This book is going to save me tons of time. Now I don't have to look through tons of references while I'm studying! I wish this book had been out last year because it would have given me a good idea what kinds of things the Step 1 exam focuses on. I'll be anxiously awaiting the Step 2 book for next year!

This is an excellent book, starting with the questions on the NBME practice CD-ROM for the upcoming CBT version of the USMLE, Step 1. The book answers the questions and then provides a brief explanation for the correct (and incorrect) answers. The explanations are well written, carefully researched, and referenced to standard textbooks for further study. I really liked this book.

Before this book came out there was no direct and easy way to be that prepared for the boards. It's great to know that there is a book like this for medical students to use in preparation for the boards. The answers to the questions are direct and to-the-point without losing substance.

There are no questions or CD that has questions.. This book just has answers with no questions...

Given the relatively sparse information that accompanies the USMLE CBT practice questions on CD-ROM, this book fills a critical void by providing solutions to the sample test questions. IT can turn a frustrating and disheartening experience into a learning, and confidence boosting session of test preparation.

The book can be used in any level of depth, from mere scanning of the correct answers to review of "original" resource material. IT proved to be very useful in my test preparation.

Overall, this was a book that I was glad that I had. I just wished that the writers could've given some words of advice at the end of their answers, based upon the knowledge they gained in their search and in their USMLE experience. This advice could say something as simple as, "Drug-Drug interactions appear to be highly important to the NBME."
