Hello Praveen, Please see some of the step 2 books organized by categories at this page. I tried to rate and comment the ones I red for step 2. Feel free to do the same. As for best books for step 2 there are many discussions here in the forum. My favorite are crush the boards, first aid and ucv as review books. Blueprint for ob/gyn and pediatrics are quite comprehensive. As for mcq books nms and mock exam are better than the pretest series.
i m also starting step 2 these days.simple and all time strategy today is to go through kaplan series with q bank,q book and may b mock mcqs. i don't think now there is any time for more books.

hello , i'm also studying kaplan lecture notes these days. what i want to ask is are they enough to ace the exam? some people recommend crush the board and blueprint. Should i study them as well.
