  - Very good!This book provides comprehensive preview for step 2 CK. Focuses on next step in management of commonly asked diseases. Uses paragraphs instead of bullets for easy, coherent reading. Rating: - Good bookI take Step 2CK in 2 days, so we'll see how well I do. That being said, I think this book is good. I read it cover to cover, reading just a few pages every day for about 5 weeks and taking notes along the way. I think it covered a lot of the basic stuff. I think the material is high-yield, so it's really important to understand everything in the book. Of course, it's not very thorough, but no review book really is. I used Lange's Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment to read about a lot of topics that I don't understand, or are less than adequately covered. Buy this book though, it's a good review. Rating:  - Not a good review book for STEP 2 CK!!!I bought this book thinking it would be a good review for step 2. IT IS NOT The book is perfect if you haven't looked over any materials for a while, and need a quick re-fresher on common (very high-yield) diseases. Management in the book is horrible. Good book for review while in rotations, but horrible for detailed step 2 CK. Rating: - less boring than others; holes in the story...Crush Step 2 is a nice read for being a medical board review book. It reads like someone is giving you an informal lecture rather than the alternative options which provide the loved by some, disliked by me bulleted format. The way I learn best is of course practice questions, however, sometimes reading books is necessary. That is where this comes into play. It is a great adjunct to qbanks, however, cannot be used as a primary source in and of itself. It misses a lot of information about certain topics that other books cover (I also have step up which is short but DENSE). Good students will know these missing bits of info so it wont be a big deal, but students who have a poor long term memory, go to a school with poor clinical education, or have taken some time off will be left wanting more. A great read for the above average student to reinforce the bread and butter of the boards. Not a good choice for the struggling, or out of practice student. Rating:  - Quick review for the CKThis book is not as comprehensive as the First Aid, but it is definitely a good way to quickly review high-yield topics. Some topics will need you to read them elsewhere though. |
