Best USMLE Review

Reviewed in Canada on 14 February 2013

Verified Purchase

This is a must have book for studying for the USMLE Step 1. Most of the information (not all) that you need to know is somewhere in this book. Don't mistaken this book for a replacement for learning your basic sciences for the first time, this is a REVIEW book. There are little to no explanations for anything. It should be used to jog your memory from what you spent so hard learning before. It's quick and simple to get through and lots of mnemonics which you may or may not have heard before. This book should be supplemented with other books in areas where you feel you need help in. It's an amazing book as long as you use it properly. As far as I can tell right now, they have removed some information from the 2012 edition but they fixed everything that was in the 2012 errata. Buy this book, it's amazing!

Very useful. No wasted words, a nice concise book.

Best used as a revision tool, it doesn't have enough detail to be a primary learning source. But for revision when you already know the concepts - fantastic.

Physical Great Resource Kindle Edition: major loading issue

Reviewed in the United States on 25 December 2012

Verified Purchase

After my many issues with the Kindle edition and the lack of response and support from the publisher, I ended up buying the physical copy and it was an amazing decision. As others have mentioned, many of the errors from 2012 have been removed and some of the terms have been changed to more recent nomenclature (compare orotic aciduria in the two texts). I have also been using Kaplan to study and the material is very cohesive with the online Kaplan material. The only problem - and not a problem with this book - is that Kaplan has not updated page number references to reflect the newer edition.

This is a review for the kindle edition of the book. Not for the printed edition.

First the positives for the book:
The pages and layout of the book beautiful and it looks like the paperback version. With the iPad retina display, the text is very clear even when zoomed in and easy on the eyes. The images also reproduce very well compared to ebook format texts. Additionally, you can take nice notes, bookmark pages, and highlight the text. The entire set of notes, highlights, and bookmarks show up in the margin when needed and it provides a nice summary that syncs between devices.

Now the major, major, issue:
However, there is one significant issue, which in part might be due to the high quality of the text. The pages in the book take forever to load. For example, if I go to page 63 and flip all the way to 70, pages 71 and onwards take about 1 to 2 minutes to load and then the same problem occurs every 5-10 pages. This does not seem to be a device issue- I have tried this on the ipad 2, ipad3, macbook air, and sony vaio. On the ipad app, the pages remain white and when you try to zoom in and out, you can see the text but it still takes forever to load. It almost seems like the pages have loaded but just aren't visible. I am not sure if the issue is the actual kindle app but as I mentioned earlier, the glitches aren't limited to my kindle apps. On the computer version it takes a long time to reach the next page (gives the loading symbol) for both windows and mac.
Also, I have the entire purchased version, not the trial version. This problem did not arise with the trial version. Until this issue is resolved, I am giving the Kindle product a 2 stars.

Update: For the ipad application: The only solution I have found is that if the book is left open for a few minutes, more of the pages load but if you go backwards, the pages return to their blank white state. Just to be clear, if you have highlighted information or taken notes, those are not lost. For the macbook (brand new pro and air): the book seems to crash the application.

2nd Update: I tried to contact the publisher and after telling me that they would contact me in 24 hours, the finally did more than a week later. They told me to contact a second email address and that email address did not work. Since this is a review for a product and not just the quality of the book, I am rating at as 1 star. If it was closer to the actual boards, this would be extremely frustrating.

Teuer, aber gut

Reviewed in Germany on 24 March 2014

Mit 30€ für eine bessere Zusammenfassung der deutschen Vorklinik relativ teuer. Man bekommt noch die amerikanischen "College" Fächer Patho, Rheuma, Mikrobio, Pharma und Viro. Das aber in einem sehr dezenten Maßstab.
Für die eigentliche Aufgabe, die Vorbereitung auf das USMLE1 allerdings super. Viele nützliche Tipps um durch den Paragraphendschungel auf dem Weg zum Stex in den USA besser durchzublicken. Für alle die das machen wollen eigentlich unverzichtbar
