- Not as good as Step 1 First Aid
I think the style in general of Step 2 makes it more difficult to use a book in this format.I was EXTREMELY pleased with Step 1 first aid, so stuck with the series.This offers a decent outline to start out with, but leaves a little to be desired when it comes to more specifics required in CK.I would recommend it as an additional resource, but not the primary or sole study tool for step 2 ck.

- Not as good as First Aid for Step 1
I wrote a review for First Aid for Step 1 and gave it 5 stars because it was awesome.I felt like I was given all the answers to Step 1 and all I had to do was study them.
This book, on the other hand, just isn't as good.The discussion of diseases is more superficial in FA for step 2 than in step 1.It is missing several large chunks of material from pediatrics and ob/gyn.Also, I found very little information needed to answer the hardest questions which usually ask "what is the ...

- I thought it was really helpful for a high speed cram review!
Some of the other reviews seems to be old... this is for the 6th edition.
I'm lucky enough to go to a med school that lets me take Step 2 all the way until the end of March.So of course I find myself cramming my review into two weeks at the end of March.I agree with some of the other reviews... this book is not as concise and right on the money as FA for Step I, but I think that would be really hard to achieve given the broad scope of this test.I think having some extraneous info ...

Rating: - Also good for AMC MCQ review
First let me say I've sat and passed the AMC MCQ exam. It was a very tough and not to mention a very expensive exam. I've also sat and passed the USMLE 1&2 and the MRCP(UK) part 1 exam. Sorry if I sounded conceited (it was only intended to emphasize the reliability of my review).
There is very limited review resources for the AMC MCQ and the recommended review material by the AMC is the AMCQ (annotated multiple choice questions) which barely helped me. I read the USMLE 2 Mock exam by Brochert ... Read More
