I've got 12 more blocks of USMLEWorld to do to finish my one & only pass - have 4 study days left to do it. I also haven't read Crush or Secrets. Was contemplating reading through Secrets just to hit home some points.

Realistically, how long does it take to read the 330 pages?

It's either read secrets or redo the USMLEWorld qs I got wrong, debating how to spend the time. Thanks so much!

If you really booked it, you could probably do it in 2 days. I read a little each night while doing clerkships, so I took >1 week. I would definitely keep usmle world as your first priority. I like secrets, but I haven't read anything that I haven't run into in world. I didn't even realize there was a new edition- I'm reading the green covered 296 page 2nd edition. Is there a big difference in the new edition?

Thx for the thoughts. I just got what was at Barnes & Noble - I guess it's the 3rd ed (2010), 330 pages not including index? Don't know the difference between the editions though...

not much.. i liked the newer just cause it was smaller and literally can put it in your cargo pocket in you shorts while at the beach.

it took me 3 days to go through...but everything reminded me of world..does this guy write questions for world?

a while back i was looking for a book that i could carry around that complimented world-this book does just that... secrets is like the goljan audio....the sheeeat will get you points...

my girlfriend hates the book because i took it everywhere...i remember pulling it out at the grocery and she went nuts...😎

i'll get my score next week--will see.
