Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Know these Vignettes
Know these Vignettes! Nothing more to say. They will be tested over. Period :)


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very high-yield info
Great way to review right before your exam. Helped me prepare for the case-based questions that now make up the majority of the step 1 test. The two pathology volumes give the biggest bang for the buck if money is tight, but I think the whole series (5 books: pathology I & II, microbiology, behavioral science & biostatistics, and anatomy & embryology) is outstanding.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This is awesome!
This is the best way to prepare for the exam! This guy knows his stuff and explains it VERY well. All case-based reviews - there are no multiple choice questions in these books. All the series is excellent except the anatomy volume was low-yield for exam.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lives up to the hype!
All my colleagues that recently took the Step 1 exam were raving about this series while I waited an extra two months to take the exam because I was so paranoid.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Can do much better than pass with this series
I scored in the 87th percentile on Step 1 and credit much of my above-average performance to this series. The author seems very in tune with what's important for the boards. Lots of great info presented in the way it was asked about on my exam. Strongly recommend every book in the series, but particularly the pathology volumes. Check these out!
