I used a lot of USMLE stuff and it helped a lot. Score was upper 90's. The BRS path isn't enough, but BRS physio was really good and I used the BRS anatomy a little. I think that the BRS physio was probably the most usefull out of them all.

I didn't use Kaplan NBDE book, but instead used USMLE lecture notes for step one( Pathology, Physiology, Anatomy, Microbiology, Biochemsitry lecture notes)

Plus these books:
1-BRS ( Board Review Series) Microbiology and Immunology.
2-NMS ( National Medical Series for Independent Study) Biochemsitry.
3- Little Brown Book: biochmesitry.
4-Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion by Jeffrey P. P. Okeson: I borrowed this one from UMN library. it is the best for occlusion Q's in the exam.

As you have observed, my weakness is biochem .

Well, good luck.

1.) First Aid for USMLE step one was an amazing review for path, phys, biochem. They made a first aid for NBDE part one which I would highly recommend. Full of mnemonics and concise summaries.
2.) Kaplan Book for Dental Anatomy and occlusion
3.) Ridiculously Simple for Microbiology
4.) BRS (Board Review Series) for Gross Anatomy and Physiology
5.) Diggin up the bones for Biochemistry
6.) Dental Decks are great when you are taking a break from hardcore studying. These are enough if you want to pass, but use alternate sources if you wish to score higher.
Good luck everyone.
