My school uses NBME shelf exams for finals in Gross Anatomy, Histo, Biochem. What are the best review books for these subjects?

There are alot of good review books out there. I personally liked HY Gross Anatomy, HY Embryology, BRS Histology, BRS Biochem, BRS Physiology, and HY Neuro. But different people in my class all swear by different review books (except BRS physiology, it's great) so my advice would be to look at them in the bookstore and see which you like best. You might want to look at First Aid too, it has some good reviews of different review books.

Just to give you a heads up, last year's NBME Shelf for Anatomy was incredibly not-all-that-difficult. I studied using an interactive atlas from UF and from some god awful clinical book (don't remember the name). Expect at least 3 radiographs on there too.

Biochem was a while ago so I don't really remember it except that my score sucked.
