NMS Review for the USMLE Step 3 (Book with CD-ROM)

Rating:
Summary: The best set of questions for the job
Review: As of 2004, if one wants to learn from practice questions than this is the best source. It also gauges the difficulty of exam questions correctly so one can use this to see if one is ready to pass.

Summary: It's enough
Review: Great!!!
I used this book as the sole source for step 3 (sometimes a little bit of Crush Step 3) and was more than enough. Use it if you as myself were exposed to peds, gyn, psych and other stuff some years ago. The book is most current and well written with good pictures but does not get 5 stars because the questions do not reflect the actual USMLE-MCQ style but it was not a major problem.
It is written in 5 practice test with total 750 questions that cover most of the topics tested in step 3; it is coming with a company CD ROM that to be honest I never used, has the same questions as in the book.
In summary a great buy and was really good for me. You do not need anything else.

Review: Griggsby Wright, MD says:

I used this book last year in 2003 to complete the final step of the USMLE. I found the passages to be of adequate length, however, I did think the questions from the NMS Step 2 book to be more similar to the actual Step 3 exam.

Summary: All you need
Review: I am an internal medicine resident at Memorial Medical Center in Savannah, Georgia and our program is very busy. I have very time to read but Dr. Rosner, whom I work with in the past, gave me a copy of his book to review prior to taking Step 3. I went over the questions and awnsers over two weeks and passed the test easily. It is very complete, easy to read, and the format is very similar in nature to the test itself. The book is very much like the man himself, perfect.

Summary: Great book for USMLE 3
Review: I bought this book and took the exam. The proof is in the outcome- I did great. The book is well written and covers all of the topics well. The questions are not impossibly hard and seem to mimic the exam format well--in fact, some of the questions were similar to the ones on the actual exam. I would HIGHLY recommend this book. I think it is far more useful than the Crush step 3 book.

Summary: Be alert
Review: I have been using this book and I have to warn you that there is a problem with the CD it generates questions randomley and does not take in consideration Cluster questions and the cluster gets scrambeled and you will not be able to answer some questions propperly which will affect your ability to answer, if you can overcome this issue you will have a very good experience with this book. I have done well on the test.

Summary: NMS STEP 3 REVIEW
Review: I liked this review book very much- the questions were well written and the answers thorough. I have tried the Kaplan, Crush Step 3 and think this review book is the best. The questions are reasonable and cover all areas. I would highly recommend it.

Summary: THE BEST OF ALL
Review: I used this book and CRUSH step 3 and found that the NMS review was far superior. The proof is in the outcome and I passed the exam with >90 percentile. Some of the material in this book is nearly identical to that seen on the exam. The answers are up to date, thorough and educational (even for internship in general). I highly recommend.
