Pharm Help

[srswim]

Hi Everyone. I'm now just a little under 3 months from my step 1 exam, and have come to the realization that our school's pharm curriculum is extremely deficient. As of yet, I haven't found any sources to use that can help me learn what we need to know about the drugs we need to know.
Can anyone give me any ideas?
Thanks!

I really like Pharm Cards from Lange.

Another good resource is the Katzung review book from Lange. Not his tomb.

If you are a flash cards person then go with above, else Pharm Recall is great. If you want a more comprehensive or want to relearn pharm all over again kaplan pharm lecture notes is what you need

How do you know it's deficient? I thought our curriculum was until I did pharm UW questions and was scoring in the 80's for high yield stuff like autonomics, antibacterials, anticancers etc.... I'm hoping that means I'll be sitting alright. I also have 3 months or so before my exam

My school's pharm is also deficient, we never have time designated in our curriculum for it to be taught. There is always even now a drug or two i dont recognize in questions I do. I did kaplan videos which I thought was great for going through it one step at a time and covering each drug and family well. I was going to use the book but I ended up just making my own notes, I'm probably just going to now stick with FA/Pharm recall, questions and my notes.

Our program is more than a little deficient. I'm basically terrified, because as I've started to attempt qbank questions, I haven't even seen/ heard of at least 90% of the drugs, much less their associated clinical uses and side effects. It sounds like I'm going to need something more in depth, like kaplan, but is there a way to get just the pharm notes or video without purchasing the entire expensive package?

The Kaplan videos can be obtained in a similar fashion to other popular audio/visual media supplements used for Step I studying.
