Thank you very much.
Kaplan's is on my mind, but what do you think about the blue prints?
I am very confused about those two!
Thanks alot again!

blue prints are what most US students use. I, however, felt they were too superficial. People use them and do well. As I have said before, I think the best way to prepare for this test is on the wards. The questions are not straightforward, but neither are they something you can just read in a book and know. When I read from Kaplan, I thought they were not enough, and blueprints were even less info. In the end, Kaplan was more than enough, so maybe blueprints are also more than enough. They are awfully small though. In the end, it comes down to preference.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for your kind response.
One more question, please. (Very sorry to disturb you).

I was trying to look for the Kaplan's notes throught out the net, what I found was a small note book! Is that the one you meant! ?
(I suppose not....)
Could you please give me the exact names of the books you meant(I mean the KAPLANS).

The best I could find are the blueprinits of (Medicine, Surgery, Ped.,Gyn and Obs, Psych., Neurology and Cardiology)...Those I wanted to buy.
Now you make me change my mind. I want to see the KAPLANS!


Thank you very much and sorry to disturb you again!

I am talking about the Kaplan notes that you get when you take their course. I don't think you can find it over the web, unless someone is selling their old books. Try e-bay. Many people get them from their seniors who have already taken the test.

Good luck!

Thank you very much for this INFO.
No I cannot take the Kaplan's courses at the moment. I am doing my last year of medicine.
I will buy the BLUE PRINTS for the time being.
Thank you very much for your kind responses.
