Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Step1 PrepReally good practice case that are high yield. It's a good review for me, everything I need to know is in the book. Great for review, but not to be used alone as the only study source. Is a good supplement. Rating:  - Too many mistakesThis book has the potential to be good, but there are just too many errors. The format is nice, with a short USMLE-type case presentation and then questions about the case with explanations. The problem is that every section has multiple errors, some of which are errors in important concepts. My advice is to stay away from this book unless you have a good handle on the material and can catch all of the mistakes. Rating: - great tool for your step 1 reviewthis is a nice tool to supplement first aid in your step 1 prep. read the case and cover up the answers as you go through each question it asks. great way to expand your thought process when it comes to vignettes, if that makes sense Rating: - good for step 1 prepcases are good, presentation of Q and A is also good..all in all, i like this book for my step 1 prep. Rating: - Too many mistakes, subpar to UCVI bought this book after I read all 8 UCV (Undeground Clinical Vignettes) from the same authors. I was able to compare them. Obviously it has fewer cases, most of them are identical. FA team rushed this book in production and as a result there are lots of mistakes and really inconvinient layout. My only recommendation is to buy a cheaper previous edition of UCV books (ISBN 0632045590).
