Pathology question book recommendation?

I know the Robin's Pathology Review Book is good but it might be too difficult for me at this point.

So, I am trying to decide between the following books.

Pathology: Review for USMLE, Step 1, ed. 2 by Louis MD DePalma (Paperback - May 13, 2007)

or

Appleton & lange's review of pathology, 2002

Which one should I get?
Any other book suggestion?

RR path has over 400 q's

I took a look of those RR path questions. They are pretty good but StudentConsult doesn't organize them by organ systems.

Get Rapid Review, don't waste your time with anything else.

I already have that book but I want some questions to reinforce my learning. I think I am going to use webpath + BRS as a question source.

If you want questions Webpath and Robbins Review Question Book are the best. Don't bother with BRS path.

You might check out Lippincott's review of Pathology, which is the "Rubin" equivalent of Robbin's Review.

The questions are easier and faster than Robbin's review, but still provide a pretty good overview of each system, as well as good pictures.

Dragonwell,

Thanks for the recommendation. That book looks great! 👍

Has everyone abandoned BRS Path? I actually really liked it, and it served me well! Oh well - make way for the new king?

Don't waste your time with the A&L path. I have it. Use BRS Path if you are not ready to tackle Robbins or WebPath. BRS Path has end of chapter questions, at least the version I have.

Sooner or later you are going to have to suck it up.
