Step I Editions - Curse or luck?

[Jix5]

I've discovered my home library containing virtually any book I can think of for Step 1 (Pre-test, BRS, FA, NMS, Lange, HY, even Kaplan lectures)... A family member took the Step 1 in 1995/1996 hence all the books are from about then... I think u are starting to see my problem- Do I need to buy the newest editions? I definitely got FA'09 but for everything else??? Please advise.😕😕😕

Get new editions.

I've referenced between the edition a bit and they seem at least 85-90% the same word by word. Is it really worth it to get new ones??😱

Stuff like pharm, molec bio, even some micro definitely has changed a lot since 96. I'd invest in some new literature.

Quick example: Ever hear of Gleevec? I sure as hell know those books haven't. Other examples abound, but that's the one I came up with off the top of my head. Buy new books.

Just imagine how annoying it would be every time your outdated sources didn't match with FA. Your confidence in these sources will definitely be shaken and then you'll end up getting new sources anyways. Save yourself the frustration and get new editions.
