NO BRAINER for USMLE

Reviewed in the United States on 28 December 2010

Verified Purchase

Must have for the USMLE, great tool to study by as you progress through medical school. You will need a bit more if you are looking to do more than average, but this is a MUST for your foundation.
Amended: At this point if I were starting medical school over I would get the 2012 version, it is color pictures are integrated to the subjects, and it is better organized than prior editions. I would add my own notes as key info as I went through school, as it is laking a bit of detail. This would make it a priceless text.

This book need to be learned by heart for the exam. It is very complex and the information is very concentrated, but it all needs to be known.

Cornerstone of Step 1 Preparation

Reviewed in the United States on 7 February 2011

Verified Purchase

Everything is in list form without any detailed explanations. They assume you've already seen the content before, so I would recommend buying a copy as early as it comes out (~January) and start annotating it from your notes in class. You don't want to be cracking it open for the first time 5 weeks before you take step 1.

The only drawback is that it comes out in January. It would be nice if it came out the summer or fall before so you could start annotating it with class notes. Heck, it would be nice if it came out at the beginning of your first two years of med school, but I understand that would be impossible, since it would be 1.5 yr out of date. So, you could consider buying the most recent version early on and annotating it, and I doubt you'll miss that much (maybe a couple of questions). Then, you could simply update it from a friend's copy of the most recent version when it comes out. Having a well-annotated and personalized copy is going to help immensely.

CAN'T PREPARE FOR STEP 1 WITHOUT FIRST AID!

Reviewed in the United States on 17 February 2015

Verified Purchase

GOLD Standard for Step 1. Anyone taking it will confidently tell you that. People are not exaggerating when they say you really have to know EVERYTHING that is written in the book. Practically every line; you will realize that once you start doing practice questions and tests.

Disclaimer: although extremely high-yield, my gripe with this product is that it's more of a summary that teaching; keep that in mind; and with that in mind, note that you might have to supplement with another comprehensive book, or a subject-specific book if you are particularly weak in a subject. (BEST ADVICE: annotate uWorld and any other resource you use into here for things you don't know, or need more of an explanation on to understand the CONCEPT: make this your one go-to resource [rather than going back-and-forth between multiple resources].

Buy it, and know everything in it; you will be grateful when you take the actual test! :)

No updates?

As a current owner of First Aid 2010 (which was used as an accessory, alongside my basic sciences), I purchased the 2011 edition in order to stay up to date. However, this edition is virtualy one and the same as the 2010 edition, with the exception of the following:

- The text is in darker print, hence sharper on the eyes and more legible.
- A few of the dedicated NOTES pages have been collectively moved from the end of certain chapters to the very end of the book. As a result, some sections have fewer pages, or begin at different page numbers, as indicated by the index.

Other than that, it's still a great source for Step 1. Although this edition is cheaper than the 2010 (at the time of this writing at least), I suppose it's somewhat a releif that this edition remains unchanged. For the current 2010 edition owners, there's no update necessary, and nothing new to revise! I hope this offers some advice to anyone unsure as to whether they should update to this new edition. Thank you and God bless!
