Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Right on!!!
I first want to say that in my study process, I must have read all of kaplan books, goljan, and some BRS books. I spent so much time doing this but my scores were not improving much. You learn something really well, then 1 month later its lost in translation. I was getting very frustrated. At that point I decided to put all my faith into this book as well as U world.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Love the book but I don't like the Kindle Version

Otherwise, the book is awesome!

They just try to make it a little better each time, but the basic information is still there and it will be worth it to have read through the major chapters already when you get closer to boards. It also has useful tips that will help you ... Read More
