Kaplan Home Study Review Book vs. Kaplan USMLE Step 1 Lecture Notes.

Are these the same thing or do the two sets of notes contain different material?

they have the same content but arranged and combined differently. The Lecture Notes is divided by subject eg Path, BS, Micro etc the Home Study are divided up by Systems. Also the Lecture notes were designed to be used with the Kaplan videos but the Home Study were designed as a stand alone.

one thing is for sure, someone who bought the review books, he planned to read them from first page to last, but he wasn't able to, the books just have too many information in it.

and even if you spend days reading them till the end, I doubt that you will be able to remember everything u read.

Personally i have been using Lecture Notes + Videos as a supplement since 1st year, I am half way through 2nd year now. They have been of tremendous help so I will suggest that combo and yeh they have a lot of info in them as someone mentioned above but you can cover all the material in a month or a little less.
