Review
These cases tell your simulated patient exactly what to say and do during the H&P. It is excellent for student-student practice but also if you are practicing with a patient (like my husband) who does not have a medical background. In addition, it also has really good examples of SOAP notes and detailed diagnostic and management plans following each case.
I have also used First Aid and USMLE World to study for the Step 2 CS. I found "Case-Based Simulation" to be particularly helpful for studying the musculoskeletal components of the exam. This book has very easy to understand descriptions and diagrams of the maneuvers for examining the knee, shoulder and back. It also describes the pathophysiology that may be related to each type of complaint. After practicing the exams, I now feel that I can do these exams with confidence. I would still buy First Aid or subscribe to UW to study, but this book is very helpful as a companion or to practice with classmates.
I found this book to be very helpful, with thorough discussions of the topics. The book is designed to be used for study with other people to practice cases. I have used this book and First Aid.

Review
the book had a lot of questions and answers highlighted and pen markings all over. this was not what i expected, but arrived early
I used Kaplans Step 2 Qbook throughout MS-3. I would highly recommend this to any other MS-3 as a great resource to study for individual shelf exams from IM to surg. It was great to only buy one (inexpensive) question book for all of third year. I have not yet taken step 2 so cannot discuss how it prepares you for that test. The questions are slightly easier than pre-test. The answer and explanation section is complete and better organized than most question books. In summary, if you like question books, this is a must have for all of third year.
i dunno how this book prepares you for step 2ck since i haven't taken it yet, but it doesn't do that great of a job for shelf exams. i find that the questions in this are much easier than the ones in the NBME shelf - they're shorter, give more obvious hints, more answer choices can be ruled out, and NONE of the questions ask you to interpret images. i also don't like how the book is so lopsided. 400 of the questions are in the internal medicine section and others like ob/gyn, psych, and surgery only get 100 questions each. this is definitely not enough for shelf exam preparation and other question resources must be used. still, the content in these questions is high yield so i'd use them as a learning tool rather than an assessment of how you'll do on the shelf. the answer explanations are nice in that you get to see why each choice is right/wrong. if you are looking for a more balanced question book, particularly with questions that require image interpretation, try blueprints q+a for step 2. it has 200 questions for each of the 5 core clerkships.

Review
Know these Vignettes! Nothing more to say. They will be tested over. Period :)
Great way to review right before your exam. Helped me prepare for the case-based questions that now make up the majority of the step 1 test. The two pathology volumes give the biggest bang for the buck if money is tight, but I think the whole series (5 books: pathology I & II, microbiology, behavioral science & biostatistics, and anatomy & embryology) is outstanding.
This is the best way to prepare for the exam! This guy knows his stuff and explains it VERY well. All case-based reviews - there are no multiple choice questions in these books. All the series is excellent except the anatomy volume was low-yield for exam.
