In the products and discounts section of this forum, it was advertised that Adam Brochert will be publishing the 3rd edition of his USMLE Step 2 Secrets. Does anyone know the possible date of release? I'm trying to decide whether to buy that book now, or wait until the new one comes out.

Cheers.

I emailed the publishing company and they said the new edition is not set to be published until May 2009.

Hey guyz,

I just checked amazon and they have the third edition. Is there a newer version? I'm about to order it so I would like to know.

Thank you,

Does anyone recommend FA over Secrets, or vice versa?

I didn't use Secrets, although I flipped through it and Crush.

I preferred FA. It is longer, so if you read slowly or have limited time, Secrets may be better. People have done very well on this exam with either. I think most of that is due to working hard during 3rd year and using USMLEWorld - the books aren't that important.

i bought it based on many reccamendations--the book stinks. quick blurbs that we all know--or they dont teach anything. like reading one of those "recall" books.

do not buy it
