More than 1,000 board-style questions build confidence, knowledge, and test-taking skills for the USMLE Step 2 CK and the pediatrics shelf exam "I really like the format of the questions. I believe they are quite an accurate representation of the questions that appear on the boards" -- Joshua Lynch, DO Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Class of 2008
"I thought the questions were well worded. The conciseness [of the answer explanations] is one of the benefits of this book." -- Lisa A. Nowell, MD, Pediatric Resident, PGY-2, Morgan Stanley Childrens Hospital of New York Presbyterian, Columbia University
