Customer Reviews

Outstanding Step 3 review
Contrary to one review, the questions are incredibly well thought out, cover a wide range of HIGH-YIELD material, and are set up exactly like the real step 3 questions (COMLEX and USMLE).

CLEAR explanations of why each answer is right or wrong solidifying your learning.

Adequate
Given the typical time crunch we experience as interns prepping for Step 3, this book was an adequate resource for the exam. It is nicely divided into sections which allows you to focus your preparation. I'm a pediatrics intern and was able to focus on internal medicine and Og/Gyn sections (things I haven't dealt with as a resident). The format was similar to the exam; however, I found the sample questions on the USMLE CD to be much closer to the real thing.

I used this text and Crush and felt adequately prepared. No surprises on the exam.

Average quesions
Quesions were average and overall low yield. As a huge fan of the Kaplan line for years (MCAT, Step 1, Step 2), I was really dissapointed with this offering. You would better spend your time doing USMLE World questions on line than with this book.
