Alternatives to BRS Biochemistry?

[dewgong]

I hear that BRS Biochem is riddled with mistakes and I was wondering what the next best option out there was. Any ideas?

Rapid Review Biochemistry by Goljan

Lippincott's Illustrated Biochemistry

Kaplan Biochemistry for Step 1 lecture notes

USMLE Road Map Biochemistry covered 90% of the in-class material at my school.

It doesn't do a great job at explaining everything. I supplemented it with Lippincotts Illustrated Review which explains well but also contains more than you need to know.

I liked Rapid Review.

I personally liked Lippincott's since it read more like a textbook but it might have too many words for some people to extract the HY stuff.

Rapid Review! Goljan the whole way!

Lippincott's or Rapid Review.

Lippincott's is good if you want something kind of like a textbook. Rapid Review is better for review and good if you like Goljan's style. Look at them both at a bookstore and see which one you like better.

Do people read Lippincotts? I just use the pictures. They're awesome.

If you're reviewing for step I, Deja Review is fantastic

I used BRS and didn't notice an excessive number of errors - thought it was good for the shelf. I also used FA and Pre-test
