Review It provides a precise and to the point review of what is required for the USMLE !
I used several prep. test books for the test and this one most closely matched the content of the exam. It covers many of the topics and it's explanations are perfectly detailed. It's a great tutor. It needs better diagrams and the version I read had an insulting degree of editing errors--the publisher informs me the edition currently for sale is corrected. Even with the errors, this was the best collections of printed tests I used. Good luck!

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.

Review It is a mini Crush Step 3; without the pictues and tables! Readable, but certainly not enough. Maybe enough for an internist, but not for someone in some other specialty. And it is overpriced too. You can buy Crush and Master the boards in that price!
I bought this book on amazon, found it absolutely useless and may not even fit the examination requirements for 3 rd year medical students. The material presented is very superficial,limited and without any depth of the subject. If one depends on this book , they can never get through the test. Step 3 is the test of managing patients(office, emergeny and inpatient), knowing what to do next and managing complications and not just knowing the outlines of the test. I think the author is either inexperienced or belongs to other non-clinical field. I strongly discourage any body who wants to buy this book. It will not help and may lead you in a wrong path and give you false reassurances.- samuel .k
