Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Study Aid for Step 2.Still great material for Step 2. Make sure you go thru all explanations. Explanations are also good as a study text since they are written by Dr. Goljan and all those other guys teaching for Kaplan. Rating:  - A descent supplementThis book was a helpful source of questions. The question structure in this book was actually more similar to what I found on the USMLE than the Kaplan Q bank. The difficulty level of the questions was below expectations. This book strongly stresses epidemiology and very little on actual knowledge base. The explanations were inadequate especially regarding why certain answers were wrong. I did the entire Q bank and found that to be much more helpful. Rating: - It's alright....It's not bad, it's basically just a USMLE style test broken into 50 question blocks much like the real thing... only on paper as opposed to computer.... The questions are very similar to the real thing, but tend to be shorter than the actual test. The overall difficulty of the questions is comparable. I prefer the questions on computer just because it's more of a simulation of the actual test. Rating: - Not very up to dateThis has many review questions for step 2 but there are many that are not representative of the type of questions on the actual exam. Some questions are way too specific and not clinically based. If one is looking for a book with a lot of practice questions it does have that to offer but many of them are not helpful in preparation for the exam. Rating: - Highly recommendedI used this book in the last two weeks before the exam...the questions were pretty difficult, maybe a little more picky than the real exam. But the topics tested were high-yield - a lot of the topics came up in the actual exam. This is a good book to fill in any gaps in your knowledge before the exam. Together with this book, the "Pretest Clinical vignettes" and the Kaplan Q-book, I did enough questions to get me a 97 on the exam.
