This revised edition in the popular Recall Series is an excellent preparation tool for both the Clinical Knowledge (CK) and Clinical Skills (CS) parts of the USMLE Step 2. The book presents patient cases followed by rapid-fire USMLE-style questions. Questions appear in the left-hand column and answers appear in the right-hand column. Coverage encompasses all clinical areas tested on the USMLE Step 2. Cases and questions teach pattern recognition for diseases tested in the CK's multiple-choice questions and the CS's live patient presentations. This edition includes a new chapter on ethics and statistics as well as an expanded cardiology chapter.

After using "Surgical Recall" for my surgery clerkship, I jumped at the chance to buy "USMLE Step 2 Recall" during these last few weeks before sitting for the Step 2 exam. I am really enjoying this book. One advantage that this format has is that you are presented with a clinical presentation that you must recognize. Questions and answers for 5-25 questions dealing with that clinical presentation are then covered. I think this is great because identifying the disease process in Step 1 and Step 2 questions is often the easy part, while being able to answer the many questions that may deal with that clinical entity is the tough part. This book presents more than 200 of the clinical scenarios that you know will be on the exam and then covers a bunch of potential questions for each scenario. I feel that this is an approach that covers a lot of ground in a very short time. After only a few days drilling myself with this book I'm feeling much more confident about taking the exam. It's kind of like the high yield section in the back of "First Aid" on steroids. The entire book can be comfortably gone through in one week and then repeated as necessary. My only knock on the book is it's cost, although when it comes to doing well on Step 2, the cost may well be worth it. I will edit this review after I sit for the exam. Well I sat for the exam and have received my scores. This book ended up being very helpful. Although it shouldn't be all one uses to prepare for the exam, I feel that this book helped me very much. I highly recommend it! In addition to this book I used the Kaplan QBook (the big one with 850 question, second edition) and also did about 400 Kaplan QBank questions on the web. I also used the high-yield section at the back of First Aid for step 2.

This book is an okay resource if used as a supplement for step 2 studying. It's not as well written as Surgery Recall but still hits the main topics nicely. The biggest downfall is the price.

i was expecting the quality of surgical recall..this book didnt deliver...replete with typos to boot.

I received it fast. I liked it so far. Cooool. I recommend it to anyone who is looking for such a thing in good price.I received it fast
