Its 900 questions, detailed explanations, and illustrations are clinically oriented; they highlight important topics and concepts, and facilitate independent study and self-evaluation. This updated version is based on the second edition of the book. A powerful database engine presents selective or random testing and review modes; an automatic score calculator; and a user-friendly, browser-based interface that both minimizes unnecessary scrolling and provides effective feedback.

I really believe that the only way to improve this software is to make it more like the format of the current USMLE Step 2. They cover all the important topics and I would advise any medical student to use it in preparation for the USMLE Step 2. Why use a book to practice questions, when ... Read More
