4.0 out of 5 stars Good study tool, July 1, 2001

By 

Umber76 (Brookline, MA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: USMLE Step 2 Mock Exam, 1e (Paperback)

I begin by saying that there is no perfect practice set of questions for the USMLE Step 2 exam (not a single book that deserves 5 stars). This book highlighted several key points that actually came on my exam. However the format of the questions did not accurately represent the exam (but I have not found *any* set of questions that does). Good points: 1/3 of the questions have lots of lab values that you must sift through. In the actual exam you must be very comfortable with lab values. There are excellent quality images in the book. And the explantions are concise yet informative. Bad points: 2/3 of the questions are either "all are true EXCEPT" (which do not appear on the exam) or are quick recall (when the actual exam is more conceptual). All in all, I am glad I used this book and would recommend it as a study tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars A question vignette format of his Secrets Book, September 1, 2004

This review is from: USMLE Step 2 Mock Exam (Paperback)

If you read Brochert's Step 2 Secrets book, then you will have no problems navigating through the Mock Exam. The book is good in that it reinforces some key ideas from his Secrets book, and it's another source of questions for your Step 2 prep. As far as teaching you something different from his Secrets or Crush books, you won't get that in this book.

The book is most helpful not with its clinical vignette questions, but with its "most common" questions, which showed up a lot on my exam. In short, there are better question books and banks out there, so think twice before buying this book IF you haven't already read Secrets or Crush Step 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars Had to write this!, April 6, 2003

"charlesf170" (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: USMLE Step 2 Mock Exam, 1e (Paperback)

I'm not much for writing reviews, but this book helped me so much on the step 2 exam that I felt compelled to sing its praises. Absolutely superb, "on the money" questions and answers that are very high-yield and well-written. One of the things that I really liked also was the author's conversational style and sense of humor. He doesn't make you feel retarded every time you read the explanation to a question you got wrong. Best investment I made as far as step 2 review goes (believe me, I wasted a lot of money on review books, some of which I never even got a chance to open). Also liked the NMS Step 2 question book, but this one was better.
