The style of the book is didactic, with questions and short answers. The short answers are designed to be repetitive so as to enhance memory. The answer includes a model opening statement, followed usually by a classification system to aid organization of facts and then by the bulk of the answer in concise notes. Exam Tips are inserted to provide insight into how to answer different types of questions and, when appropriate, a Clinical Approach section is also included. Scattered within the text are hundreds of mnemonics to help the candidate in the final stages of preparation for the exams.
