We figured that most people despite doing questions in some commercially available question banks still fail to answer questions on the real exam when the same concept is asked in a different way or at a different level. They fail to understand the concept thoroughly because they are not tested and challenged in the step-wise analysis of these high-yield concepts. The unique feature of this question bank is that we present several questions in different styles based on each high-yield concept to enable you to master the concept  thoroughly – so, you will see questions here which almost appear similar to another question in our question bank but a significant change occurs due to a small deviation in the presentation or wording in the question . Therefore, Archer USMLE Step 3 Theory Review will prepare you to adequately face all the twists and tricks that USMLE might incorporate when they test you on a particular high-yield concept.

For example, compare Question of the week # 387 with Question of the Week # 388 . Similarly, compare Question of the Week # 377 with Question of the Week # 376 . These questions are twisted presenting the same topic to strengthen your conceptual understanding in a challenging way! Archer Question bank is the only Qbank in the market to present these concepts in a thorough and anlaytical fashion.
