Editorial Review:
The purpose of FIRST AID FOR THE MATCH is to help medical students effectively and efficiently navigate the often complex residency application process. It is designed to help students make the most of their limited time, money, and energy. In the spirit of FIRST AID FOR THE USMLE STEP 1, this book is a student-to-student guide that draws on the advice and experiences of medical students who have successfully gone through the Match and are now training in the programs of their choice.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - just ok
This book is very short and has outdated information about the match process previous to the current ERAS system. The specialty overviews are also short with graphs showing the pay scales from 10 years ago. There are other books much more helpful in deciding your specialty and coaching you through the application and interview process.
Rating: - This First Aid series fizzles out at match time
The First Aid books are a pretty good series (Step 1, Step 2, Wards) until you get to this book. It is noticeably thinner than the others, and there is a reason. Too little information. There are some good points, such as the Program Evaluation Worksheets and analysis on trends in the match process on each specialty. However, I would suggest Iserson's instead of or in addition to this book.
Rating: - Which book should you get to help you match successfully?
I am about two months away from starting my internship and I'd like to offer those who are about to start the residency application process some advice. At my medical school, I am a member of a committee that provides guidance to students through the match process. Other members of the committee include residency program directors, interns/residents, deans, and clerkship directors. Our mission is to help students match successfully. Here are the books we reviewed:

Rating:  - great condition and great price
This book is in real good condition and surprisingly low price.
Rating:  - Not so Hot
I really liked the First Aids for USMLE 1 and USMLE 2 and found this book a much weaker cousin and very expensive for the content. There's nothing here that you can't get from JAMA or your Dean's office. The Iserson's Getting Into a Residency gives you a lot more info for about the same price. There's almost nothing to help out the IMG (who I suspect are frequent buyers) and (again) nothing for anyone with special circumstances, such as older age, second careers, disability, couples match, gay ...
