I never even opened this book during 1st year, but I'm considering taking a day or two a few days before my test to go through these and HY neuroanatomy. If anyone has read the blue boxes before, did you find them helpful at all and what was the time input to get through it?

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I read most of Moore. I guess it kinda depends on what you used. If you used BRS, you're golden, and they should only take you a couple of days depending on the kind of time you put in.

HY neuro will take a little more time to ... digest. It's short and an easy read (can easily be read multiple times in a single day), but if you don't already have the associations in your head, you're gonna have a bad time. I did neuro the hard way...Najeeb + Draw it to know it and then Blumenfeld.
 
Thanks for the input. For anatomy, I haven't really done anything other than FA and UW (also had all of anatomy banked in gunnertraining for a couple months). Never really used BRS for it. I read HY neuro once to prep for shelf, so I'm expecting to just fly through it (mostly looking to get all the cross sections one last glance).
 
My M1 anatomy quizzes all had 1-2 questions from the Moore's blue boxes, so needless to say, I've read them all. They are very helpful, but I don't know how much more you will get out of them if you've already learned GT's anatomy section and done UWorld.

I quit GT ~7 or 8 months ago, but I'm glad to hear they'd overlap well. I suppose I'll stick to the plan and try to speed read them. Just trying to pick up whatever random anatomy q's I can

Thank you both
 
yes. i read them. very helpful clinicals.

i should add i had a friend tell me a question he got wrong on step 2 which i immediately knew the answer to just from vague recollection of one of those blue boxes.
