How to review anatomy?

Hey Guys

I looked through the different posts and some say HY anatomy and some say just stick with First Aid. I read some of the Kaplan book for anatomy but it doesnt go into too much detail. The Kaplan Qbank questions are quite detail oriented and I just dont remember the material as well as I did when i took the class. Any good source of studying for anatomy?

Thanks 🙂

A pretty popular opinion around here is that Qbank is detail-oriented/nit-picky in general.

As for the best anatomy review source, your guess is as good as mine. Some say FA is enough, some say HY, etc. Who knows.

I'd just pick one and go with it. Personally, I'm going with FA, clinical correlations in BRS, and whatever I can retain from Qbank.

is Kaplan's anatomy book good to review? Any opinions on that?

FA doesnt have quite enough info. I used HY in addition and felt like it covered everything that i needed to know. In fact I mostly focused on the bolded items in that book.

Agree with above. Besides HY Anatomy and First Aid, I also used Kaplan (though I probably spent too much time on the webprep online lectures). by the way, the kaplan anatomy book covers gross anatomy, embryo, histo, and neuroanatomy.

I've been watching the Kaplan anatomy lectures and they are pretty long...do you think it's worth the time to watch the neuro section?
thanks!

I studied Kaplan for non-neuro Gross and it was ok. I never looked at HY Gross, so I can't make a good comparison. But I will say this: Gross is the most unbelievably low-yield thing you can possibly study for the boards. The day I put in studying Kaplan amounted for a total of 1 question correct on the real deal. All of the rest of the non-neuro anatomy questions I remembered from 1st year.

Neuro is a different story. I read HY neuro twice right before the exam, and if I had it to do over I would've read it twice more.

Embryo is a wildcard. I hit HY embryo pretty hard, but I'd have to say in retrospect that FA would've been enough if you memorize it word for word.

Hope that helps,
