| I found this book useful for step 2 review.The content is relevant and the question format is also very similar to that in the actual exam.All in all this book is good value for money.
This book is not as good as I expected. I did the NMS 900 Qs first. Then I did 900 Qs from this book. They are much different! Although I rate this book 3 stars, do you know how many stars I gave to NMS? Six stars---if I were allowed.<p>But, I have to say most of the cases in this book are good---even very good. The problem is the case arrangement and the explanation. Most of the cases are too short---as some other friends mentioned in their comments. A lot of the explanations are really bad, the authors did not explain directly---why A or B is right. Most of the time, they did not explain why the other answers are wrong. For some explanations, you really do not know what they were talking about. In addition, there are some obvious errors---like A is the right answer and B is given in the explanation.<p>But anyway, I still learned a lot from this book.
I think that the book that I had must have been different from the one the other reviewers purchased, because my "Appleton & Lange's Practice Test for the USMLE Step 2" had poorly written questions, with many answers that were out of date and/or incorrect. The questions were nothing like those seen on the Step 2. Questions in the book were generally 2-3 sentences long, where as on the computer based test the most of the questions were paragraphs long. The only redeaming part of the tests were that sets of questions would build on one another, forcing you to take several looks at a question. For instance- based on answer for question 'a' and 'b', what is the answer for question 'c'. This type of questioning, however, is nothing like that found on Step 2. For a quick glance at a penny store, this would be an okay book. For improving test taking skill and knowledge at it's full price tag, this one's a joke. For some much better books look at the "Crush the Boards" and "NMS-tests" |
