5.0 out of 5 stars Worth its weight in gold!
I needed this book and 2 weeks of following their instructions to pass this exam. I am an AMG, got this book, did what they said, and Voila! I passed. If you really do what they say, I have no doubt you will pass too. I am externing now, and I have gone back to this book, because I see that physical examinations are really done like that!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it
First off, I am an IMG studying for the CS exam. I have bought a host of books and even taken a course at Kaplan, but I wanted to be extra prepared so I bought this book from the USMLEhelp website. I paid roughly 35 bucks for the book and web access to sound files. The book is actually a little pocket note pad- it can fit into your lab coat pocket and seems pretty...

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth its weight in gold!, June 5, 2007
This review is from: USMLE Help Step 2 CS (Spiral-bound)
I needed this book and 2 weeks of following their instructions to pass this exam. I am an AMG, got this book, did what they said, and Voila! I passed. If you really do what they say, I have no doubt you will pass too. I am externing now, and I have gone back to this book, because I see that physical examinations are really done like that!!!! It's a good refresher, even now. Excellent book, well worth the price.

My wife is an IMG, and she used this book too. I think she benefited even more from it because she learned what to do, what to say (She also did USMLEHelp online sound courses which helped her tremendously), and how to say it. They talk about the exam in the first 60 or so pages, and then it's COMPLETE physical exam encounters the rest of the way.

It's definitely worth the price, and I would suggest this book to anyone who is taking this exam - if you're an AMG or an IMG.

I have also bought their CCS and CK books. Hey, I'm a fan, what can I say? But they are all written for the student in mind, and they are all really good. Between me and my wife, we had just about bought every book that's out there for the exams, and this is really the best of the bunch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best USMLE Step 2 CS book, June 5, 2007
This review is from: USMLE Help Step 2 CS (Spiral-bound)
I used several books for USMLE Step 2 CS preparation and this is by far the best book. I can highly recommend it - not only because I passed the exam thanks to it but also because it is easy and fun to read. This is a unique and excellent preparation book for the USMLE step 2 CS examination. Especially helpful for IMG, however also recommended for american graduates. It is very easy to read and covers everything from initial "plan of attack" for the preparation to valuables advises for the examinee during the exam.

This review is from: USMLE Help Step 2 CS (Spiral-bound)
First off, I am an IMG studying for the CS exam. I have bought a host of books and even taken a course at Kaplan, but I wanted to be extra prepared so I bought this book from the USMLEhelp website. I paid roughly 35 bucks for the book and web access to sound files. The book is actually a little pocket note pad- it can fit into your lab coat pocket and seems pretty underwhelming. It has some helpful hints but nothing new or revolutionary- you can find all this content in any other review book. It claims to have 40 cases to practice with, but the cases are without explanations or discussion. I then tried the online audio files- they were about 100 standard phrases that could be found in any of the review books out there. I know it was only 35 bucks but those 35 bucks could've been applied to a better book- such as First Aid which offers 41 cases with explanations and discussions, or Kaplan's 35 complex cases- which has a fantastic intro section that covers pretty much every scenario someone would face on the test. The live course I took at Kaplan had their own version of this book at their class but the Kaplan 35 complex cases books is much more comprehensive, if I could go back in time I would've saved 3000 dollars I used on the live prep class and just bought First Aid and the Kaplan 35 cases book and read those.
