i've been a big fan of step up series since the day i studied for step 1. so when comes to step 2 preparation, i have no doubt that this is one of the books that i decide to purchase off the local bookstore. i found out the information presented in this book is okay for broad knowledge and general understanding. when comes to specfic disease management, the book lists many tests under that disease and u have no idea what would be the best initial diagnostic step/or even best management for that particular disease. the book also contains numerous typos and careless mistakes that could be lethal had this book been your only primary study resource. overall, i strongly recommend this book to be used only when u have read blueprint series and decided to gain an overall perspective of what the common dzs are portrayed.

While studying for my Step 2, I tried to use every resource I had to ace this exam. Step-Up is not a book I'd recommend.

While I did finish this book from cover to cover (when I start something I must finish it), it only covered absolute BASIC medical knowledge. I don't think I gained anything from studying this book except for reinforcing my knowledge from Step 1 studying.

This book skips a lot of important information covered in Crush for Step 2 which is why I do not recommend this book to anyone preparing for their Step 2. Spend your money on USMLE World Qbank and Kaplan Qbank, both are more precise and detailed as to what is asked for this exam.

Good luck to all you future doc's!

this seller is excellent with respectable behavior as the book is very clean and arrived in a reasonable time .
thanks a lot and i recommend everyone to buy from him
