Summary: More Questions
Review: Well, I must say that the best way to place high on Step II is to really build your foundational knowledge of the application of medicine during your 3rd year. That said, I feel that the importance of doing practice questions for several months before the actual exam cannot be overstated.
But there is really an art to "doing practice questions." One part of that art is to have a huge bank of questions available. Basically, each question in the entire bank adds one (or sometimes a few) little fact(s) to your fund of knowledge.
If you have a limited bank of questions, and that is your primary "test prep" source, then you run the risk of not being adequately prepared for the actual exam. Unfortunately, as we all know, USMLE can be rather nitpicky. So simply knowing a broader base of detailed facts can play in greatly to your advantage on the real exam.
I found "USMLE Step 2 Mock Exam" to present a very good variety of facts that were not as well covered in other sources (Kaplan, NMS, other minor sources). Thus, it added to my overall knowledge base in a complimentary way, which is exactly what I hoped for when I purchased the book.
I recommend this book as an additional resource while preparing for Step II. If you have the time, it can help to go through this book and your other resources more than one time each. I found that the questions I had seen more than once bought facts to my recall much faster during the exam. Many facts I learned in this book were directly applicable to helping me understand questions on the actual exam.

Summary: highly recommended!
Review: Break-up into timed sections, question length and content and subjects covered pretty closely matched my exam, which I took 2 weeks ago. Answers to questions explain why one answer is correct and why the others are wrong. Also gives helpful test-taking tips and advice. Highly recommend it!

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Exceelent questions and answers in the same format and style as the boards. I am SO happy I used this book before my boards, as I learned several important pointers and facts that were on my boards. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to do questions as a means of review and found this book better than the NMS question book (which is also helpful!).

Summary: 5 stars all the way!
Review: Great book with well-written questions and answers covering a wide range of topic and very similar to my boards. Easy to use and answers thoroughly explained. If you do well on these mock exams, you'll do well on the boards - take it from one who's been there...Highly recommend!

Summary: Very helpful question book
Review: Great book! Lots of questions very similar to those on the exam. I found myself thinking back to a lot of these questions as I was taking the exam. The explanations for the questions are concise yet helpful. I didn't have a chance to complete all the exams in the book but it was still very helpful.

Summary: Good study tool
Review: I begin by saying that there is no perfect practice set of questions for the USMLE Step 2 exam (not a single book that deserves 5 stars). This book highlighted several key points that actually came on my exam. However the format of the questions did not accurately represent the exam (but I have not found *any* set of questions that does). Good points: 1/3 of the questions have lots of lab values that you must sift through. In the actual exam you must be very comfortable with lab values. There are excellent quality images in the book. And the explantions are concise yet informative. Bad points: 2/3 of the questions are either "all are true EXCEPT" (which do not appear on the exam) or are quick recall (when the actual exam is more conceptual). All in all, I am glad I used this book and would recommend it as a study tool.

Summary: a MUST have book for step 2 review
Review: I cannot say enough good things about this book. Great coverage of a wide range of topics with questions that make sure you understand the concepts, as the boards do. Great explanations for the answers written in an easy-to-read format. Test questions broken up into blocks to help you simulate and practice the test format. Several of the questions have associated photos, 2 of which actually appeared on my exam!
