How to Use This Book Effectively
The best approach is to use Katzung's Board Review alongside your primary pharmacology textbook (such as Katzung's Basic & Clinical Pharmacology or Lippincott's). Use the review book to consolidate and test your knowledge chapter by chapter. The Q&A sections are especially useful during the final 4–6 weeks before your board exam when rapid revision is critical.
