Looking for the end all, be all "you are guaranteed to >99%" book for the neuro shelf. The popular books (Blueprints, Casefiles) seem to be pretty ****ty.

There really isn't for any clerkship. For Neuro I used Case Files, PreTest, UWorld, and FA for Step 1, only had 2 weeks, and got an 87. One of my friends only used BluePrints over the same time period and got a 92. FWIW - I'm pretty much sitting at < 50%tile rank-wise in my class at a no name state school, and failed part of my Neuro block first year. You just have to find a resource that clicks with your learning style, and know your test taking strategy.

Everyone's different, but there are some pretty grade A resources for most clerkships (SUTM for IM, Devirgilio for surgery, BRS for peds, etc). If you know any of those back to front, I think it'll guarantee honors. Neuro, however, is somewhat unique in that all the popular resources kind of suck "/

Blueprints was solid. It is one of the shorter ones in the series and covers everything you might need to know.

I did UWx2, pretest, and skimmed BP at the end for things I missed with the other two resources and got 92nd percentile.

Maybe too foundational, but Kandel's Principles of Neural Science is canon.

Use Blueprints. That's the book. I'm just not a fan of it and I used UWorld, PreTest, and this 80 page outline I found online . Google Tuttle neurology study guide if you're interested

Hey bro, how do you get all that done in so little time?

Doesn't seem like I did anything that different from you. I skimmed Blueprints for stuff I didn't get from UW or pretest.
