Does anyone have any suggestions on how to study for this monster (and do well, or at least ok)? I would really appreciate any input, since I have heard numerous times that it is very different from anything I am used to from other basic science courses. Just for context, I am taking it as the final for our basic science pathology course in my second year. Thanks for any help!

When I took path 2nd year, we also took the shelf
as our final exam. The best preparation by far is
to do well and learn all you can during the path
course. After that, I used the grid book for path also known as the BRS book if you guys don't
use the same slang. In general these books are
the best for preparing for the shelf exams.

go and get Robbins Review of Pathology. it is 1100 questions and if you do them all, maybe you will not recognize 3-4 of the questions on the shelf. the people that write these are the same ones who write for the NBME.

Thank you both very much. I ordered the Robbins Review of Path, since no bookstores around here carry it and I have BRS, too. I am even more nervous about the exam now that I have taken my last normal path exam of the semester and can't seem to bring up my grade no matter how hard I study. I really appreciate your advice!
