I know everyone loves Rapid review for path and I admit its a nice book from what I've read of it. But if you only have 5-6 days to prep for the shelf I am thinking BRS path is a good option.

Of course its not as detailed as RR and it doesn't integrate like RR but it also doesn't take weeks to go through (on your first read). Amazon reviews for BRS are also fairly good so I'm thinking BRS Path is good enough for shelf but if you would like to disagree or weigh in please do so, thanks.

I read RR throughout the year but used BRS Path to study for the shelf because RR was too long and didnt want to burn out on RR before using it for Step 1 studying. I did well on the exam so BRS Path worked out for me. I did all the questions in the book - most are easy after reading the chapter so it's quick and ~200 UW Path questions.

Good luck
