Strongest of the Series,
By
This review is from: Pediatrics PreTest Self Assessment and Review, Eleventh Edition (Paperback)
Relevant, quick, and useful questions. Having used the Pretest series before with great disappointment (Surgery, Psych, Ob/Gyn), I decided to ditch Pretest except that I heard several good comments on med student forums. Much to my surprise, the questions in this book covered pertient facts. Unlike other Pretest books, this one omits most of the picky and numerical based questions that don't show up on exams. The 500 questions are organized in sensible fashion to allow you to target weak areas. While the questions still don't simulate board-style (clinical vignettes) for the most part, they tend to target the important aspects of knowledge. If you tend to distrust Pretest, give this one a shot.

Excellent prep for the NBME shelf! Get it!,
By
This review is from: Pediatrics PreTest Self Assessment and Review, Eleventh Edition (Paperback)
If there's only one book you can master in preparation for the pediatrics shelf exam, this is definitely the one. I used this book in conjunction with case files and got my best shelf grade ever. Here are some things I noticed:
1. The material covered in this book is relevant, with the appropriate level of detail, and almost all inclusive of the shelf exam. Many of the questions I encountered in this book were almost the same as the ones I saw on the exam. 2. You can do these questions to test your knowledge after studying or simply as a learning tool (without any studying). Because the answer explanations are so well written, you'll learn the info either way. 3. The question style resembles the shelf, although the shelf ones are a bit longer. 4. This book is not as expensive compared to other resources. So in conclusion ... get this book and go through it twice if you can.

Probably the best step 2 book in this series.,
This review is from: Pediatrics PreTest Self Assessment and Review, Eleventh Edition (Paperback)
This is probably the best single source for pediatric prep for step 2. I've gone through the Lorin book and found it to be too picky vs. the step 2 exam. If you want to go into peds, the Lorin book will help you later, but for shear step 2 prep, this is the book to get. Pertinent questions and nothing esoteric. Fast read. I think i bought if for about $20. Well worth it. Trust me. I scored > 2 sd above the mean.
Don't waste your time with blue prints.
