I'm studying from goljan, FA, step up and I get q's wrong that 70% of people get right. What the hell! What do you guys use? I have kaplan also but haven't used it for neuro yet.

What's the consensus on Kaplan's Neuroscience section (of the Anatomy book)? [7 book set]

Is it "enough" for Step 1?

FA is enough for neuro. Just supplement it with the stuff you get wrong in uworld, and you're good. HY neuro is too damn much. you'll lose too much time if you try to memorize all the wacky lesions from HY neuro.

This section is MORE than enough. If you have time, I would highly recommend going through either this book or HY neuroanatomy because neuro (especially neuroanatomy) is a high yield subject and can dominate your exam. I had several questions where I had to identify a structure on a cross-sectional MRI etc.

The key to securing a high score is covering all your bases...and this is definitely a major topic that you need to be comfortable with.

Good Luck

I would not recommend this, as far as i know neuro is heavily tested on step-1 and it can also be a source of some easy points if you have a decent foundation. I much rather gamble on micro than neuro if you are hardpressed for time...i like to hear some opinions on micro.
