STEP 1. 1 book.

[ddiaz4]

Hey guys! I know I can use the search function (and I have) but I cant find a specific answer to my question.

I will only be taking the comlex and I am looking for 1 book that has it all. I do not want to be studying 9 different sources. Basically, the COMLEX 1 study book equivalent to exam krackers for the MCAT.

I want an AVERAGE score. Whats the minimum that will get me there.

FA USMLE + Savarese + COMBANK?

A score of 400 is passing, while 500 is the national average. You'll pass (considering you have a decent background knowledge and have done well your first two years) with FA + Savarese + Combank, but you may not receive an average score.

FYI: FA + Savarese = 2 books.

Thanks for the response bud. Yea I realize thats two books... I meant 1 book to study the biochem/anat/phys/path etc...

hmm yea I was hoping for a 500+ score. You dont think I could get that with FA USMLE and COMBANK?

I just want to sit down with one book learn that book and do well. I hate having to look through and manage studying with several different books. But its looking like that isnt possibe lol.

I'm just messing with you, man. I didn't mean to be a jerk. My strategy isn't necessarily to study out of only one book, but I'll end up doing almost that simply because I will annotate various sources into that one book (that one book will be First Aid). I will also use RR Path and Costanzo Physiology. If that's the score you want, I think it's possible, but I guess it depends on your knowledge base. You could probably get a 500 with FA, Savarese and COMBANK. I haven't taken the test yet, though, and I'm studying right now as well, so take my advice with a grain of salt. If other people answer you and they have already taken the test, listen to them, of course.

You gotta learn to do that......sooner or later. Now will be the best time to start.
