5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, December 9, 2002

A very good book for USMLE Step 2. There are about 50% of questions in my USMLE Step 2 exam(I just took it in Nov/2002) are matching questions . You can find a lot of questions in this book are similar to the real exam, especially the matching questions.

2.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat disappointing, September 13, 2004

This review is from: Appleton & Lange Review for the USMLE Step 2 (Paperback)

I bought this book at a traditional book store -- it was on a discount to only $10.00 and I still think that I overpaid. I found many of the questions irrelevant to the step 2 testing environment, and some of the answers were just flat out wrong, and the book is only one year after publication. Explanations were also inadequate.

I would recommend purchasing one of the online question banks if you have the means - Q-bank is most like the boards, USMLEworld is significantly harder and less relevant, but both are far superior to this book. Save your money.
