Anybody tried MKSAP for Step 3? Any idea?
 
Never used MKSAP, Heard it helps but is not needed unless you already have a MKSAP series. Things are heard people swear bye for reading sources is; Premier review, Archer, and/or Master the Boards. I also heard that the "New" Step 3 Kaplan notes are very decent but again, never used them. Hopes this helps. 😎
 
MKSAP has about 100+ questions per subspecialty and is intended for preparation for IM boards so I think it would take a lot of time and not be as high yield. I think MKSAP for students or Harrisons question book would be much cheaper and better for this purpose if you want an IM book for step 3.

If you are a student going into IM,however, it's a great time to buy MKSAP because the 15th edition is coming out now and there is a student discount as well as an ACP member discount (you can become a member for free as a student) that makes a difference in cost.
 
bump....was wondering if anyone has any thoughts about using MKSAP 16 in addition to UW for step 3? Is it worth doing those questions if i have access to MKSAP 16?
