I need any advice about the preparation for step 1 (books, CD's, personal experiences)

  #2

all of the information u are looking for can be answered by using the search option. but i think the majority of people would agree on kaplan lecture notes for books. goljan audio and notes for pathology and/or brs pathology. and for questions kaplan qbank. for personal experiences, look at top few threads on exam experiences. hope that helps bye.

There is a difference between Kaplan lecture notes 2002 and the new one ?

I would use what I have and get 2005 First Aid. I do think it is a MUST to get the current online version of Kaplan Q-Bank. One month is enough. Work your butt off and do them in a month. Builds up the stamina for the test and you can learn your weak spots and by reading the detractors and the answers, you can learn volumes as well. Do them in random mode. Use the timer if you have a problem with time management as well. This is interactive learning and you won't fall asleep doing it. First Aid is wonderful. Not complete, but will give you a lot of good information. I can go back and look at First Aid and find most of the questions I KNOW I missed in it. REASON to get the new online version and NOT a copied one is that Kaplan changes the test every few months. I took the Q-Bank back in July of 04 and again in November of 04. Very few questions were the same. They have a feel for what the boards are asking. So work your pirated copies and then pay for the real thing. No need to buy new Kaplan notes. Keep good Karma.
