I had already used the Chern review book and Chern question book the year before. This book has far more questions than the Chern book. This book also covers some topics that are not covered well or at all in the Chern book such as pathology, fundamentals, general medicine, and refractive surgery. The problem I have with this book is that the questions themselves are not high yield. There are a LOT of questions on minutia. While the Chern question book had fewer questions, I found that the content covered in Chern was more relevant to what showed up on the OKAPS. But if you have extra time, use this book too. And I suspect that much of the "minutia" in this book wont seem like minutia anymore when studying for the real boards.
