Hi! I've gone through some review books from BSR or HY, but it looks like lots of people prepare the step 1 with kaplan notes. I'm not sure if I should supplement with kaplan notes, which includes 8 books and must be time consuming. Can anyone give me some suggestions? Thanks and GL!

Kaplan notes looks big, but it is less info than using BRS. BRS has more info than Kaplan, but Kaplan is sufficient to get a 99 (IF you know it well). In general, learn FA cold. Then pick either Kaplan or BRS/HY and read whatever you pick over and over and over. Unless you have a LOT of time to prepare, it is not in your best interests to read from too many books.
