4.0 out of 5 stars Not a complete review, but definitely worth a read.
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2019

I own the previous of version of this book and there have been some major updates including more details, pictures and an improved CCS section. However, no book, either this one or MTB will suffice for a complete review for step 3. Since step 3 is a volatile exam and can contain pretty much anything from steps 1-3, FA3 will not be enough even if it is paired with a solid qbank. My major gripe with this book just like its predecessor is that entire book is poorly organized by, which I mean for example if you are reading about Asthma and you near the end of that section and think you are done reading about that topic and now you start reading about COPD, you would be wrong because right after starting the COPD section a chart for managing chronic asthma would appear. This poor organization is repeated constantly throughout the entire book. So if the reader does not read the title of the chart or graph carefully they may associate it with the topic they are currently reading, but instead it correlates with the previous one. I know it seems like nitpicking, but it is not that difficult to add any pertinent charts, etc, to the end of the topic before starting a new one. I was really hoping the authors would have corrected this format for the new version, but unfortunately they have not. The book is still a solid read and worth buying, but not a complete review.

3.0 out of 5 stars FA Step 2 CK is a more complete resource
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2021
Verified Purchase
If you wanted a thinner book with less information than the Step 2CK book, you should get this one.

Maybe you're already a master and only need FA for minor references. Honestly, it would be easier to add extra information to the FA Step 2 CK book because it's got the topics that UWorld and AMBOSS cover. The Step 3 book is just the FA Step 2 CK with LESS information. I really feel that the authors might have just copied and pasted the Step 2 CK book and deleted a few pages of information. Step 3 should be the "ultimate complete" book for the Steps because Step 3 is a mix of all the previous exams, plus patient followup.

The media could not be loaded.
 This is a hardcopy quality review. The color print is of the poorest quality. You can see the paper as white lines or white grids behind the colors.
The color in flowcharts is barely there. If you have bought a first aid textbook before, you'll notice the difference immediately.
