Step 1 Advice
Wed, 09/24/2008 - 1:29am — jblackhallThe following is posted on behalf of Marissa Le c/o 2010 concerning prep for the USMLE Step 1:
This link is to an online guide book by med
students for med students- it has practically all the advice you'd want
for Step1- check out the table of contents, it has advice about which
books/sources, and subjects are highest yield for studying. Also check
out "what's available" for sample tests that will give you an accurate
assessment of what you would score- and what subjects you are weakest
on, and when to take these assessments. Check it out- or at least save
this to look at later.http://www.gotmedbooks.com/insidepages_guide.php?num=0
...also
Kaplan Q-bank and USMLEworld are both good. I had both, Kaplan seemed
more nit-picky than the real test, and world is cheaper. ... also you
don't really need it until you are really studying for the boards- so
you can save by just buying it for 30 or 60 days.
Thanks Marissa!

Pharmacology added to Palm Notes - Release 3
Sun, 03/02/2008 - 10:41pm — tpjv86bPharmacology has now been added to Palm Notes, using some Kaplan flashcards as a base, then adding a few drugs along the way. This definitely makes reviewing so much more convenient!
Now Palm Notes cover Pathology, Pathophysiology, Microbiology, Psychopathology, Statistics, and Pharmacology. The major gaps: It does not really cover the sections before the organ systems in Path, and goes over the immunologic diseases in First Aid fashion. Read More »
