 Rating:  - A Very good review book for step 2.I found this to be a very good review book. I used a lot of different books in studying for step 1 and step 2. This book reads quickly. It is well organized and presents information in a different format than in First Aid. If you really know your stuff, you could use this as a sole resource in studying for the test.

It provides a lot of information in a format that is very accessible, easy to read, and easy to remember. I highly recommend this book for people at all levels of their medical training. Rating: - The best boards book everThis is by far the most outstanding boards review book I have encountered. It breaks down the subject matter into digestible pieces that are easy to interconnect and remember. It is a great framework by which many of the details from clinical and preclinical years can be review. I used this book for all three steps and scored highly. I cannot recommend this book more stongly. Buy this book! The authors are obviously highly knowledgable in both the basic science and clinical aspects necessary to ... Read More
