    Average Rating: out of 5 stars

    Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - reasonable
    reached me on time though the book was a bit more used than I expected.


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yeah it helped
    Some cases were almost word for word during the test. I would recommend to all USMLE step 2 CS students.


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The only book a US student needs for this exam
    Of all the First Aid books I've used (Step 1, Step 2 CK, Wards), this is the only one that I'd use as stand-alone prep for the exam. I finally coughed up $45 for this book after trying unsuccessfully to figure out the basics of the exam from the info provided by USMLE (i.e. structure, timing, scoring, topics). It was completely worth it. Every case I had on the real exam was very, very familiar, after studying for only 3 days. Most important, I knew what I needed to do to earn points. Don't waste ...

    Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very helpful for CS
    This review book was very helpful in taking Step 2 CS. It contains more info than you need, but is organized in a manner where you can easily skip what you don't need. The "minicases" were tremendously helpful, if for no other reason than just brushing up on diagnoses I hadn't thought about in months... If you have time, you can look over the practice cases, but those are skippable if you're crunched for time. I started reviewing 1 week prior to the exam & I think I did just fine.


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - SUPER IMPORTANT ITEM
    THIS IS A BASIC FOR PASSING STEP 2 CS, FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WORK UP, THE MINICASES ARE VERY HELPFULL, BUY IT WITH CONFIDENCE, IT IS A GREAT BOOK
