Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Very helpful for CS
This review book was very helpful in taking Step 2 CS. It contains more info than you need, but is organized in a manner where you can easily skip what you don't need. The "minicases" were tremendously helpful, if for no other reason than just brushing up on diagnoses I hadn't thought about in months... If you have time, you can look over the practice cases, but those are skippable if you're crunched for time. I started reviewing 1 week prior to the exam & I think I did just fine.
Rating:  - SUPER IMPORTANT ITEM
THIS IS A BASIC FOR PASSING STEP 2 CS, FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WORK UP, THE MINICASES ARE VERY HELPFULL, BUY IT WITH CONFIDENCE, IT IS A GREAT BOOK
Rating: - Gotta have it, not to learn, but to alleviate anxiety.
The great thing about this book is that it demystifies the CS so you know EXACTLY what is coming at you. Not so much the actual cases, nobody can do that for you, but you'll know the format, time constraints, everything about the exam right down to the pesky little details. I didn't bother reading any of the cases, but the book was worth the purchase just so I knew about the test itself and could prepare myself mentally. I was kind of freaking out about this exam until I read this book, the day of the exam, I was totally relaxed and I wasn't surprised by anything.
I can't comment on the cases other than to say there is quite a few of them in here.
I would buy this book again knowing what is in it, and what was involved with the test.
This book will not guarantee a pass for you, nothing can. A fellow medical student that took the exam the same day as me at the same center failed, and he read it cover to cover.
Best thing to do with this book is read about the exam itself, ignore the rest, and do your best to relax the day of the exam (alprazolam or beta blockers never hurt either if you need them) and treat it like any other day at the clinic.
Good luck.
Rating: - Perfect stud tool
If you are planning on taking the USMLE Step 2, don't underestimate the test. This book is a sine qua non condition to pass the test. It doesn't matter how confident or how easy you think you are. The test is all about practice, and this little book has everything you need to know to perform and pass.
Seriously folks, get this book to study or DON'T GO TO THE TEST.
Practice, Practice, Practice!

Definitely a must have, great guide for the USMLE step 2 CS, especially if you have a study partner.
