5.0 out of 5 stars Good review book., September 25, 2001

This review is from: Review for Usmle: United States Medical Licensing Examination, Step 1 (National Medical Series for Independent Study) (Paperback)

I thought this book was a great review of Step 1 material. Has 1,000 questions with pretty good answer explanations.

I would not recommend using this as your only source of questions. However, it is a good question source for rapid review of a lot of information. You can get through the questions rather quickly. Offers a nice change of pace from the NMS series or Board Review Series (which tend to bog you down with long, very detailed answers requiring intense attention).

Highly recommend as an additional source of questions.

P.S. Remember, the best way to score high on Step 1 is QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS!!!

This book gives excellent examples of what you will face during the real test. It is a good guideline to show how you are doing in terms of preparation. It gave me great confidence which I desperately needed to do well on this test

3.0 out of 5 stars might be good for us graduates but not foreign graduates, August 19, 2000

This review is from: Review for Usmle: United States Medical Licensing Examination, Step 1 (National Medical Series for Independent Study) (Paperback)

its a fair source of basic concepts, but lacks the true reflection of standard of difficulty of boards.if you are a foreign medical graduate and have time it's much better to use NMS BOARD SIMULATOR SERIES.
