Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Overall review book
This is a great book for overall review. I'd recommend buying it at the start of 1st year or the very latest the start of second year and use it as a review tool for exams. Make notes in the margins on things you think are important and aren't included. By making notes in the margins it will become the only book you'll need to study from because if you know everything in this book you are guarenteed to pass the boards.
If you like system-based approach, Step-Up is a great supplement, ... Read More
Rating: - Key source for step 1
Definitely the key source for step 1 preparation but as the authors say: it should not be the only source of preparation.
Molecular biology and genetics should have a separate section in the review section as they are heavily tested in the actual exam. Otherwise very good and concise presentation of high yield facts. Do not forget to practice questions which are most similar to the real thing in NMS or on Kaplan website.
Careful with rating of book recommendation.

This is so funny I bought a copy of the FA book 2003 and looking at it and comparing it to the 2002 version I saw that almost all of the mistakes where being corrected and stuff like that...
I had the 2002 version, which was fraught with little mistakes here and there...
Yeah like I said there were many mistakes on the 2002 version; in the different subject areas.
At least the ones that I had come across while attempting to read it really made me mad...
Now the question is: ... Read More
Rating:  - Great book
I found this book highly useful for the usmle step 1. It summarized the topics in a reader friendly format. It helped me to study for the test without carrying so many textbooks around with me. I also recommend the following which is sold on amazon:
Spinal Anatomy Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers
ISBN: 0971999600
Microbiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers ISBN: 0971999635
The last 2 study guides showed me the kind of topics that were asked on portions ... Read More
Rating: - A must, along with BRS Pathology and QBank
I wouldn't recommend reading this book 6 times cover to cover as the guy below me did, but it's definitely a must for Step I. Good images, great high yield info, wonderful index, great buzz-word association section, and helpful reviews of other medical texts at the end. You're making a big mistake if you don't pick this one up... if you have the time (and the lack of social life) to read this book cover to cover 6 times, more power to you... if you get through it once, more power to you. A must!
