I've been really busy with school recently and haven't had the time to write anything for a while, so I thought I would post a quick book review to keep you all updated.
I was in my school library the other day looking for a Biology textbook when I stumbled across the "Succeeding in your Medical School Interview" guide by Tony Edgar and Matt Green. After hearing about some pretty horrific interview experiences, I decided it would be a good idea to read it. The book is published by BPP Learning media in association with BPP school of health, and the format contrasts most of the other books I've read. Each chapter is separated under subheadings with bullet points and a quick summary section at the end of each chapter, making it an incredibly easy read. It takes you through the interview process, explaining what medical schools are looking for and has 9 guided practice questions with ideas on how to structure your answers and show your interest in medicine.
I've seen advertisements from companies which offer training days for interviews, with some of them costing over £300! However, personally I don't think they're worth the money when there are so many books such as this guide offering exactly the same information, but at a fraction of the price.
The book is part of a series under the School of Health, I plan on reading some of the other books over the next couple of months, and would definitely recommend it to anyone hoping to study medicine in the future!
