Members don't see this ad.

I need advice on what books to use? I already have the First Aid, so what other resources should i use? what are some other book, program/videos that worked for people. Basically i need a plan of attack to study for this test.

Best books for step 1?

Thnx in advance!

My books:
First Aid
High Yield Behavioral Science (super low yield except for the tables that have what to say back to patients who ask weird questions or do weird things, you'll know them when you see them)
High Yield Histology
High Yield Embryology
High Yield Gross Anatomy
BRS Neuroanatomy
BRS Biochemistry (VERY helpful)
BRS Physiology
Lange Review of Microbiology and Immunology - immuno section only
Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple (so clutch for a topic i didn't remember much about)
Rapid Review Pathology (this was pretty good, but I had 2nd edition and there are several pretty significant mistakes in it -- i'm sure you can find a list of them on the internet somewhere)
Lippincott Illustrated Pharm (skimmed sections i felt weak on, too big to read all of it)
