    Best book by far is essential examination by ruthven.

    Tally and O'Connor is a favourite among examiners as well, particularly the "blue boxes" in each chapter (lists of clubbing causes, etc)

    Main thing is though is just to get a load of practice in on the wards and try to look like you've done each exam a million times before. They're looking for competence and confidence, not perfection.
