So i just saw people on FB say that the FA 2017 is released. My exam is December end and i am kinda freaking out... Is there a pdf which kinda enlists the changes as compared to 2016 ?
I saw this in the IMG FB USMLE group... If there is anyone in my position and wants to do a collaboration to try and find the list of difference please please do send me a PM or comment below. I have been scoring 260s in NBMEs but am not sure if this new update will impact my chances ?

The new update says that it has like 100 new images and illustrations. Also those who took part in the proofing stage said that there are like 10 new topics PER CHAPTER !! wth, man ! Kinda freaking out..


 
It's available for pre-order. I believe you can't actually get it until January.

If you're scoring 260s on NBMEs, the few new details in the new book are not going to change things drastically.
 
I agree with the other folks. It's great that you have 260s in NMBE now. I doubt that it will affect your score. Of course, it would be better to incorporate the changes in your studying before taking the exam. But if you are set on taking it in Dec then go for it.
