[Phloston]

Hi I read, the FAQ and the book list there is from 2005 so I was hoping we could get an updated one. So far, I have:

1. First Aid
2. Path: Rapid Review (Goljan) + BRS Path
3. Physio: BRS Path
4. Micro: Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple
5. Neuro: USMLE Roadmap to Neuroscience (Lange)
6. Ethics: Kaplan USMLE Medical Ethics
7. Pharm: ?? - Should I get PharmCards or Lange's Pharm Flash Cards?
8. Biochem: ??
9. Immuno: ??
10. Gross: ??
11. Behavioral: ??
12. Embryo: ??
13. Biostats: ??

Question Banks: (that I have)
1. Kaplan QBank
2. UWorld QBank
3. Robbin's Path Review

Can anyone please fill in the blanks? Thank you!
Also, how do I go about accessing NBME pratice exams? I just found out about them recently, as nobody told me about them before. Are they like the AMCAS practice exams they had for MCAT's? Thanks again.

Microcards, by Sanjiv, for micro.

BRS Behavioral for BS.

Practice questions for everything else.

In terms of NBMEs, if you search Google, you'll find them easily. Just go to the official website and create an account.

Neuro: High Yield Neuroanatomy is better
Pharm: the Lippincott cards are too numerous/detailed, Lange is quicker and better
Biochem: probably don't need anything but Rapid Review and BRS are great
Immunology, anatomy, biostats: probably don't need anything outside of first aid but High Yield Gross Anatomy is OK. High Yield Immuno sucks.
Behavioral Science/Embryology: the High Yield and BRS series are written by the same authors for both these subjects (Dudek, Fadem). BRS Behavioral is great and it covers biostats a bit. High Yield Embryo is also fantastic.

Again, this is only if you REALLY need reinforcement in an area. By no means should you try to read all of these books during dedicated Step 1 time.
