I finally got the 3rd edition of BRS PATH and the only thing I can say is Wow! Having gone through the 2nd edition, I can definately say without a doubt that the 3rd edition is way superior: Cleaner tables, better highlighting of important/key facts, more laboratory findings, updated findings to certain diseases, more diseases and a smoother flow to the chapters. The questions in the 3rd edition are now in USMLE based (No more at least, except, etc).

The only downfall that I wished they'd address in the 3rd edition is the the lack of path pictures.

Anyway, I recommend the 3rd edition, huge improvement 👍 👍 👍

Hi, would you mind to elaborate more on it? I am taking the exam in another 3 weeks time, should I get this new edition or stick to my 2nd edition?

It's about 95% the same content, 5% additional content.

Stick with your old 2nd edition with annotations. That's the best way to go.

I took a look at the 3rd edition, and i actually like it less than the 2nd. For one, the text is smaller, and everything seems very scrunched together - like, there's less space between headings, etc. Also, the margins are tiny - there's no room for notes at all! Their occasional charts are better (nicer formatting - but same info), but for me, this doesn't make up for the space and font issues. I'm sticking with the second ed.

What's up with the new edition being something like 30 pages longer. That's quite a bit for a high yield book like BRS---what did they add?
