The question-and-answer Recall format helps students memorize the facts that are most often tested on the USMLE. An especially popular Power Review section helps students brush up on the details and test how well they've retained knowledge over the study period. The thoroughly updated Third Edition organizes facts according to their specific basic science disciplines and provides current, accurate information at just the right level of depth for study and review. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Needs workHas the potential for being a very helpful book, but I found it to be filled with repeated questions and incorrect information - suprising for a 2nd edition. Wouldn't recommend this book until someone does a much better job editing it. Rating:  - Not as bad as some of the other reviewers sayThis book isn't so bad. It is true that the NBME is moving away from using buzzwords in their questions, but many of the questions in this book are useful to remind you of important facts. For example, the first question in the biochemistry section is "What is the rate limiting step in glycolysis?" Answer "PFK-1".

I had very few if any buzzwords on my USMLE. However, many medical schools still use buzzwords on their exams, and it is an easy book to skim through before tests if you have extra time. Rating:  - Useless!!!!This book is completely useless. It only gives you key words to identify syndromes, pathologies, treatments, etc... but in the real test you don't get those key words that lead you to a quick answer, like in this book. One of the worst books and worst review books out there. DON'T BUY. Don't even bother to read into it, USELESS, USELESS, USELESS!!! Rating:  - This is a great book for USLME step 1This definitely helped me remember more facts quite faster in preparation for the USMLE Step 1. The book focuses on key facts and topics that are so important to know in order to pass the test. I also used the following books that are also available on amazon.com: Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers (ISBN: 0971999635) Spinal Anatomy Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers (ISBN: 0971999600) The last two study guides helped me know the type of ...
