I used Kaplan Lectures Notes (amazing) there is all in that books, but i used the pre test books, first aid was good too, and did a lot of questions
I suggest to train yourself reading fasr, cause the q are so big skip the tutorial and use the 2 sheets to wr9ite the most common values in Igs (IgG, IgM,IgE, etc) sens, espec, Odds ratio, relative risk formula, so if you see a q you dont have to recall the formula
try to do the first 2 blocks straight and then one by one ( I suggest) carry a lunch
DO QUESTIONS
Surgery All in Kaplan
Behavioral Science Pre test book, explanation amazing
Gynecololy Kaplan
Inrenal Med Kaplan
