Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - First Aid
An older edition of first aid but is beneficial for the reason, it is the last edition before the switch to systems based first aids. Useful for shelves or a quick review for particular classes. There are much newer editions for the actual Step 1



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Overrated but still worth buying
People often make the mistake of thinking that knowing this book forwards and backwards translates into a superior score. It probably doesn't. The pathology and physiology material in particular lacks both concepts and details that you will need for Step 1. Every edition of the book is laden with errors and should be used with caution.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - good enough
Good enough, but if you have already done kaplan and Goljan, you will find very little new things here. Still a fair review.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An excellent book for review AFTER studying everything else
This review would apply best to FMGs who have finished medical school rather than medical students who are taking their Step 1 at the end of their second year.
For the purposes of doing well on the USMLE step 1, this is a book that I would recommend reading only after one has studied the test material from other sources. In fact, this book contains a list of recommended review book for each particular subject which I also recommend following. I would not recommend using it as a primary source ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Better dont trust this book
I heard some people saying that they were helped studying from this book but trust me, according to now a days exams this book hardly helps. You can read this once but dont hope that this will help much. No need to buy new edition, its just waste of money. Can get old edition from amazon or ebay...... good luck.
