The information in edition 2 and 3 are exactly the same, but edition 3 will give the alternate questions such as pick all that apply and such. If you can borrow a CD from edition 3 and either burn a copy or keep it until later, that would be good enough...believe me. Good luck!

Yes, I am. You can probably borrow one from someone that has the 3rd edition instead of wasting money. Believe me, the information is the same. I made the mistake to waste my money on the 3rd edition and should not have bothered. I gave my CDs to my friend who is currently studying for the boards. Good luck!
