Summary: Read this book . . pass the test.
Review: This book, much better than the Step II tome from the same series, is written in outline form by people who reportedly took and smoked the test. I believe it. I really think EVERY item in the book was on the test, and those items that are set in bold-face type, frequently represented 3,4, or even 5 questions. Some of these key points were not even to be FOUND in most other study-guides, let alone emphasized. The content is organized into bite-sized chunks, then is reviewable before the test even more rapidly. There is a CD included with lots of questions; be careful, though! The answers on the CD (at least in my edition) were not always accurate, although the answers to the (much fewer) questions in the book were. If you are at all comfortable with multipl-guess questions, and you have practiced medicine in the US anytime recently, this book, memorized, may be all you need. (If you want more, add Swanson) Re-reading this again and again will help you more than filling your head with a bunch of esoteric stuff that may help your real-world patients, but is unlikely to be found in the more typical patients about whom you will be tested in the Boards.

Summary: Good book
Review: This is a comprehensive review book, and has most facts you need to pass the Step III. However, the facts are written in an as-a-matter-of-fact manner with many other things you don't need. This means you need to know what facts you are looking for to find them. I recommend it for revision after having gone through sample questions, and known what to expect.

Summary: Mosby USMLE step 3 review
Review: this is a good book and very well written for the step 2 USMLE. I rank it 5 STAR for the step 2. but it is insufficent for the step three. it can be use as a source for the fast refreeshment of your memory but not for preparation to sit for the step 3.
