Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Kaplan Q bank+ this book =all you need to pass and do well
I think the key to studying for the Step 1 is to restrict your studying materials. It's better to know everything in one book (THIS BOOK) than some of 5-6 books. So many questions from my USMLE came straight from this book that if you studied this and memorized every syllable, you will pass and pass well! Just supplement this with the Q bank to get yourself into question mode and you will be just fine.

This was pretty much all I used and I made a 225/94.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - the king of kings
you need this book starting from your first year of medical school, through wehn you take your step 1. use this book by its guidelines and you will be rewarded. pick it up, open it and read the first feww pages and follow what advice they give as a beginning medical student.also make sure you pick up the latest version.I used this book through my 2 years in college and i made 229/95 on my step 1.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Great book for review

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Step 1
No magic, just study, I did it with KAPLAN, and the last week before the exam I just read this.
Helpfull.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good for more than just the boards
First Aid has helped me in tests throughout the year. I actually wish I had had it last year, so that when the time comes to study for the boards, I'd be extremely familiar with the book. That said, the book is systems based, and the curriculum at my school is subject-based, so I'm considering getting an older edition of the First Aid for the biochemistry, anatomy, embryology, and histology sections. The mnemonics are great, and since I'm a visual learner, I really like the diagrams and pictures, ... Read More
