Dear vanessa: Im also dealing with your same problem.. everytime I go through the lectures and I trully feel that I understand them, but when it get to answer the questions from kanplan or exammaster (wich are harder), all the knowledge I have gathered so far doesn't seem it is enough... by the way the sources Im studying from are kaplan videos and lectures.. and ssrpk is right dr Daugherty is fantastic, but sill........ best regards

I can recommend 'High-yield Biostatistics' by Glaser, 2004, 104p. just enough info. First Aid 2004 also recommends it as the best biostatistics resource.

Thanks p53 I prepared it for step 2 as well but only 3 Q so is it worth it to study 100 pages for 2 or 3 Q or in step 1?

remember! no one knows how many questions will you get on your real exam about biostatistics or any other subject. Yes, it may be 3 Qs, but if it is 30 Qs, what are you going to do then? Also, as I know, Biostatistics & epidemiology aren't so heavily tested for step 2 CK as they are for step 1. 100 pages are not too much for biostatistics. As I already said it's just enough info. Actually, I have read this book in one day and it was worth this one day of my life. If you are afraid of heavy maths, calculations, equations and formulas, you will not find any of them in this book (maybe just 1 or 2, for example, about standard deviation).
