Average Rating: 
Rating: - High yield questions
This book is divided into 2 main parts, the first includes cases which are good but their explanations contain many information that are beyond the scope of the exam or are not high yield. The second part is great for the quality of questions it contains, I think these 400 questions cover the main ideas of the exam with a format that looks nearly like that of the USMLE step 2 exam, I reccomend this book for its great questions.

I recommend it to anyone who has a limited amount of time to study and wants to review some high-yield topics. I scored very high on both Step 1 and Step 2 and am applying ... Read More
Rating:  - very bad
this book is a waste of time and money.it only covers 20%of the exam content.i would not recomend it to any one.i think crush the board and prescription for the board are the best available ones to buy.
