Ummm... yeah... condense a bit...

First Aid + Q-Bank (Quesstions and Explanations) + BRS Path

Memorize any tables from these sources and you should be good to go.
 
i'd have to agree also. condensing and really focusing on a few resources as opposed to going over your list may pay off more. i think i'd knock out the pretest, since Qbook and Qbank seem to have more representative questions. but that's just my opinion.
 
general: first aid
physiology: BRS
patho: BRS+ robbins MCQ
micro: levi is too much, rapid review is good
pharm: FA is enough if you need more go w board & wards or road map by katzung
anatomy( gross +histo+ embryo):HY
behavioral sciences: BRS (good questions)
biochem: first aid + HY molecular


you seem like you want to do really well...I think the previous posters hit the nail on the head as far as having too many sources. It can actually work against you. Start with the most high yield subjects and move on down. (Path> micro>phys>pharm> everything else)

Wow, that is a crazy list. Way, way, way too much. Try one general book (First Aid), QBank, and one subject book per subject -- but only for subjects that are very important (ex. path, phys) or that you are weak in. Too many books will not help you, it will probably only drive you crazy.

As to what is better, there's no hard and fast answer. Look over examples of HY and BRS at the store, and see which you prefer. I personally like BRS path and phys, as well as Clinical Micro Made Ridiculously Simple.
