The ultimate resource for USMLE Step 1 preparation!

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A GREAT ONE
I usually dont like this format of books where everything is too dense and compressed but this book changed everything.
The book contains a huge amount of high yield facts many of which i had on my exam.
Very well organized with a great section in pharma' and pathology but kind of weak on physiology.
I read it a couple of times during the months before the exam and in the last week it was my only study source.
All together a great one ,a must have book for anyone taking the ... Read More
Rating: - thumbs up
Obviously some of the previous people who have written reviews about first aid are greatly misinformed as how to study for step 1. No one book will cover everything you need to know for the test, that should have learned this over a period of 2 years in medical school.
First Aid does not "claim" to cover it all, all it does is cover very high yield stuff that you really should be taking into the test IN ADDITION to more information.
Do not be fooled, FIRST AID is necessary. ... Read More
Rating: - USMLE First Aid STEP 1
For all foreign doctors, this book is a goal if you want to have short information and help to remind the correct answer in the test. All the Docs must have one.
Rating:  - Necessary, but by itself not sufficient
A must-have guide for Step 1 prep. But by itself, not sufficient to cover the nitty-gritty details found on The Test. Best used as starting point in January or February, then add BRS review series. Mix in Kaplan QBank along the way. Alternatively, instead of BRS, you may want to review your own class notes on pathophysiology (which I did, and found quite helpful, even though it's more time-consuming). And, be sure to keep up with current health events in the news (they show up on the boards)!
Rating:  - Forget about First Aid.
First Aid for Step 1 is like Netter's -- not very good and highly overrated. The book is a mess of random information that has no connection and no flow to it, and is therefore difficult, frustrating and low-yield. The only good part of the book are the images but these can be found online (WebPath) for free. I skimmed First Aid once, tossed it aside and spent all of my time with Step-Up which is a MUCH better book.
