Step Up to A terrific Step 1 Review Book

Terrific review book. It's in the body systems format and does a good job of integrating material, with the possible exception of pharm. Very useful for Step 1 study.

A MUST HAVE!

for a first edition, this book does have some errors but it is by far the best thing out there right now ... excellent diagrams, great figures, and phenomenal systems-based approach to the boards ...a must buy for the individual who wants to do well on the boards!!!!

Second year Medical Student

This is an excellent USMLE review book. The authors use a lot of easy to understand diagrams with outline format text. This book is exclusivly high-yeild information. Important points are 'punched out' and written in the margins and there are large, easy to study tables for pharmacology and microbiology. I would recomend this book to anyone who needs a short, easy to follow review for the USMLE I.

EXCELLENT

If you are a medical student and are taking the USMLE step 1 this is an essential weapon. In the short time that I have owned this book I have used it as a high yield Review for my medical school exams (I'm in 2nd year) and it has given me exactly what I needed for each subject. The book is *body systems based* just like the questions on the USMLE (unlike the First Aid which is also excellent but has the drawback of being subject based). I cannot emphazise enough how well this book condenses essential physiological and pathological information to the bare minimum and yet it's so complete that it can supplement both your regular studies and your usmle review. Of course, it will not be the only book to use for your boards but it will be one of the most important. If you're a medical student BUY IT, you will kick yourself for not doing it sooner.
