I'm about to start studying for Step, and I have FA14. Is it worth picking up FA15, instead? Thanks!
It all depends on how much you know and what score you want. I started out with -14 and switched later to -15 because I though there were some important additions. I don´t think you will see any major score increases but I´d say that it´s a simple way to increase your score a few points.I'm about to start studying for Step, and I have FA14.

Anyone know where the FA 2015 errata are located?
sloop "I don't know. I can't imagine it's worth it. If this thread winds up with a resounding "Get the 2015 version" I might purchase it said:Visit your local BN and check the 2015 out, then make a decision on buying. I also have 2014 with numerous uworld notes, but I still ended up getting the 2015 for newer drugs/tx, pictures, and better tables/explanations and I'm glad I did. So I use both when reviewing side by side.
Ya definitely start with the new one if you haven't even started.I'm set to start studying on Tuesday, but I could have a copy delivered by tomorrow.
any examples of new drugs that the 2014 doesn't have?
Imo FA15 made significant enough changes (and additions) to get it.
such as? i just looked over the first 2 chapters and there are about 1 page of different stuff from the 2014 version
Ive been through both books and trust me when I say that theres at lot new factoids added (probably not in the first two chapters for obvious reasons). Also remember that the new stuff added is probably a lot more HY than from any other source. Knowing that I really cant understand why one would try to save a couple of $$ and risk a lower score on an exam that at least partially decide ones future.such as? i just looked over the first 2 chapters and there are about 1 page of different stuff from the 2014 version
