4.0 out of 5 stars Concise, 1-book review for Step 2., January 22, 2001

This review is from: Boards and Wards: A Review for USMLE Steps 2 & 3 (Paperback)

This book was more than helpful for Step 2. In particular, it helped me polish up on dermatology, ophthalmology, neurology, and radiology - subjects not well covered in the other review books I used, and subjects which had an appreciable presence on USMLE Step 2. It also helped me review OB/GYN at the last minute. Look out for errors, though - others in my class found flaws in the medicine section, for example. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars. Worth the price for all the high-yield information packed in this little green book.

Very good book for step 3, specially when you are cramming for the last minute. The most useful parts were the pictures and charts. They are really few good books in the market for step 3 and i can honestly say that this book and " Crush the boards" by Adam Brochert are the best.

Dear 3rd step givers, you are almost there. You have conquered 2 steps and one CSA and now its time for final showdown. You would really like to finish off with a bang.This book might just help you achieve that. It is written in an easy and flowing manner which helps to digest and absorb the material given. The charts and diagrams are very helpful.Most importantly it is closer to what is asked in the actual exam. My advise to those who are looking for a good, concise and uptodate review book for STEP 3....PLEASE GO FOR BOARDS AND WARDS. because it helps you pass the final step with a bang
