Cracking the Boards, USMLE Step 2 is written by an expert and gives test takers what they need to ace the exam--more than 110 clinical vignettes that are just like the ones on the actual test. The Princeton Review will familiarize readers with the exam's content and give them The Princeton Review's proven techniques for earning a higher score. This books includes all the material one needs to know: family medicine, internal medicine, OB/GYN, pediatrics, psychiatry and surgery Average Rating:
 Rating: - High yield questionsThis book is divided into 2 main parts, the first includes cases which are good but their explanations contain many information that are beyond the scope of the exam or are not high yield. The second part is great for the quality of questions it contains, I think these 400 questions cover the main ideas of the exam with a format that looks nearly like that of the USMLE step 2 exam, I reccomend this book for its great questions.

I didn't have a lot of time to study and this book was a good way to review material across all specialties in a short period of time. Rating: - Clinical cases are the way to reviewI disagree with the Dr. from Bahrain. I am a US medical student and found this book very helpful. The cases that were covered all appeared in one form or another on the USMLE Step 2. Is it an all encompassing review of medical school? NO. But it is a thorough review of high-yield cases that are likely to show up on the exam. I recommend it to anyone who has a limited amount of time to study and wants to review some high-yield topics. I scored very high on both Step 1 and Step 2 and am applying ...
