95% of Step 2 consists of clinical vignettes, and this exciting new review series presents a wealth of "guaranteed to be on the exam" clinical vignettes for Step 2 preparation to give the reader a clear-cut advantage. It is unique among case-based series in giving greater focus to high-yield information. The cases and accompanying images faithfully replicate the format of the case encounters presented in Step 2, and key points and important Step 2 "buzzwords" are highlighted for each case. The approach is simple and focused without leaving out any important information. Plus, the format gives readers the opportunity to guess the answer to the case before it is revealed and to postulate on which tests to order, what therapy to give and what to "watch out for" in the condition presented.Concise vignettes, following the current vignette-based format of Step 2Buzzwords highlighted for each case"Interactive" format allows reader to guess answers, and then answers are revealed and explainedWritten by the author of Crush The Boards and USMLE Step 2 Secrets
Not a stand-alone review, but a great review of high-yield OB/GYN. Good figures and photos. Helped me get the classic presentations down pat before my exam. Definitely did better on my exam because of it.
5 stars all the way!

I loved using cases to review for my step 2 exam because I was burnt out on reading straight text and tired of doing multiple choice questions. The format is simple - read through a case presentation (CC, HPI, PMH, PE, Labs) and guess the condition and how to treat it. The back of the page gives you the answer, which I liked better than the "Underground Vignettes" series, because you can't see the answer until you turn the page. The explanations are easy to understand, thorough and high-yield. A great tool for step 2 review.
