, PREFACE
The first edition of The Urology Bank of 1111 MCQs is the first ebook of the prime author. He is
fellow of the royal college of surgeons in Ireland, Saudi board of Urology, Radboud University in th
Netherlands, and a clinical research associate from McMaster University, Canada. The book
hand is the outcome of the international blend. The prime author is the editor-in- chief of th
international journal of clinical updates.
The Urology Bank of 1111 MCQs has been built up to be one of the richest banks in differen
specialties of Urology that provides the you-must-know information in the form of multiple- choic
questions. In addition, the book aims at constructing a common platform of Urology science whic
staff, fellows, board residents, and interns could refer to on daily communication. It is a sel
assessment tool that is easy to browse in the clinic, on rounds, and at the bedside. The bank derive
its wealth from major Urology references and from the European Association of Urology (EAU
guidelines. It is made in an attractive look and a familiar language with broad margins at either sid
of the questions for writing down notes.
We aim at testing knowledge acquisition and application, albeit data analysis is tested in fewe
instances. The questions are presented in Calibri (body) theme font to provide the best readabilit
The questions` stems are short, bold, and typed in size 14 font. Each question has four options.
is hard for a test taker who doesn’t know the answer to guesstimate. We have used plausib
distractors and avoided double negatives. Furthermore, we have used the finished and unfinishe
statement styles and avoided complex structures of questions. We have implemented the (ho
common is …) and (what is the likelihood that …) styles of questions as we believe that the reader
intuition and clinical sense last longer, in mind, than figures do.
I would like to acknowledge the contributors who shared their efforts, time, and knowledge to produc
this book. I would also like to express my gratitude to my co-workers who provided me the logist
support to present this book in its best shape.
