congratulations! I need your advise about pathology book.
Do you think that it is ok just use robbins and cotran review of pathology to do patholgy questions? Is it necessary to buy robbins basic pathology to study?
I have use BRS pathology and I figured out it is not enough for me .
thanks

I REALLY enjoy reading this experience. I mostly like it because I am using a few of the same resources, and was beginning to feel perhaps inadequate because I am not using Kaplan stuff, dvd's, etc., for all subjects, that so many users here seem study from. BTW, using the "big Katzung" for boards? Yeah, that's too much, but "baby Katzung" is perfect smiling face Thanks, p53, for sharing your experience, and also thanks to p4a99 for digging it up smiling face

congratulations P 53 ..
to tell u the truth.. i was scared to read you post again coz during my first read it scared me how much resources u used !! man ur scary wink
i have a simple qusetion : if some1 choose to stick to one source for patho questions, what do u recommand ? webpath or robbin's review questions?

2nd , i'm not sure that u did UW, but i think u made it clear that u didn't, for ppl who did it , how much do u recommand doing more questions .. Q bank or Q book kaplan ?

Hello p53, I hope you are doing well these days, did you take step2 yet?

please i have some Qs if you dont mind, this is probably the 3rd time that i read this thread, but this time im doing it more throughly:

1) you read almost 5 books for patho ----- do you recommend that ( for me time is not a problem )?why did you read basic pathology and campanion if you already read basis of disease by the same auther?

2) you said: 'BRS physiology' by Costanzo (maybe, too simplified - I guess her 'Physiology' is better) ----- please what did you intend to say?

3) in behavioral S.: once again you read BRS and HY by the same auther, do you recommend that?

4) You said that you read the text books first then went to moderate review books then even smaller review books ... now that you are more experienced, do you think that that is a good approach or you recommend reading on book several times (most people advise doing this way)?

Thanks for your time ... and good luck in your life
