This review is from: Platinum Vignettes - Pathology II: Ultra-High Yield Clinical Case Scenarios For USMLE Step 1, 1e (Paperback)

After studying like crazy for a full month for the USMLE, I needed a break from reading textbooks. I decided to check out this case-based review because a friend recommended it. I am still thanking him for this recommendation. This book and the other books in the series really prepare you well for the USMLE, because they get you used to the long clinical vignettes that made up most of my exam. The cases and explanantions are EXTREMELY high-yield and very concise but thorough. I recommend the whole series for anyone who wants to do well on the Step 1 exam.

This review is from: Platinum Vignettes - Pathology II: Ultra-High Yield Clinical Case Scenarios For USMLE Step 1, 1e (Paperback)

There was a lot of material in the books in this series, yet I found myself getting through them quickly and retaining a lot of the information, I think because the material is so well presented and explained. Great cases and the format is tailor-made for current USMLE format. This author really understand what the board question writers are into. For me, this type of review was the best way for me to get ready for Step 1.
