but still - did anyone use the book? how do you find it?

I heard the book is kaplan version of FA. Some people said it's very good. But online program is like playing computer game.

I was wondering if anybody did use this book with/instead of FA. As far as I saw - it's system orriented, lots of high yield, though not mnemonics like first aid... tons of essential info indeed, but did anyone really use it as a first aid?

hm.. new books: always a temptation...


  #5

People seem 2 have used it ...with satisfaction I believe...
It is actually designed 2 orient Med Grads 4 the content of USMLE...
which can be used with online support....[sure the games appear imbecile]sticking out tonguesticking out tongue

Its surely not a replacement 4 FA, but a quick revision source with which all Kaplan books cud b replaced in the last moments,where time is a constraint; with high yield tables,cycles,conditions,etc.

This is just my opinion & I've decided 2 follow it, 4 quick glance.nodsmiling face
