  #1

Hi guys,i hope that all of u are doing fine. i was just wondering if knowing the first aid really well is could garentee u a good score, i am kinda confused,since based on my preparation i am doing well in the Qs,hoevwr i hear here and there that first aid should be supplemented with other material,not to mention that many people also mentioned that first aid is the bible and if u know ur first aid very well then thats all what u need to score high in additionn to doing Qbank. Could you please clarify that for me especially those who r familiar with first aid and allready took the exam. Thank u alot

well....this is my personal opinion

know ur FA well....but thts should not be the only thing u knw....i mean FA is real nice to revise the basics in the last week b4 exam...coz u cant revise everything close to exam....but do revise whtever books u hv studied ( eg kaplan course) in the previous 2 weeks (i.e 3 weeks-1 week b4 exam) n then do FA in the last week

hope this helps

well... for me, FA is really helpful.

i regret that i did not read FA when i took my exam. Study Kaplan notes and FA. Good luck on your exam

I'm thinking of keeping FA as the prime source & adding stuff from kaplan to it. I was amazed how much stuff FA has packed in those few pages. the problem is these are HY but disconnected topics...I want to keep the notes I study in the last 2 weeks to a bare minimum & the key I think would be FA with brief notes from kaplan...

FA is EXCELLENT,MUST HAVE......But then again,shud not be primary source,for obvious reasons..I agree with above...it shud be studies in last 2-3 weeks....but make sure u make additions in it according to ur understanding what u feel is deficient....

ALL THE BEST....

Take care.

Saira.

well FA no doubt is the bible of step 1

its really amazing the way they have filled up so much knowledge is just a few pages amazing

well i would be more comfortable if u just go through with FA while in ur start along with kaplan in this way u will get used to FA becose as it is a coincised book u will hav to get used to it in order to memorise it keep in touch with FA while ur at ur second read and then make it a source of all he subjects during ur last week
