Customer Reviews

an excellent high-yield source

I "met" Dr. Sakala when he gave his OB lectures on Kaplan course. When I learned that he also wrote the book, I was sure it will be a wonderful source of information. I was right - this book is a precise and perfectly written (with many tables, pics) high-yield facts that covered everything I needed in OB for my step 2CK. After each chapter he put several scenarios with several qs to each. In addition, at the end there is a wonderful chapter with "the most common" things asked at the boards. I would highly recommend the book to everyone who is planning to take step 2 CK and 3.

A MUST TO PASS THIS PART IN THE STEP 2CK

If you want to pass OB/GYN in the Step 2CK. You need this book; explain everything so simple and clear better than First Aid. I used and pass with 220.

Great book for the USMLE step 2

I would highly recommend this book to other med students who are preparing for the USMLE step 2. Really great

Excellent Book for NBME Shelf Exam

This book is great for the NBME Shelf exam. I am a 3rd year medical student who recently took the test and this book hit most (if not all) of the topics covered by the exam. It also presents the topics in table form to point out slight differences in clinical presentation that will help you make the diagnosis. There is also an appendix that lists answers to "what is the most common...." which is helpful for the shelf exam and answering attendings questions while on rotations. This book also has some very helpful diagrams, particularly pertaining to twin placentation. I would highly recommend this book to other med students.

Very good, yet concise.

This is a very good review book. I was pleasently surprised to find answers to questions the CREOG uses in their quizzes. In my opinion, this book is very complete, yet very concise. It is a great source of high yield facts for exams. In fact, it has an appendix which is precisely a table of frequently asked questions and their answers. I suggest anyone looking for a good review book, not a primary source of info mind you, to buy this book.
