5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good source of practice questions, March 18, 2010

This review is from: Kaplan Medical USMLE Step 1 Qbook (Paperback)

It's a Qbook. It has questions and answers. If you need study tips or strategies, try websites, blogs, your school advisors. If you want practice questions, this is a good resource.

This will definitely not replace using an online QBank, but it has USMLE-style questions with decent explanations, in a portable format so that you can study even when you can't be on your computer. I actually keep it on my nightstand and do some questions every night in bed (nothing like board studying to make you sleepy). It is a better Qbook than the First Aid Qbook, which has many errors and sometimes weak explanations. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU CAN TRUST KAPLAN TO DO A GREAT JOB, June 19, 2011

This review is from: Kaplan Medical USMLE Step 1 Qbook (Paperback)

Kaplan delivers, and that is just a fact. They are a company that exists to help you ace your exams whatever it may be. I like the fact that Kaplan brings to the table years of experience training USMLE candidates. That being said, this is by no means an all in one book or a stand-alone study resource. This is ideally used as a supplement to standard text books like Ganong's Physiology, Harpers Biochemistry , which you can find on amazon.com and USMLE total review which you can find on usmlestep.net and the USMLE FIRST AID series. If you really want to ace the USMLE, you have to have a big budget, and that is a simple truth.
