Not well-written, questions cover esoteric, low-yield points, and the book is way overpriced for the number of questions it contains. Also found several factual errors, making me question the reliability of the information. Look elsewhere for step 3 review, such as Swanson's Family Practice review questions.

I needed a question book that I could go through in a few days and feel as though I had covered the "major" areas and high-yield info that I had forgotten since medical school. This book has a lot of nit-picky stuff that isn't asked on the boards (at least not the ones I took a few weeks ago). Not very well-written either. Wish I had flipped thru the pages a little more carefully before I bought it.

There are a lot of books out there which overscore this one.The questions presented in the book are not at all up to the mark.After reading some of the questions i felt as if i can write better questions than these.Probably i should consider writing a review book for usmle step 3.The book is over priced too.The only good thing about the book is the very good quality of its pages and pictures.

I recently bought this book, by chance, thinking... one more book about USMLE. To my surprise, this book was reallllly terrific. It helped me a lot, was very clearly written.although beware : there are some mistakes in the pharmacology section !! The other sections were very helpful, especially for someone who has very little time to prepare for the test. So, don't hesitate, and order this book. M.M.M

Considering the Nature of the USMLE step 3 examination (Ability of a Physician to solve practical medical problem), I found this book extrememly useful. The authors approach to contents of the book is very specific and to the point. The answers are well explained with examples and directed to wards appropriate references. I think there should be more questions containing Case vignettes with tiple set items. This format is getting more popular in the USMLE exams.

Very focused and excellent physical examination section. The color picture section is outstanding.

This book is good prep for step 3. The questions are well written and interesting to work through. Some of them are not as long as they are in the real exam but the format is similar. The clinical pictures are really good quality and the clinical examination tables are helpful for last minute review.
