4.0 out of 5 starsGood for a question book, but better board review options are out there
By Uftone1 on October 11, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
As far as practice question books go, this is right on the money. There's tons of practice questions, split up by clerkship (which helps if you're studying for shelf exams). The explanations are good at showing not only why the correct answer is correct, but why the other options are wrong. I didn't give it 5 stars since the questions are a bit on the shorter side compared to the real board. But other than that, it's good review.

Actually, my biggest complaint is not with the book per se, but that if you're serious about practicing for the boards, you're better off going with an online qbank. While they're more expensive than this Qbook, you get much more content, better explanations, and you can tailor your studying to your weak areas.

But as far as QBooks go, I'd recommend this one.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood and loved the price
By Nicholas E. Lindsay on June 12, 2009
Format: Paperback
I love doing practice questions (much better than reading review books), so when I saw this one and the good price, I had to have it. While going through the questions, I didn't notice many mistakes or typos, and the topics seemed fairly similar to the real thing.

I ended up only studying from this Qbook and 1 other review book before Step 2. My hope was to avoid having to buy other materials (specifically I didn't want to shell out for another online question bank). Although I didn't feel too great on the day of the test, I ended up with a good score (>245).

5.0 out of 5 starsUseful for the Step 2CK!
By M. Hameer on June 20, 2012
Format: Paperback
I own the 2009 edition of this book, so I'm going to review that. While I didn't use the book as my primary question source (it is strongly advisable to use one of the popular online qbanks (Usmle World/Kaplan/Usmle Rx) for that as they are more thorough), this book was very useful to me during the last few weeks of my step 2CK to help me assess my "readiness".

According to an online seminar of Kaplan Medical I once heard, Dr. Steven Daugherty (author of the study skills and exam strategies section included in this book) mentioned that if you consistently score (in multiple blocks in timed format) between 60-65% correct you are going to either get a low pass or borderline fail; between 65-70% you are going to pass; and greater than 70% you are going to score high. So this qbook was very helpful to me in giving me my percentage scores of each subject discipline as I did them in a timed manner.

But to get a more accurate idea of my score, I used First Aid's Step 2CK Q&A which has an 8 block exam to simulate the exam experience (in addition to questions according to organ system/subject wise). This was also a good resource that I used during my last week before the exam. I did 4 blocks from the simulation exam and scored 66%. I also did the latest free 3 block exam from the USMLE website and scored 72%. I scored well on the actual exam.

Most people use NBMEs to give them their predictive score to assess their exam readiness and that can be helpful. I also used them. But I found the percent scale system of Dr. Daugherty much more reliable and useful. As long as you are consistently scoring between 65-70% you will pass and if you are consistently scoring more than 70%, you will kill this exam.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat question book!
By R. Becker on August 2, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a great question book that really looks a lot like the questions that I saw on the NBME shelf exams during my 3rd year rotations. I haven't taken Step 2, but I plan on using this question book to help study for CK. The answers/explanations are thorough but not too lengthy. The questions are probably more challenging than the shelf questions.

There are separate sections for the respective disciplines (surgery, OB/GYN, etc.) Therefore, a person can study for each subject separately.

Good question book to work through during the last couple of weeks for each rotation.

I am a 2nd year PA student and currently doing my clinical rotations. Our school uses USMLE questions to test our knowledge at the end of each rotation. I have found this book to be a great help.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood question review book for 3rd year shelf exam and Step 2
By lampshade327 on March 27, 2011
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I acquired the Kindle version when Amazon was offering if for free and have found it very helpful. I have used this question review book for several 3rd year shelf exams and have found the questions to be comparable to the difficulty level of the shelf exams. I have used the electronic Kaplan QBank for Step I studying and these question are written in the similar style with a clinical vingette and then explained answers. When used in conjunction with UWorld, Pretest and a general subject review book, all bases for studying for both 3rd year shelf exams and Step II. Depending on the section, there are up to four 50 question exams per subject matter.

The electronic Kindle version is a good buy as well because of its cheaper price and its accessibilty over a computer, IPad, Kindle, etc. Plus it is easier to search and you don't have to carry around a big book as Kaplan tends to have larger books.
