Editorial Review:

An awaited component to NMS review books, NMS Review for the USMLE Step 3 keeps the gold standard. The question-and-answer format correlates with the revised USMLE format. There are 600 multiple-choice items contained in four separate 150-question examinations, designed to cover important clinical encounter frames and physician tasks, and to consider each clinical setting found on the actual USMLE Step 3 exam: office-based, hospital-based, emergency department-based and satellite clinic-based. Answers are followed by detailed discussions. This thorough review and preparation book also features clinical encounter levels from USMLE Step 3, namely, the initial visit setting, continued care and emergency care.

Why bother?:

okay study book:

This question book is an okay review of subjects if you perfer a Q/A format way of learning. However, the question format and style of questions are not similar to the USMLE Step 3. There are few Negative questions (eg. all of the following except) in the USMLE Step 3 and at the most, there are 3 questions following a passage (In NMS, there can be up to 6-7 questions following a passage). I found the NMS review to be too detailed (like questions we see in Step 1 and 2- eg) indirect inguinal hernias are... more info

Great review book....:

I'll admit, I made a mistake. I decided to hold off taking Step 3 until two months before my pediatric residency was finished. Back then, it wasn't required to maintain your residency in this state. So you can imagine, after nearly 3 years of pediatric medicine, how far removed I was from a lot of adult medical issues. I used two books, this one and "Crush step 3." Both were definitely helpful, but I felt this one by far helped me the most. Sure the question formats are not exactly like the real test. But Q... more info
