Editorial Review:

Product Description:
95% of Step 2 consists of clinical vignettes, and this exciting new review series presents a wealth of "guaranteed to be on the exam" clinical vignettes for Step 2 preparation to give the reader a clear-cut advantage. It is unique among case-based series in giving greater focus to high-yield information. The cases and accompanying images faithfully replicate the format of the case encounters presented in Step 2, and key points and important Step 2 "buzzwords" are highlighted for each case. The approach is simple and focused without leaving out any important information. Plus, the format gives readers the opportunity to guess the answer to the case before it is revealed and to postulate on which tests to order, what therapy to give and what to "watch out for" in the condition presented.

  • Concise vignettes, following the current vignette-based format of Step 2
  • Buzzwords highlighted for each case
  • "Interactive" format allows reader to guess answers, and then answers are revealed and explained
  • Written by the author of Crush The Boards and USMLE Step 2 Secrets




Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great way to review psych for step 2!
Loved the unknown case format. Classic and atypical presentations of high-yield psychiatry diagnoses are reviewed. Answers cover important info and give you a feel for differential diagnoses and how to distinguish among similar conditions (e.g., schizophreniform, schizophrenia, schizoid and schizotypal disorders). Quick read written in easy-to-understand language, with terms explained well. Definitely recommend!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Highly recommend it!
I don't like psychiatry, but I didn't want to miss any easy points on the exam, so I wanted a quick review of the topic. I used this book in conjunction with First Aid and got all the info I needed to do well on the psych questions on the boards. Cases are presented as unknown in a format similar to my exam. Great explanations cover all related info including differential diagnosis pearls and other high-yield info.
