all good books, but my general advice is to stick to one source of material and read it well, over and over. People who do well generally read only one or two sources. People who read everything they can get their hands on only do well if they have lots of time to prepare. Kaplan notes and FA are more than enough

Get the lange path cards. there are about 250 of them. Take one month and do ten new cards a day-- commit them to memory, cold. Then fill in little factoids with BRS, Goljan or Kaplan. Once you have those cards memorized, you can get through all of them in about 1-2 hours- that way you get a "full" path review everyday. I said this in another post, but I did the same thing with BRS pharm cards and my qbank scores went up from 60-65% to 80-85%. Path went from 50-55% to 70-75%, and the questions I get wrong are usually the "What the f---?!???" kind of questions. If you do this, path will be a breeze. Also, lots and lots and lots of questions. If you can get your hands on Goljan audio (you can find them on ebay) I would listen to them once or twice. Too, bad there aren't biochem cards... I can't break 55% (sigh)
