 Rating:  - tried other books, but this was the bestI was told by interns that they used "Crush." Others used First Aid (which is what I used for Step 1). I looked at all 3 to study cardiology and found that Step-Up covered the most detail in the fewest words. There weren't paragraphs to read about topics, just the high-yield facts. I ended up doing the "Doctors in Training" review course for Step 2, (just as I had done for Step 1) and this was the book Dr. Jenkins uses in the course. Having him walk through the book and discuss the high-yield stuff ...

I dont have ANY ties to USMLE world but Ive used it and the other company's Qbank...World is MUCH better. This book is similar to First Aid, which is what I used for Step 1, but I think it has a better lay out than this book. Rating: - Excellent review bookI used Dr. Van Kleunen's "Step-Up to USMLE Step 2" book intensively last year. I love the approach, the amount of material covered. The fact that all the pediatric conditions are covered within the system chapters, so basically once you are through the Internal Medicine chapters, you only need to go over a few pages of Pediatrics, dealing with developmental milestones, vaccinations, etc. and you are ready for Peds questions as well. Dr. Van Kleunen uses very practical charts and diagnostic/treatment ... Read More Rating:  - Plain useless... I read quite a few books on the subject and this one was a worst of all (Kaplan, FA, Crush, Boards'n'Wards). Can't really compare with FA for Step 2 CK since FA has a different format and better organized and concise material. I am suspicious about 2nd editions coming out only a year after first. Seems to be a waste of money, but you may like it. Rating: - Better than First Aid for Step 2Let me preface by saying that I prefer the First Aid series in general over the Step Up books especially for the USMLE Step 1. However, this book is superior to that of First Aid for Step 2. The information presented in this book is not obvious and straightforward as in the First Aid book. The authors did a better job screening topics and clarifying areas while still maintaining as much detail as the First Aid for Step 2 book. They also do a better job discussing treatment and diagnosis. BUT...the ... Read More
