The second edition of Acing the GI Board Exam by Dr Brennan Spiegel is an enriched version of the already solid first version. Having taken the GI boards examination twice (last in 2013), I appreciate the approach taken by Spiegel to board examination. The book is focused on learning what we do not know, keeping the eye on what is important and doing it in a fresh, compact, dynamic, point-of-fact style. The book is divided in 5 chapters that each provides a framework to prepare for the GI board examination, bestows knowledge and assess it, and finishes with a well-organized subject index and additional references.
