Hi! Thank you all for your help in recommending step 1 study books. I'm having trouble deciding between the awesome recommendations people have been kind enough to give.

for studying for step 1:
Which of the following (or something else) would you recommend:

1) pathophys for boards and wards
2) BRS Path
3) Robbin's Ques. Book

Thank you so much! 🙂

PS. Has anyone had experience w/ both BRS and pathophys for boards and wards?

all three are good in their own way.

BRS is a MUST for review
Robbins Qbook is VERY GOOD ofr questions if you wanna kill path on the Step 1
PBW has a great immuno summary and lots of other useful info if u like their foemat.


So get em and do them in that order BRS then Robbins then PBW

I read BRS several times then I went back and read it 1 chapter at a time followed by relavant q's from Robbins. Worked pretty well. Good luck!

Yeah, both BRS path (or RR path) and Robbins QBook are good and should be used together, since they are pretty much different types of resources altogether.

I used BRS Path + Robbins QBook extensively. The combination really made the Pathology/Pathophysiology/Histopathology questions on the Step I exam quite easy.

im a big fan of boards and wards, and i know i didnt score as well as big frank and others on this site but i feel it was money. i starting reading a couple of sections i was being hit heavy with after my 4th block and all the answers were there.

just my 2 cents
