Pharmacology Recall vs. BRS Pharm - the former has an easy to use and learn format, the latter has more detail. If you're using one or the other, which one?

I have BRS Pharm but haven't found it too helpful...I'm going to use the Katzung and Trevor Review of Pharm (which has 2 long, comprehensive pharm exams at the end). Maybe Lippincott's if I need more explanation on something.

I have the new Pharm Recall. Although I haven't spent much time with it yet, every time I have looked at it I find an error or a significant lack in detail.

Yeah, that's sort of my concern as well. Great format, horrible editing. And there are details you get out of BRS that you don't get out of recall...I love Lippencott - great Pharm book - but if I tried to memorize for boards out of there, it would take me another 4 years to get through medical school.

I heard pharm is quite abit and needs better review such as KAtzung board review.

Many seem to believe FA is enough. I don't know yet since I really have yet to begin the hard core review process. I do have RR Pharm and so far I like it.

The pharm in FA 2006 is pretty good, albeit a bit disorganized.
A 3rd year recommended USMLE Road Map: Pharm (Katzung/Trevor) to me and said it's all he needed for the Step 1. Seems like a pretty solid book so far.

You heard wrong
Katzung board review is a great book but won't get you any extra questions right, unless you have holes in conceptual understanding that FA isn't filling. It is useful as a supplement when you need to look something else (or you could use big katzung or even goodman&gilman) but reading it cover to cover is a huge waste of time.
