1.0 out of 5 stars Not helpful, November 27, 2003

By	Tony "aac23" (Reading, PA USA) - See all my reviews

I am not sure who wrote the review above, but this book is barely helpful to prepare for Step 3. Chiefly, the questions are NOT in the format of the exam. Many have straight-forward (single-word; not simple) answers and test highly arcane facts for those (not me) that practice Internal Medicine. As I found with Step 2, the only questions that are ANYTHING like the exam are the NMS Series.

1.0 out of 5 stars so far from step 3, February 20, 2004

By	toor "kdstoor" (madera, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I wish the people who write specific review books have atleast an iota of idea about what the exam is like.At this rate you can as well give the book a title like usmle step 2, or PLAB or any other title cos the book has as much relation to these as to the step 3 exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent practice tests for USMLE Step 3, July 14, 2003

By A Customer

It presents the same Step 3 format.The explanations are excellent. You will learn from the explanations about topics that are not covered by the review books, but are asked on the test. Is a complement to a review book. I recommends this book in combination with CRUSH the boards.Is a great combo.
