Truthfully, I don't think it matters which review text you use as long as you use it consistently. In other words, the antiquated truism about "the best text is the one you will read" holds true for Step 2 just approaching it did for what book you used on rotations and what books you used for the Step 1.
My personal preference was the Step Up series--I've used them for every step and they seem to lay things out well--but I wouldn't say aloud they're intrinsically better. I did like First Aid, which I also had, for some things like ID and microbiology. I also recommend studying by doing lots of question, rather than just by going through the review books--that way you obtain used to the style of questions they're going to ask.
Just study consistently and make sure you review the basics and you'll be fine. Good luck on the theory test! Source(s): Pediatric neurology resident.
