I like the case presentation because sometimes it is very hard to picture how would these metabolic diseases present in the clinic by memorizing all the symptoms and that's how the step 1 is going to describe that disease on the real thing. I think these cards are good supplements to First Aid if not a bit too detailed. Honestly I did not go through the entire set (still, I think USMLE World is the #1 resources to review biochem for the step.. I annotated everything I didn't understand from USMLE World into my first aid and I felt good/did very well on this section). I just looked up specific diseases when first aid's description really confused me (for example , all of those lipid metabolic diseases). I would recommend using these cards as a review/quiz tool that you use in your "down time" while preparing for USMLE. It will prob take a while to go through the whole thing so if you only have 5 weeks before the test don't waste your time trying to go through the whole deck but focus on specific diseases that come up from your practice questions that you don't feel 100% comfortable about.
If you have half of a year then this is a great deck to use with your study buddy to quiz each other and review details that everyone has forgotten from the first year.

Errors, but still helpful
It's frustrating to see so many errors on these. For example, arrows pointing the wrong way (card 58), and nucleoside chemical structures completely wrong (card 70). My other complaint is that there aren't nearly as many chemical structures as I'd like. I understand it's not practical to show all the structures, and a lot of people may not want to see them, but it's really helpful for me to be able to connect a name with a structure. In spite of their flaws, I still find these helpful.
