This book is well laid out and well written. Like most MCQ type books, it is of a size that alows a trainee to carry it with them during a normal working day and easily make use of a spare half an hour. I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to trainees in preparation for the Primary examination. It will certainly go a long way in helping them with that necessary practice.
