Tough question, I studied mostly from blueprints last year and I got a score of 88. If I would take step 2 again I would not use blueprints for internal medicine. If it helps you can check some ratings for USMLE Step 2 CK Books in our resources section. Also you can read some exam experiences on this forum and see what other books have been used. Regards!

hello, i am also preparing for step 2. and i would suggest that u do kaplan only.i have blueprints for surgery and ob gyn and when i compare those to kaplan i think kaplan is much better , covers all important topics and quicker and easier to review.my bro who studied from bluepritns said that it is not sufficient.plus while i was goin thru ob gyn blueprints it is to detailed describing signs and symptoms and etiologies it looked like a textbook.and i think fro step 2 u need book that is quick to review.what ever book u pick just do it from one source eitherr kaplan or blueprints if u pick both u will be confused. most of the people recommend kaplan and crush the boards. good luck.
