Editorial Review: Product Description: The United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 3 is the final step of the USMLE examination series. The focus of the Step 3 examination is on the clinical sciences, physical examination, data interpretation, and appropriate management in different clinical settings. Review Questions for The USMLE Step 3 Examination contains over 400 'high yield' questions carefully written to cover the material typically found on the actual exam, allowing you to identify areas that need greater focus in your preparation. In addition, like the actual exam, this review book contains high quality color plates in a special section of the book. It is clearly not possible for any text to cover all the material encountered on the actual examination. However, there are certain topics, because of their clinical importance, that are examined year after year. Providing coverage of favorite USMLE topics and an easy-to-use layout, this book familiarizes you with the format of the examination and the areas that need further study in your overall preparation. You can work through this book piece by piece, focusing on the subjects in any order that is convenient for you. Or you may work through the book by simulating the examination and becoming familiar with the format and time limit. Review Questions for the USMLE Step 3 Examination helps you focus and plan the time you need to study, and the areas in which you should put most of your efforts. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Poor choice for Step 3 reviewNot well-written, questions cover esoteric, low-yield points, and the book is way overpriced for the number of questions it contains. Also found several factual errors, making me question the reliability of the information. Look elsewhere for step 3 review, such as Swanson's Family Practice review questions. Rating:  - Not what I neededI needed a question book that I could go through in a few days and feel as though I had covered the "major" areas and high-yield info that I had forgotten since medical school. This book has a lot of nit-picky stuff that isn't asked on the boards (at least not the ones I took a few weeks ago). Not very well-written either. Wish I had flipped thru the pages a little more carefully before I bought it. Rating:  - Excellent practiceThis book is good prep for step 3. The questions are well written and interesting to work through. Some of them are not as long as they are in the real exam but the format is similar. The clinical pictures are really good quality and the clinical examination tables are helpful for last minute review. Rating: - yet another of those boring MCQ books.There are a lot of books out there which overscore this one.The questions presented in the book are not at all up to the mark.After reading some of the questions i felt as if i can write better questions than these.Probably i should consider writing a review book for usmle step 3.The book is over priced too.The only good thing about the book is the very good quality of its pages and pictures. Rating: - Review Questions for USMLE step 3Considering the Nature of the USMLE step 3 examination (Ability of a Physician to solve practical medical problem), I found this book extrememly useful. The authors approach to contents of the book is very specific and to the point. The answers are well explained with examples and directed to wards appropriate references. I think there should be more questions containing Case vignettes with tiple set items. This format is getting more popular in the USMLE exams.
