It is definitely a "review" book so look elsewhere if you still need to cover significant gaps in knowledge. If you have an average/decent foundation of knowledge and are looking for a comprehensive REVIEW of important associations and testing tips, this is the book for you. If you rely on "mnemonics," key details and commonly shared associations to learn such as what you get with First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 2015 , you may not like this book as well as others. If you like to rely on "pattern recognition," understanding mechanisms, and "analysis of associations among raw data" to learn you will likely prefer this book over others. If you like to learn information in sequence, from start to finish, this book may seem like it skips things and "jumps around from topic to topic," so you may not like it. I suspect this is where some of the negative reviews come from. It's an excellent book if it meets the needs of your learning preference. This book reminds me of the infamous Goiljan Kaplan Lectures and Goljan's Rapid Review Pathology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access, 4e . If the way information was presented in those resonated with your learning style, this book is closer to those in the way information is presented. Good luck! Review: Pretty good book. Better than most Step 2 CK books out there. - I'm quite baffled about the bad reviews here. Maybe it's because I'm an IMG (though American) and I know it's useless to try and learn every thing in medicine for one exam. Dr. Fischer, while being a bit annoying during his video lectures truly nails the important details in this book. Yeah, not much of an improvement over the 2nd edition, but it really does appeal much better to the eye as well as provide a few new bits of information. I'm using this book while also reading step up to step 2 and USMLE step 2 secrets as well as crush the boards though crush the boards and step 2 secrets are basically the same book. Dr. Fischer writes clearly, concisely and straight to the point. He takes some of the most difficult concepts and breaks it down in a way that you'll stupid for never understanding it in the first place I'd personally recommend this to every thing. The only gripe I have is the length of the book though I shouldn't care because it only means there's more information in the book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,824,117 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #985 in Medical Test Preparation #2,611 in Medical Test Preparation & Review #3,459 in Professional Test Guides (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (421) | | Dimensions | 8.38 x 1 x 10.88 inches | | Edition | Third | | ISBN-10 | 162523113X | | ISBN-13 | 978-1625231130 | | Item Weight | 7.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 672 pages | | Publication date | June 2, 2015 | | Publisher | Kaplan Publishing | ## Images ![Master the Boards USMLE Step 2 CK - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81+5hXx1F3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great review book that focuses on key association and test strategy *by I***6 on October 21, 2015* Like any other book, whether you like it or not will depend on your learning style.

Conrad has done a great job of putting a lot of hard information into simple form. This also goes well with the Kaplan if you are taking that test prep course. Conrad is the best in this book. The book is very good with many tips on how to think and how to exclude wrong answers. Very straight forward compared to other step 2 prep. I used it after I read First Aid step 2 ck. Both are good but I prefer this one because it is more exam oriented. This book is very logical in its thinking, has lots of tips for guidance on steps needed to be taken. It also helped me do well on my exam as well. I bought this book and also used uworld to practice. I do feel like there is a lot missing still on which I had to go to first aid to supplement. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/15049047-master-the-boards-usmle-step-2-ck](https://www.desertcart.in/products/15049047-master-the-boards-usmle-step-2-ck) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-23*
