Serious lack of QUALITY CONTROL, September 4, 2006
This review is from: Lange Q&A: USMLE Step 2 (Lange's Review for the USMLE Step 2) (Paperback)
Appleton & Lange has serious problems in their proofreading/quality control department or maybe they don't have one at all.
The book has quite a few errors in the answer key and on the explanations (erroneously stating that D is the correct answer instead of A, along with a confusing explanation on why A is the correct answer) These types of errors are extremely frustrating and make the book barely unusable; wrong answers and wrong explanations tend to stick and lead to confusion on test day.
Moreover, these errors have occurred on every A&L book I've used: The A&L Goldberg USMLE Step 2 book and the A&L PANCE review book all suffer from the same flaws.
This is not necessarily a knock on the authors, the questions and explanations are for the most part decent, but the answer key errors are too much to deal with in my honest opinion.
For a real good USMLE question book, get a copy of the NMS USMLE Step 2 2nd or 3rd edition
