I don't want to go overboard with a dozen or more review books unless they will really be necessary. I've scoured a dozen "book list" and suggestion threads here and have a pretty good feel for where people think FA is enough and when supplementation is needed, but to be honest it's a bit hard to put together the whole story when you see recommendations in different contexts and you don't really know what the score goal is.
So how about a simple recommendation list, with the assumption being that one really wants to nail the USMLE. Let's say a 250 (since anything higher definitely has diminishing returns for the residency applicant).
In what areas is FA adequate to the point of pretty much not missing a question due to just that area? And if you don't think it is completely adequate in that area, what is your supplemental book of choice?
