As of October 1979, all 22 member boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties committed themselves to the principle of periodic recertification of their members. Despite the Board’s recognition that the cognitive skills measured in the objective examination do not assure clinical competence, recertification efforts—insofar as they involve examinations—are based on the assumption that knowledge of current information on which good clinical decisions should be made is worth cultivating; that, while such information does not guarantee com- petent practice, lack of it probably impedes competent practice; that this knowledge, unlike technical skills, is reasonably easy to assess; and that it can be acquired by well-motivated physicians. These assumptions all seem reasonable. The questions presented in this book deal with issues of relative importance to medical students; other problem-oriented materials are becoming available that are aimed at more sophisticated audiences— groups that, within a very few years, will include the present generation of students. Regular review of such material is a habit worth developing. We hope that this edition of Obstetrics and Gynecology: PreTest® Self-Assessment and Review will justify your efforts in working through the problems by providing guidance for further study and by helping you to develop endur- ing learning habits.

The 500 questions provided have been designed to parallel the format of the questions con- tained in Step 2 of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE). Each question in the book is accompanied by an answer, a paragraph explanation, and a specific page reference to a current textbook. A bibliog- raphy that lists all the sources used in the book follows the last chapter. Perhaps the most effective way to use this book is to allow yourself one minute to answer each question in a given chapter; as you proceed, indi- cate your answer beside each question. By following this suggestion, you will be approximating the time limits imposed by licensing examinations. When you practice your examination-taking skills with this PreTest®, one way to maximize your score is to go through, answer all the questions you find easy, and skip over the more difficult ones initially. We do recom- mend, however, that once you come back to the more difficult questions, you spend as much time as you need.
