Can someone who has already taken COMLEX step I answer my question. I plan to review Savarese for the OMT portion of COMLEX, how much time (hrs.) do I need to set aside to do this? Can I just know the trigger points ( the high yield citations in Savarese) and how to apply them or is it neccessary to know everything in there? Thanks

it's important to know most of Savarese, there will be a few questions about nomenclature, etc, but the BIG thing to know is Chapter 10-11, especially pages 102-104. Know those tables and be able to recite them there were more than 20 questions if not 40 that were based on this info in some way

Thanks,
Are their any questions on placement of patients during treatment, one of the proffesors at our school said they don't ask that on Step I?

what are the names of those chapters? Does not seem like my 2nd edition correlates to yours. Thanks!

Facilitation, Chapman's points and Trigger points.

And keep in mind that NONE of this stuff was on Step 2. Very upsetting. For Step 1, however, thats pretty much all the OMT that is worth studying. I think I spent maybe 5 hours during the two days prior to the test.

If I want to go with a Savarese text for OMM that could be used for class and board review should I get the

3rd. Or at least I've been told the 2nd has several errors and isn't nearly as good as the 3rd. Edit, when you say omm what do you mean? For test studying, or for review of actual omm techniques?

I got the 2nd edition since I did not realize there was such a huge difference until reading your posts. One more book to buy. Thanks!
