Can help you with your prepration along with the regular online Q Banks.Not a must have but definately usefull. Helped me a through Step 1
However, if you are studying in a subject based format, this would be a completely waste of your money. The bottom line with this book is that it contains one block of 50 questions per organ system. So if you are doing an organ systme approach to studying for the Board then this could be helpful. Furthemore the questions in this book are selected from the First Aid Rx question bank, which means why buy the book if the 1 month subscription for the question bank is worth the same. besides the question bank has much better explanations than the book- as they correlate with the current version of the First Aid Step i book.
The questions are well-written and thought provoking, but there are so many errors in the answers & explanations that I had to stop using it for my step 1 preparations-- I was simply spending too much time double checking answers that turned out to be incorrect.
while there is no substitute for usmleworld, i used this book earlier in my med school career. i thought they were more challenging than the kaplan book.
i like this Q and A book, has a lot of good information and explanation that you can use for the exam.
