Only Firecracker for Anatomy?

For those of you who used Firecracker and took the exam, was Firecracker Anatomy enough?
I haven't used anything besides what's in First Aid and UW for Anatomy, so I was wondering if I flagged the anatomy topics under Anatomy (the subject) as well as all the system based anatomy topics as well (like Cardio, GI anatomy, etc). It comes out to around 2,000 cards which I can work into my schedule. If someone else has used Firecracker to study Anatomy & Embryology for Step 1, please help! I haven't yet found a good Anatomy resource, and it's my worst subject.
Thanks!

there's a book out there, Snell review of anatomy. if you augment it with netter atlas I guess it will work. at least I'm planing the same.

I just bought FC, but where did you get the 2000 card number from? w/in each system the cards are max 5 each.

I'm new to Firecracker so perhaps I'm not using it correctly, but under "Basic Sciences" I clicked on "Anatomy" and a lot of topics came up, and I flagged all of their sub-topics. Plus, under "Organ Systems", I clicked on each topic under it and flagged only the sub-topics that had to do with Anatomy or Embryo (for example, if you click on Cardiology under Organ Systems, then the first sub-topic you see is Anatomy), then at the very top of the page where the header is, it says how many questions there are - which are close to 2,000.

I think it's 300 something. with a lot of end chapter questions, though not board style but still helps you in learning anatomy.

Firecracker anatomy is good, but there is alot of low yield stuff on there. I would just focus on the big picture stuff there like muscles, innervation, etc

Know all the anatomy in uworld and Fa very very well

I bought usmle anatomy road map and read through it. The only thing on it that I found helpful were the ct pictures and the disorders it discussed
