I used FA to study because I used it for step 1 so I was comfortable with the format.

A lot of people I know love Crush Step 2

Not too many people use Step Up from what I have heard.
 
Sorry to be naive, which FA did you use? For the Wards or for Step 2? Is it a catch-all book like it was for Step 1?

Thanks.

I used FA for Step 2. It was pretty catch-all. I mean there was a lot that was questioned in UW that wasn't in there but I thought it was a pretty good review and nice outline to annotate and review before my exams.
 
I thought step up to medicine and step up to step 2 where highly regarded?

Not where I go to school, but it may be more broadly.

Most people at my school used Step up to Medicine for IM shelf but found it too detailed, long and lacking other topics (surgery, peds, etc) to use for step 2.
