I did Immunology from OLD KAPLAN, its easy and simple, but I think you wouldn't be able to do good by that in exam. I can say NEW KAPLAN book is sufficient.

Pharmacology, i did from Kaplan, and I was contantly doing good in Pharmacology. People do suggest Pharmcards and before that one good reading from lippincott, and FA is also good.

Thanks Shakeels

I have seen Immunology in an old Kaplan version(2002) and doesn't seem too big ( 100 pages). Why do you think is not enough?

Any reference of last edition(2005) of High yield Immunology?

Kaplan Pharm seems overkilled.

Does anybody has tried Immuno and Micro for the Boards and Wards by Ayala and Pharm for the Boards and Wards? How is Road Map Pharm?

Any input is very welcomed

Thanks

Dear usmletaker2004

For pharm book,kaplan is the best with Katzung for clearing concept.It has nice table and figure.FA is also must.

for immunology just stick to kaplan.

good luck
