easy to read. good review book

I love the outline format and how it really hits all the topics you need to know. It definitely doesn’t go into much detail, but the way it is written allows for plenty of space to make notes, and also to quiz yourself while going through the book. I say everyone should definitely read it the week before their exam.

This book is an awesome starting place. Studying for boards can be daunting and this is like a super concise outline to work off of. It doesn't have everything you'll need but it's a great place to begin and then build off of. A lot of other board books have too much detail for quick review and can bog you down if your just trying to make sure you've covered all your bases. I wish it was a little more compact though (combining more tables on to one page with less overall pages) though. An e-book would also be great!

This book is so amazingPlease do not intend to study from your step 1 with this bookThis is only to refresh concepts, have a great tips. Recommend 1 month before your exam.

Extremely upset there is no color on any of the pictures. The only color is on the covers. There is a lot of pictures, all the USMLE books are in color. Very disappointed. Probably would not have purchased it if I had known it was all black and white.

Good as a refresher and testing tool.
