Step 3 is about choosing a 1st step, 2nd step or 3rd step. The set up of the book is good, but the info. is not complete. Residency Programs vary in their protocols so for this standardized exam it is imperative that you learn exactly the test protocols. If Andreas Carl would add these changes...this book could be excellent. At this point it is ... Read More
