It has qyesn and answers, although the questions are not board pattern fully, they are easy understand and easy read types.

Instead of reading the whole book of synopsis of psychiatry by Kaplan&Sadock, I read this one and did all the questions and studied all answers. I got very high scores in PRITE every year and pass written board with scores over 90%. The questions are more difficult than PRITE and written board.
Highly recommended.

NOT Recommended for MOC exam by D. Steenblock (Marshalltown, Iowa)

The ABPN Maintenance of Certification (MOC) exam covered adult clinical psychiatry. There was very little child psychiatry on the exam but a substantial proportion of this book is devoted to child psych. Also the exam covered virtually nothing on theoretical concepts (development, etc.) and had very little relating to the basic skills that are covered in first few chapters of this book. I read this book end-to-end and it was not the best use of my time. If you are preparing for MOC, would suggest focusing on DSM criteria, meds, substance abuse, legal issues, defense mechanisms, reproductive issues, HIV, delirium, and associated medical conditions. If you are practicing adult psychiatry full time and are up to date, you won't need to do too much preparation for this exam. The other problem with this book is it has SEVERAL mistakes and contradictions. Someone needs to go back over this carefully and correct them. It might be OK for the initial certification exam (except has very little neurology), but it is a waste of time for the MOC.
