Good for price. Thanks Amazone for shipping the book fast. Book is excellent. I have not started reading the book yet. I heard good remarks from previous users.&lt;br /&gt;Excellent analytical questions and detailed explanations This was a great purchase - really tough questions with thorough explanations - in contrast to some other review books with insufficient explanations. My favorite feature was that it explained all the choices in the answer instead of just the correct one, so you could know why your response was wrong or right. I was impressed with Kaplan's book. To add to this review, I just took Step 3 on May 7 and 8. I thought that this book was really true to the questions on the actual test in length, style, and difficulty level. I also used appleton and lange's question book and would not recommend it since it is way, way, way easier than the actual exam. I hope I pass, and if I had to, God forbid, do it over again, I would study even more kaplan questions and get more resources to prep for CSS.&lt;br /&gt;Great for Qs practice The famous great Q source for step 3, of course and needless to mention its not a replace to usmleworld , but it is a very good supplement the Qs are well written in a true exam style with very good explanations , the length if the Qs is optimal , this is not an issue for step 1 or 2, but it is a real issue for step 3, so train yourself for the marathon, yep it is a marathon, i look to step 1 as a 100 meters sprint and step 2 as a 400 meters sprint but step 3 mmmm a marathon, so be train for it as much as you can. i think it is even better than the on-line Q Bank (Kaplan) &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1127574832818582793-1915652591230239123?l=usmlestep23review.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usmlestep23review.blogspot.com/feeds/1915652591230239123/comments/default' title='ส่งความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usmlestep23review.blogspot.com/2009/06/kaplan-medical-usmle-step-3-qbook.html#comment-form' title='0 ความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1127574832818582793/posts/default/1915652591230239123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1127574832818582793/posts/default/1915652591230239123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usmlestep23review.blogspot.com/2009/06/kaplan-medical-usmle-step-3-qbook.html' title='Kaplan Medical USMLE Step 3 Qbook'/><author><name>alicyclicz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15699994217260302875</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QP8y1A0mSog/Sjel3NAdlAI/AAAAAAAAAAw/dk7MfOF4N84/s72-c/41znppDa5FL__SL210_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1127574832818582793.post-4235001516676639134</id><published>2009-06-16T05:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-16T06:07:13.769-07:00</updated><title type='text'>USMLE Step 2 Secrets  Review</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QP8y1A0mSog/SjeYqvj1VBI/AAAAAAAAAAY/0v-fPMVJhRM/s1600-h/51T7X5A4XFL__SL210_.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347910942614443026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 133px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 210px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QP8y1A0mSog/SjeYqvj1VBI/AAAAAAAAAAY/0v-fPMVJhRM/s320/51T7X5A4XFL__SL210_.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Written by Dr. Brochert, who scored in the 99th percentile in Steps 1 and 2 of the U.S. Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), this new addition to The Secrets Series(r) provides essential questions and answers covering topics that have appeared on recent Step II * Coverage of all specialty and subspecialty topics covered on Step 2 * All the most important "need-to-know" questions-and-answers in the proven format of the highly acclaimed Secrets Series(r) * Concise answers that include the author's pearls, tips, memory aids, and "secrets" * Bulleted lists, algorithms, and illustrations for quick review * Thorough, highly detailed index * Thought-provoking questions that provide succinct answers * Presentation of a vast amount of information, but not overly simplistic&lt;br /&gt;function registerNamespace(ns)&lt;br /&gt;{&lt;br /&gt;var parts = ns.split(".");&lt;br /&gt;var root = window;&lt;br /&gt;for(var i = 0; i &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Customer Reviews &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;every thing went smooth&lt;/strong&gt; and fast I got my book with in a week, almost new, it was a nice experiance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;And Adjunct Book; Not Comprehensive in the slightest&lt;/strong&gt; The format of the book involves several high yield questions or scenarios in each subject as opposed to a comprehensive review of each subject. Therefore, you should not use this book alone or even consider it a main source of information. It should be view as an adjunct source to a more comprehensive source such as "First Aid for the USMLE Step 2" or "Step Up to the USMLE Step 2." &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;         That being said, there are some nice features to this book. I did USMLEWORLD before reading this book and several of the questions I missed could have been answered had I read this book. It is very high yield and worth purchasing. However, I caution anyone who thinks this book is the Bible for Step 2 study or even if they think this book offers some "secrets". Most of the material in this book is fairly well known and obvious stuff but there are some useful tidbits in each chapter that is tested on that isn't obvious. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;four to five stars Excellent book for step 2 review&lt;/strong&gt;. It looks small, but it actually covers a large amount of material in a reader-friendly format. Well written and well-edited. I would strongly suggest anyone taking step2 to consider this book before purchasing boards/wards, first aid, crush, or step up. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can buy this book in low price on &lt;a href="http://astore.amazon.com/usmle.step2-20/detail/156053608X"&gt;http://astore.amazon.com/usmle.step2-20/detail/156053608X&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1127574832818582793-4235001516676639134?l=usmlestep23review.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://usmlestep23review.blogspot.com/feeds/4235001516676639134/comments/default' title='ส่งความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://usmlestep23review.blogspot.com/2009/06/usmle-step-2-secrets-review.html#comment-form' title='0 ความคิดเห็น'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1127574832818582793/posts/default/4235001516676639134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1127574832818582793/posts/default/4235001516676639134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://usmlestep23review.blogspot.com/2009/06/usmle-step-2-secrets-review.html' title='USMLE Step 2 Secrets  Review'/><author><name>alicyclicz</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15699994217260302875</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QP8y1A0mSog/SjeYqvj1VBI/AAAAAAAAAAY/0v-fPMVJhRM/s72-c/51T7X5A4XFL__SL210_.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
