Has anyone used BRS flashcards for micro and pharm and what do you think about them?

I have been using them and they seem to hit the main points and not go into any more detail than necessary.

Has anyone had success with those (best if you have taken the boards already)?

These were the two sets of flash cards that I used when reviewing. Do they cover every drug/bug that came up on the boards? No, but probably did for 90% of them. Their beauty was that after reviewing them I could go through the whole 7 inch stack in less than an hour. This allowed a lot of repetition and repetition is key.

Thanks pinkertinkle. Did you use anything else for pharm and micro or were the BRS flashcards your only source?

Yes I did. Flash cards are not adequate for the depth of knowledge required to do well.

I primarily used the Kaplan notes with video lectures for Pharm and Micro. In addition Lippincott's Pharm and Clinical MMRS were used a little for reference. And whatevers in First Aid of course.
