 Rating:  - Questions prepare you for Step 3I bought both NMS and QBook and ended up using QBook as my main study source, together with Crush. This turned out to be a smart move because it most closely approximated the questions in the Step 3. I thought NMS would be an even better study source, but found the questions either too obscure or not challenging enough.

As in 2005, I will still prefer NMS over Qbook if I can only pick one. But I will go with both if I have the time. I'll think twice though if NMS does not come up with any new edition in 2006 or later. Now, I have always been curious if Qbook consists of the majority of questions ... Read More
