 Rating:  - Highly suggested for pediatric clerkshipThis book was not only excellent preparation for the shelf exam, I found its explanations useful for learning the main clinical points for various diseases. I used it in conjunction with Blueprints Pediatrics and read both cover-to-cover over the course of the clerkship. Rating:  - Worth itWhile there is no perfect way to study for the NBME at the end of your third year clerkships, there are ways that are more effective. I recommend reading this book in the days just before your peds test. I do not recommend relying on it alone to study, read it after doing a review book and a cases book. Rating: - Excellent prep for the NBME shelf! Get it!If there's only one book you can master in preparation for the pediatrics shelf exam, this is definitely the one.

I've gone through the Lorin book and found it to be too picky vs. the step 2 exam. If you want to go into peds, the Lorin book will help you later, but for shear step 2 prep, this is the book to get. Pertinent questions and nothing esoteric. Fast read. I think i bought if for about $20. Well worth it. Trust me. I scored > 2 sd above the mean. Don't waste your time with blue prints.
