Good books for Step II CS or COMLEX PE?

[ketafol]

Does anyone have any recommendations? I have the First Aid book, but was wondering what everyone else is using? I saw a few on amazon that may be good, has anyone ever heard of these?

comlex PE

1. flip through the green savarese book (the one that says OMT on the cover) - just go over basic modalities of treatment/diagnosis (myofascial, some muscle energy, chapman's, spencer tx, etc.) --> 3-4 hours tops

2. read the first few chapters of the first aid book, no need to learn the whole thing --> 2-3 hours max.

3. relax

i know both of you are very smart, given your posts/interviews/etc. in the gas forums. this exam will be REALLY easy for the two of you for sure. i will give a huge disclaimer by saying i have not got my grade yet, but if i fail, i will quit medical school. 95% of people pass.

also, as an aside, i know both you two are DOs - any need to take USMLE step II-CS? i don't think we have any need to take it, right?

I have zero plans of taking the USMLE CS. Thanks for the help Mista...just got your email too...that dude is speaking out of his ass because his mouth knows better. If the discussion continues I will add my 2 cents.
