Review of the previous edition: "This book is amazing and I don't think I would have passed my exams without it" --Cath Roels, Medical Student "The chapters are clearly written, in simple language that should appeal to students and reflect the fact that the authors themselves have recently been OSCE candidates. They are all part of what I believe is a genuine re-invigoration of the art of teaching amongst junior medical staff" --Simon Maxwell, Professor of Student Learning, University of Edinburgh "As suggested by its name, The Unofficial Guide to Passing OSCEs is a well presented learning and revision guide for medical students. Well over 70 people have been involved in the creation of this informative guide which is now in its Third Edition. It is essentially a concise collection of informative guides covering core and popular OSCE stations. The guide s method of creation allows it to be used in multiple ways by readers there is wealth of knowledge covering each OSCE station. The important and basic features of each skill are clearly highlighted via concise lists, tables and much more. The book quite rightly contains all the essentials that you would typically expect of a book in this format including but not limited to illustrations, photographs, radiology images and graphs." --International Journal Of Clinical Skills
