Help me a lot during rotation but mostly for the Step 2 CK.,

This review is from: Blueprints Clinical Cases in Neurology (Paperback)
Neurology is a dificult material and this book hit the jackpot. The cases in this book are the one that going to show up in the exam. I used as part of my study for the Step 2 CK and I score a 220.
Good Luck!

This review is from: Blueprints Clinical Cases in Neurology (Paperback)
I've found the Blueprint Clinical Cases books are a great size to keep in a coat pocket with case lengths that make them perfect for reclaiming a few mins wherever you find them. It can't be your only book for the clerkship but it's a good second book.
The key to this series (like Case Files) is the quality of the discussion section and answers to questions. By comparison the Peds book was much stronger. Unfortunately the neuro discussion and answers are less detailed, fail to point out important contrasts and include more errors. Bottom line: recommended as a second book if you find yourself wanting to study 10 mins at a time.

This review is from: Blueprints Clinical Cases in Neurology (Paperback)
I'm on case 32 now (out of 60) and I've come across about 8 questions with wrong answers (each case has about 3-5 questions). The correct letter states one thing and the explanation seems to point to another choice. But, you are never sure since the explanation never repeats the correct choice (in addition to the correct letter choice what that choice said) in the answer section. Answers simply gives you the correct letter choice and explanation. In most cases this would not be a problem since you can figure out what the correct answer is by reading the explanation. But, many of the questions are things as med students are not familiar with. I'm pretty good at neuro and I find myself having to look up a lot of stuff that the question and explanations refer to. So, just be reading the explanation many times I still couldn't figure out what the correct choice letter was. Plus the explanations are not very thorough. It seems to speak to someone who's a 2nd year resident in neurology in order to comprehend some of the explanations. The content of the book is decent.
