Hey out there! I'm wrapping up and just want to hit a few weeks with the Kaplan books everyone's talking about - especially the anatomy. But in looking for these books, I see all these varietals smiling face

So, to clarify...I already have the Goljan audio + Goljan path lecture notes (good as advertised).

I have seen people selling at least the following:

1. A series of 8-10 slim-appearing white-covered books titled "Kaplan Lecture Notes" with titles like "Anatomy" on the cover.

2. Two or three black thick books titled "Kaplan Organ Systems" and "Kaplan General Principles".

Can anyone tell me the difference between these? Are they basically equivalent (esp. w/r/t anatomy?) Thx!

the kaplan lecture notes are designed to go with live lectures and the webprep lectures. the kaplan organ systems or the black books are what they are- books, just like robbins, but more concise. i believe most people go for the lecture notes, since they are just what like goljan said "a result of 25 years of putting up together... they are all you need... just like an expresso... you're fixed..." even though without the live or webprep lectures, if you're a visual learner, you'll do fine with the lecture notes. :wink: i know this, since i've got people from my class who scored 90s and up with just these books to guide them. and ofcourse they always tell me to master first aid grin
