does anyone know when the new first aid 2011 will come out? a lot of stores like borders dont seem to have it yet saying the release date is in january, but apparently it's available on half.com and mcgraw hill. anyone know when we can acutally purchase it? thanks!
 
I think you can buy it already. The Book Depository has it for 33.75 with free shipping. Unless you're wanting to buy the book at a local store, I think most online websites will sell it right away. Amazon's page does say that it may take 1-2 days for "processing".
 
Its not released yet. If you check Amazon, you will see that the release date is: January 10, 2011. Hopefully that date is accurate and its not delayed much later.

Thanks for the heads up dangit--I also just ordered from amazon and was told that it'll be here by the 23rd. If only amazon also sold something to dull the pain of studying for this thing...
 
sorry this might be a stupid question but the 23rd of January? i was hoping to look it over over break..

From my order confirmation:

[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]Delivery estimate: December 23, 2010 [/SIZE].
[FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1]1[/SIZE]. [FONT=verdana,arial,helvetica][SIZE=-1] "First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 2011 (First Aid USMLE)"
Tao Le; Paperback; $34.83[/SIZE].
I was also under the impression that it wouldn't be available until January and was surprised to see that this is legit. FYI, I used the (free) student amazon prime thingy to get 2 day shipping.

I ordered it last week and just got an email this evening saying the release date had been changed and my book would be shipped sooner. It was originally estimated to be delivered on Jan 12th and now it's estimated to be here on Dec 22nd. Just in time for Christmas! haha 🙄

no prob! 👍

hey, i'm not sure what works for you, but for me, doing questions helps. I def recommend either GT or Flash Facts to get thru FA. I think Flash Facts might be better since there's only 6 months to the exam (assuming you're taking it in june). It'll definitely help you get thru FA faster than just reading it. reading FA is soooo dull and boring. Flash Facts helps. I've been FF for the last 3 days and I have to say, that i have gotten so much more out of FA thru FF than just reading FA alone. It's only $105 for 6 months. I wish i wasn't so cheap and just gotten a year long subscription back in August. o well. also, if you don't like it, you can get a refund in 5 days. fyi 🙂
