Editorial Review: Product Description: Blueprints Computer-Based Case Simulation Review is the first and only book to break down the computer-based case simulations administered on day two of the Step 3 exam. Many review books help you study for the multiple-choice question portion of Step 3, but none of them prepare you for the computer-based cases. More than a practical guide, this must-have resource is your key to scoring high. The focused strategy for handling cases lets you apply your clinical knowledge to the exam with confidence. If you want to maximize your Step 3 test score, you need Blueprints Computer-Based Case Simulation Review! Features: Master the CCS test format Understand the tricks to treating computerized patients Predict your CCS Case topics before the exam Learn how your exam is scored Special advice for International Medical Graduates Average Rating:
 Rating:  - worthless purchaseThis book did not help with any preparation to attempting the CCS cases, your best option would be to print out the read out material provided by [...] and follow each each thoroughly in order to grasp the general gist and order of managment. I didn't find this book helpful at all. It was overpriced where I could have used that money to just extend the bank for the CCS cases. Rating: - ridiculously overpriced for the contentThe book is a pamphlet with less than 70 pages of actual content- waaaay overpriced at 30 dollars. The actual pages dealing with strategy and the test are about 25. the rest are 15 practice cases. The so called method of approaching a CCS patient that reviewers here are finding revolutionary is the same thing they teach you on your first rotations- the H&P and orders needed for various types of patients. for heaven's sake, don't waste your money on this thing, what a joke.

Even though I did a hundred cases, I was so ill prepared for the exam day CCS, they were just horrid.. you can order the million dollar workup and still not have a diagnosis, I had a patient who kept complaining ...

Other Case reviews are inaccurate on format or included sections... this one is "perfect" for your line of thinking for the exam. Rating: - Must HaveWhat a great addition to the Blue Prints series. This tiny book teaches you step by step how to "play the game" of the Sim section of Step 3. If you can master this, the sim section will be a breeze...I had no surprises the day of the exam, and I thank this book for giving me the tools to crush it.
