Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The ONE
Review: I thought the explanations very good and helped me prepare for the USMLE's. I recommend this series as a comprehensive way to review for the exams.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best companion for step 1 prep
Review: I used Board simulator on a regular basis, to check my preparation for the step 1. I helped me get 95 without a sweat. I gives a realistic picture of where you stand. If your are at the 70% mark, you are sure to get in the 90s in the Usmle. I shows your weaker areas both subjectwise and topicwise, so it is better than the paperback edition. Overall the most important material for step 1 preparation.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE USEFUL FOR YOU
Review: The quality of question is superior and explanations very accurate.But coming out of USMLE exam one wonders if there could have been better way to spend your time.First Aid rated this book as an 'A'when it came out but later downgraded it to 'B'.The style is definitely very different from USMLE. The clinical vignette questions in step1 are straight forward classic presentations of disease which are not very hard to recognize specially if you have paid attention to them when readng the review books and Underground clinical Vignette series.Some of these disease patterns are frequently tested.This book does nothing to reinforce them. Instead it presents some scenarios recquiring clilnical judgement near step2 level. The non vignette question are also very difficult.Its hard to answer them after studying review books that are enough for step1.So how is the book useful?
it chooses the right content even if the difficulty level is high. if you have the TIME to read the explanations it is useful.you dont need to learn everything in the explanations.just the points that look most important.after solving these questions you feel more confident and the vast number of questions help strengthen your basics. I started with 50% and but i went on to get a very good score.may be doing 1 or 2 tests from each book is enough.
