As a constant procrastinator I was determined to study for the Pediatric boards the right way. I bought your entire set of books in February right after I paid for my exam. I dillegently began studying in March and made a strict study schedule. I got through one topic (Respiratory). Then I had some medical complications of my pregnancy and decided to put studying off until the baby was born. She came the end of April with a terrible case of colic lasting through July. I started me new job in August and realized I was running out of time. I started studying. One month later my baby got ill and I was unable to devote any more time to studying. I had basically read through the entire main text and done one book of questions. I went to take the exam only because I had paid for it. And a miracle happened. I passed. All the topics were right from your book. I cannot thank you enough. Your book gave me the info I needed to pass and gave me countless hours back to be with my baby girl.”

“I’m proof that you CAN start studying Dr. Stu’s book this late in the game AND pass the boards!!! Just go over your weak areas (based on last years’ test results) and put Dr. Stu’s book to use…you’ll be surprised how easy you learn. Then, what I did was review all the subjects I hated, and finally the fun stuff. No matter how you choose to study it, (I received the book just 2 WEEKS before the test AND PASSED!!!!!!) It CAN be done…Good Luck.” -VDDL

“This book is exactly what I was looking for! I don’t need a study guide that gives all the details on every disease; I need key tips and high-yield items on syndromes and diseases and this book is perfect for that function.”  – BL

“Yes!! I finally passed!! I AM SOO HAPPY!! My associate who bought the book based on my recommendation also passed!! Our other partner who did not buy the book figuring it was ” just another book” came close to passing. She just ordered it and now knows that she will read it, enjoy it and will pass the next time.” – KG

“Your book helped me tremendously on the boards!” -JM

“Stu, I passed with flying colors. If I were to do anything different it would be to start earlier with your book and an Atlas. I can’t tell you how many questions on the test were dead ringers for your presentation of the material. More than once every test booklet, I remember thinking: “Thanks Stu for the alley oop slam dunk!” – MM

“Your book was fantastic!!! I was set to take the boards last October and had not heard of your book I felt I was too tired to look at any new material. I barely had the strength to do my final reviewing, much less crack another book, but Malcolm convinced me otherwise. I thought I was going to casually glance at some topics, but ended up reading it cover to cover. It was amazingly useful. In the opening chapters you covered just about every aspect of two intense days. The real meat and potatoes for me were the tips and memory aids. I can’t tell you enough how helpful it was for you to tell us to use our highlighters, make notes in the margins, don’t get bogged down or discouraged with long, long paragraph-type questions.” – JV

“Just want to congratulate Dr. Silverstein on an excellent review book. Just took the Boards last October and know I nailed several questions just for having read the book (three times). My only regret is that I didnÕt have it last year.” – E.B.

“Great book. This is the second copy I am ordering (for my wife.)” – U. B.

“Your book is fabulous.” – IM

“Your book helped me tremendously on the boards! I highly recommend it.” – JM

“Did really well on the dysmorphology/genetics, which I credit mostly to the book, since our training in that area was weak.” – EB

“I did the self assessment question book and it was very helpful- the graph you had with different growth rates for organ systems was very familiar” – DB

“I’ve tried several expensive review courses, and have FAILED to pass the boards despite their guarantees. Your book offer came to my door through the mail. The title was interesting enough that I HAD to take a look at it. It was much less expensive than the thousands of dollars (literally!) that I have already spent on courses AND administrative fees for taking the boards!! At the very least I would get a laugh from reading it. The book arrived about 10 days before the exam and after reading the first few pages, I realized, “Hey, this guy really has his finger on the pulse of the boards.”

“You are absolutely correct if you’ve taken the boards before and failed, then it is time to change your approach. I took it to heart and went on a mission to read as much as I could in the 9 days left. And I PASSED!!!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!?? Your methods ACTUALLY work. Where were you all these years??? I wonder what my score would’ve been if I had received the book earlier? You cannot imagine what a weight you have lifted from my shoulders. Your book saved my life. I’ll be more than willing to vouch for your book…its the leastI can do for what you have helped me accomplish. I could go on and on”- VL

“Thank you so much for your help and advice. I really enjoyed your book. I passed the Boards with room to spare!! I am so excited and can now focus on my true passion – Neonatology.” Thank you! – SL
