u can get a 99 without goljan... it's just that he helps you bring concepts together A LOT...If you want goljan, just go and download it (there are details on how to do this on too many threads to mention), but don't worry yourself about it.. it's time to make decisions not ask questions =).
the best thing if you only have a week left is not get too worked up about it and study from what you have.. If you aren't getting a good percentage in qbank, consider postponing... but otherwise just let the world phase out and wrap yourself in the wonderful blanket of academia =).... just remember, people have gotten 99 using only what you've used so y can't you??

Arodny1,
You have one week left, do whatever left according to your schedule. You can get good score with out Goljan. If you already have done your revision, q-bank, FA etc, you can then try GOljan, you will find it a good revision without an effort. At the end when I got tired I listened Goljan, listening, rather than active reading at the end of prep is less tiring. Goljan doesnt give you something extra, he just integrate things together and makes difficult topics very easy, you will not forget the important points, after listening his lectures.
If you can easily find his lectures and you have time then go for it, other wise dont waste your time in searching Goljan's lectures, revise whatever you already have read, and do questions as much as possible, with exlanations, Q-bank, Q-book etc.
Best of Luck!

Don't sweat it. I didn't touch Goljan audio at all, and did fine. I only found out how i could get my hands on them after my step 1. If you've prepared well from the sources you mentioned you should do fine. I personally found kaplan as a useful tool to highlight my weak spots and to cover them during the week before.
