3.0 out of 5 stars Another, in a line of mediocre Step II books, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prescription for the Boards, USMLE Step 2 (Paperback)

If you read the other reviews...they just about say it right: the book you need if you want to PASS. However, NOT the book you need if you want to do WELL. This book has lots of pages and lots of words, but it doesn't seem to say all that much. It's not detailed enough, and I also think that many of the treatments discussed could use a bit of updating. I wasn't so immpressed.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT SOURCE for medical review, August 24, 2002

Susan C. (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Prescription for the Boards, USMLE Step 2 (Paperback)

I bought this book at the beginning of my third year, and I have been finding it to be an exceedingly useful and handy resource for quick reviews and getting up to speed for new rotations. It provides a lot of information in a format that is very accessible, easy to read, and easy to remember. I highly recommend this book for people at all levels of their medical training.

I passed Step 2 with this book. And this is the book I have seen most exam takers brought in the test site.
