Step 3 is important for IMG's if they want H1. And most programs do not send interviews unless they passed step 3 for H1. So, coming to the books, Kaplan's material is good. You need to practice the CCS with some friends and try to play with the software they give as sample cases. Other books - Swanson's is also good. Other materials as follows Textbooks
