Just for clarity regarding review books.....you want to get First Aid for the USMLE. FA for the COMLEX is strictly OMM, there is no biochem, etc. Also, I would highly recommend Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews: Biochemistry over the BRS Biochem book. The Lippincotts book is incredibly good and many profs have very good things to say about it. Regarding the BRS series, all of their books are very good, but I would go with Lippincotts for Biochem.
In regards to the boards...you HAVE to take the COMLEX, you don't have a choice. If you want to take the USMLE in addition, then that is your choice, but you have to take the COMLEX to graduate.
Good luck tomorrow with your first class!!!
In addition, I've had several tell me Rapid Review Biochem is really good, too. Of course, no need to pick both Lipp and RR, just another option.
