This was my first time shipping international, and I was afraid the items might be delayed for long. I was very happy. The book is an excellent practice guide for the USMLE exam. However, the items arrived earlier than Amazon had estimated. Thank you. I loved it instantly. Also, Amazon service impressed me a lot.
Furthermore, FA is diligent about publishing a list of errata on their website. If you memorize First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 comprehensively, you WILL ace step 1. It does contain errors, but many are obvious and few are misleading.
But then again, that is why you use this book with another text. I think that is so that you can draw the pictures yourself with just a pen, but sometimes it makes it harder to understand. The downside for me is that there is no color.
GOOD IDEA. This is awesome. I got this book at the beginning of my first year so I could get familiar with the format as well as the extent of material on the USMLE 1.
I first read the ratings in this book and then went to Amazon for more reviews. Definitely get this book from the start (especially if you are in problem based learning). This book will not supplement your text or lecture, but it is really nice to dig out what are the most important concepts I need to understand.
The book also offers very helpful ratings for study review books.
Get it early, use it often. 1st year medical student.this book is real nice for reviewing the important concepts when you get slammed with 300+ pages of detailed notes every 2 weeks.
description of other helpful titles to help you do well on the USMLE.If you are a med student, allopathic or osteopathic, GET THIS BOOK. Also, in the back is a great rating/ranking of other study resources based on system. It gives a fair (and very accurate). This is the best intro review book for your first board exams. You won't be sorry. I highly recommend getting this early during your training, and using it in conjuction with your course notes. Le has a great, succinct review of the material that has great mnemonics. It is very helpful for review for exams, as professors are in touch with current board questions to set you up for success.
