Editorial Review: Product Description: An awaited component to NMS review books, NMS Review for the USMLE Step 3 keeps the gold standard. The question-and-answer format correlates with the revised USMLE format. There are 600 multiple-choice items contained in four separate 150-question examinations, designed to cover important clinical encounter frames and physician tasks, and to consider each clinical setting found on the actual USMLE Step 3 exam: office-based, hospital-based, emergency department-based and satellite clinic-based. Answers are followed by detailed discussions. This thorough review and preparation book also features clinical encounter levels from USMLE Step 3, namely, the initial visit setting, continued care and emergency care. Average Rating:
 Rating: - A steal at less than $40: this book has a cost/benefit ratio that's impossible to beatRegardless of what one prefers to believe, physicians tend to be, on average, of only slightly higher intelligence than the standard person. As such, most of their learning is obtained via the same methods as the general population: repetition and forced, timely recall. I invoke this bit of information in order to provide an appropriate frame for the flavor of my review. "Review for Usmle Step 3" is essentially a question bank--and it is a colossal one at that, with 750 questions ... Read More Rating:  - Why bother?Just do qbank or qbook. Don't buy, don't borrow, don't waste your time. Rating:  - okay study bookThis question book is an okay review of subjects if you perfer a Q/A format way of learning. However, the question format and style of questions are not similar to the USMLE Step 3. There are few Negative questions (eg. all of the following except) in the USMLE Step 3 and at the most, there are 3 questions following a passage (In NMS, there can be up to 6-7 questions following a passage). I found the NMS review to be too detailed (like questions we see in Step 1 and 2- eg) indirect inguinal hernias ... Read More Rating:  - Great review book....I'll admit, I made a mistake. I decided to hold off taking Step 3 until two months before my pediatric residency was finished. Back then, it wasn't required to maintain your residency in this state. So you can imagine, after nearly 3 years of pediatric medicine, how far removed I was from a lot of adult medical issues. I used two books, this one and "Crush step 3." Both were definitely helpful, but I felt this one by far helped me the most. Sure the question formats are not exactly like the real ... Read More Rating: - if you were to use just one question book....Hopefully you have more time than that. I took my step 3 in 2005, used both NMS and Qbook for questions and review, given this edition of NMS was published in 2002 and Qbook 2004, and I was paranoid. But if I only had time for one question book, I'd prefer NMS, as Qbook tends to go into too much detail that I probably would not need to pass my exam, and NMS really did a very good job in the explanations. Do you need Qbank? I didn't get it because, 1. it is very expensive; 2. it lacks the ... Read More
