Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - USMLE world, NBME, and Robbins question are better
As of this review, I'm almost done with the USMLE world qBank and have taken 3 NBME full length exams. The questions in this book are a bit spotty, some pretty unrealistic. If you buy it, the first thing you have to do it get the "errata" to update your book. The answer explanations aren't as informative as one might like. I agree with the other reviewer that the author rushed the publication of this book. I have to ask why there are so many errors and bizarre wording of questions if 30 medical ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD
This is a must have book. Worth $[...], for all the valuable information it gives you. This will help you a lot with your USMLE preparation, and believe me, when it comes to USMLE, everything that gives you an edge helps. Combine this with the NMS (NATIONAL MEDICAL SERIES) books and the USMLE TOTAL REVIEW software [...]and if you are on a megabudget, include the KAPLAN 3 DAY COURSE [...].
And stop quibbling about money, you wanna to be a doc, it is gonna cost you. So shut up and pay up ! :) ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good questions
In comparing these questions to USMLE world, they tend to be a little easier. Unfortunately, I cannot compare them to Kaplan online because I don't have any experience with it. However, the questions are similar in difficulty to the Kaplan Qbook. Some of the chapters are easier than others. As a whole, however, the questions are pretty good. They are representative of questions that you will see on USMLE step 1 and great explanations are at the end of each chapter. I was hoping to use this book ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Terrible editing, mistake ridden, and overly simple questions.
I started going through this book and just stopped. Relative to the other qbanks available its a waste. Many questions are either unrealistically simple or overly tricky due to poor wording/editing. Many explanations are inadequate and are merely statements of fact.

The book would be acceptable if it were not for the mistakes. In one chapter more than 10% of the questions had blatant mistakes or seriously misleading information. Combined with the poor wording on many questions, it makes ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book, great seller!
The seller shipped this item FAST and it is exactly as described...will definitely do business again.
