I would greatly appreciate any advice about resources that people here are planning to use to study pharmacology for the boards. I'm taking the step 1 in June, and have a fair number of pharm books, and I'd like to know which resources I should focus on.

I'm planning to use High Yield Pharmacology and Kaplan as my main sources with UCV for drug side effects/vignettes.

I also am using Lippincott's Pharm for my course exams, but am not sure if it is a suitable resource for board review.

Okay here's my list of (too many) pharm resources:
1. First Aid
2. High Yield Pharm
3. Kaplan
4. Underground clinical vignettes pharm

5. Lippincott's pharm
6. Katzung and trevor board review (i find that the questions in this book are more challenging than those in lippincotts, and would appreciate it if someone who took the boards could tell me what level of difficulty/detail the USMLE requires)
7.pharm cards (more for learning during the course, not for board review)

I'd appreciate any advice.

I really only used First Aid and it was exactly enough detail for the Step I. Note that I memorized this section in its entirety, however. But it was the best part of FA in my opinion. Good luck........
