On Amazon it shows that there is a new edition of Hall scheduled to come out at the end of the month. I'm assuming this will contain a whole new set of questions, but want to know for sure before I order it - anyone know?

This new edition has been listed on Amazon since I was a CA1, 3 years ago. I wouldn't bank on it seeing the light of day anytime soon.

The book has been done since September, but the publisher has not yet put the book out yet. Hall thought sometime in late Jan vs February. I know this because I asked him last week when working together.

Did you take a look at it or ask him how much of it is new? I really dont want to buy another book especially now since this is my last year. But I always have a tendency to have the 'new' stuff....will it be worth it?

Speaking of new editions, is there ever going to be an updated edition of Faust? 2001 is kind of old now...

yeah I saw that online description - except the curret book also 997 questions. So either the description is recycled from the prior edition or this edition is just a reprint of whats already available ..

New questions. No K type questions. There is some talk about his questions going online (i.e - set up similar to USMLEworld, Kaplan, etc), but this isn't going to happen for some time if it does.

I think it's more than just "questions about going online".

The book is sold with ExpertConsult online access. When you buy the book, you get a code to all content online. That may not be equal to a true question bank setup like USMLEWorld, but as far as I can tell the questions will be online.
