5.0 out of 5 stars Efficient studying, October 30, 2004

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

This review is from: Crush Step 3: The Ultimate USMLE Step 3 Review (Paperback)

Everyone in my program uses this book to study for Step 3 (I'm a third year pediatric resident so I was worried that I was out of touch with bread and butter medicine). You have to know every single word in the book since it is very high yield. But it is perfect for a quick, efficient review of important topics. My only goal was to pass but I actually did pretty well on the exam. The book needs more on ethics and social issues. But, I used the old edition (neon green and black cover) and maybe the new edition covers that -- not sure though (which is why, if I could, I'd give it 4.5 stars). I paired it with Kaplan's Qbook and felt very well prepared for the exam.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good, but overrated., March 30, 2007

By	Rodney Eddi "Internal Medicine Doctor" (West Paterson, NJ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has been the "gold standard" for USMLE step 3 for a long time, mainly due to its size. It is a good book and contains a lot of information in a small volume, but it is NOT enough. The pediatrics and OB&GYN parts are very incomplete, and unless you are a resident in those specialties, you will have problems. The pictures are not enough. In my opinion, Kaplan Notes are better. If you have time, it is better to read Peds and OB&GYN from Step 2 Kaplan notes, and then review Step 3 Kaplan notes. At the end, use this book for rapid review. It would be nice if this book had a CCS section like "First Aid to USMLE Step 3"First Aid for the USMLE Step 3 (First Aid). Bottomline: Don't rely on it as the only source for preparation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crush Step 3: The Ultimate USMLE Step 3 Review, March 24, 2003

By	hamid R. bahadori (Charleston, SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Crush Step 3: The Ultimate USMLE Step 3 Review (Paperback)

This is the best book that someone can find for the step 3 preparations. I just took my step and find this book extremely useful. If you have time go through Kaplan Bank since the combination is unbeatable. for the step 3 I well prepared and read from many sources (Kaplan step 2 and 3 kit, Swanson, ace the board, Kaplan Qbank) and I find this book as some one read all the sources that I used and made an excellent review book for the step 3. In one sentence, this is the best and most useful available source for whom ever wants to take step3.
