Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very good!
This book provides comprehensive preview for step 2 CK. Focuses on next step in management of commonly asked diseases. Uses paragraphs instead of bullets for easy, coherent reading.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good book
I take Step 2CK in 2 days, so we'll see how well I do.

Good book for review while in rotations, but horrible for detailed step 2 CK.

The way I learn best is of course practice questions, however, sometimes reading books is necessary. That is where this comes into play. It is a great adjunct to qbanks, however, cannot be used as a primary source in and of itself. It misses a lot of information about certain ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Quick review for the CK
This book is not as comprehensive as the First Aid, but it is definitely a good way to quickly review high-yield topics. Some topics will need you to read them elsewhere though.
