Editorial Review:
Updated to include the latest medical findings and advances, this Second Edition of Crashing the Boards: A Friendly Study Guide for the USMLE Step 1 Exam, is a user-friendly guide to the most efficient study for the USMLE Step 1. Written as a collaborative effort by medical students who recently passed the Boards, the text focuses on the highest yield study material. Emphasis is placed on facts and concepts that carry the greatest weight in the exams; ones that students should focus their efforts on to earn the most points on the Boards. Material is presented in a direct, concise manner using a variety of mnemonics, tables, and diagrams to make study and memorization easier. Each major subject area provides general Coach's Tips to emphasize material that is on the exam and that is not. Important information is presented in easily digestible "nuggets," printed on a single-page spread to eliminate the distraction of page flipping. Key words and concepts are boldfaced for rapid review.

Rating:  - THE BEST
This book is the best! I began my summer studying the First Aid and I felt like it was an impossible task. I am not sure if this review applies to the USMLE Step 1 but I am writing to fellow podiatry students that will eventually take the national boards of podiatric medicine step 1. Most of my class spent their whole summer studying the First Aid and some of them did not pass. The First Aid really is just too much to read and remember. If one memorizes EVERYTHING in the Crashing the Boards book, ... Read More
Rating: - This Is The Only Book I needed!!!
I am a Podiatry Medical student in Cleveland and I just took part one of the boards last week. I passed. Hallelujah!! I didn't even need to do any extra testlets. I was pleasantly surprised, but nonetheless surprised because i only studied for 10 days and the only book i used was Crashing The Boards (and my own Lower Anatomy notes). All, and I mean all, of my other classmates used "USMLE First Aid". I began to worry that maybe i should have used First Aid also because it had a lot more ... Read More
Rating:  - Great small book to take along to study on the run!
You don't always want to take your whole library to your son's little league game! This is a compact book that packs a lot of information in it. I am really enjoying it for a review book.
Rating: - Better than First Aid
One of my study partners bought this book and it was the most popular book to use among our group of four. We all had First Aid but fought to use this book. There is a lot of basic informaiton in the book that is well presented in a way to remember, but there is also a lot of information that will help with specific questions on the boards. I think this book was one of the reasons I did much better than just passing.
Rating:  - Better Books are available but this one is helpful
First Aid for USMLE Step 1 is better but this book was useful in combination with 1st Aid. I also liked the questions from Lazo...NMS Review for the USMLE Step 1.
