I do suggest decks to revise ,3 hrs for each subject ,just scan to know if u know it all,if u need to memorise them,then u r in trouble.
Decks are good enough to pass but not to get 87 plus.
Gpa does matter ,but i know ppl with 2 plus gpa gettin in with a high score on nbde 1 and 2.
toefl if u get 100 u are kool.

hi red,

thanks a lot for your quick reply. I am also buying the Ackland dvds, and usmle lecture notes. I only had time to read decks and kaplan stuff once and I went through released exam 2000, 2005. The released exam is beneficial but starting what year? 1978?
I am grateful for your great help.

 

[Doc17]

Thanks dear....i ll look for DVDs on ebay.....i try to follow ur guide to achieve my score.....

Micro i would def recomend usmle tapes and lecture notes
immunology for basics first 6 chapters of Roitt or Abbas are good
Pathology even though usmle tapes are vast Dr.John barrot makes it so interesting ,i scored 89 in path/micro from this only
As ques are pretty much straight here.
Path pneumonia is a fav,as hep in viruses.
look at old q banks for repeats u r pretty much done.
Good LUck

 

[c8758]

hi everyone

thanxs fr reply......actually I dont have these books which you have mentioned so is kaplan usmle is sufficient for that?
and yeah, so you prefer that usmle pathology book we should read or just see the video and read from the nbde kaplan review book.....What is better?
and you have mentioned in yr earlier posts about lippincott , what are the important chapters from that book?

 

[bleach]

Can you guys make one thing clear ? Other than getting enrolled in kaplan usmle courses, how would one obtain the KAPLAN video tapes and lecture notes ? I did some search and it seems these 2 items are not available for online purchases. On amazon, there is only a path lecture book sold. Can any of you confirm this in fo ? thanks

 

[BigSmiles]

hi red,
wanted to ask if we need to go into so much detail w/ usmle notes transcription/translation and genetics section. please let me know.
Is there anything in usmle that is redundant and dental students dont need to study? or everything is imp?

thanks

VID tapes are only to understand ,the usmle lecture notes are enough.
i never did nbde kaplan.
Lippencort do COLLAGEN and basics of carb,fats ,protein and enzymes.
as usmle lecture notes does not deal with them.

 

[nosebleed]

if u have achland dvds it takes 4 hrs to do upper limb,if not try Brs Anat
TMJ do pkeson first 6 chapters,its worth it as 25 ques comes from it srt up.u stll have a month.revise for 3 hrs,do decks 2 hrs q bank 2 hrs.
u still can put in 2 hrs for something new.
Good Luck

The DA section is pretty much ok in decks,but keep ur wheelers ready .
Going thro Okeson first 6 chapters is also highly recommended
If u are starting fresh,thats a lil cool to srt with.
Decks are good enough to pass along with the Q banks
Good Luck
