Summary: NMS Review for USMLE Step 2
Review: This book is the closest simulation to the actual Step 2 board questions that I have yet reviewed. The length of questions and level of difficulty were commisserate with the exam material. The CD-ROM companion is helpful in practicing questions and becoming comfortable using the computer to do so. I still recommend an additional book, such as Prescription for the Boards, for systematic review of subject areas, with utilization of NMS for test questions.Combined, these make a very complete home review.

Summary: Not very up to date
Review: This has many review questions for step 2 but there are many that are not representative of the type of questions on the actual exam. Some questions are way too specific and not clinically based. If one is looking for a book with a lot of practice questions it does have that to offer but many of them are not helpful in preparation for the exam.

Summary: obscure detail
Review: Very good book. Many questions on the exam were very similar if not the same, there are only so many ways you can rewrite a question. This book covered pretty much everything and brought certain things to your attention that you might have skimmed over. If you are able to pass the exams in this book you will do fine on step 2. Good buy, especially for the price. Good Luck.
