You are about to make a common and big big mistake: oversaturating yourself with 2 o r 3 books from the same subject.
You already have kaplan notes which are excelent, so whats the point of buying more books for the same subject? the only book that is not so good and complete in kaplan is pathology so buy BRS or Goljan for it, and stick to the material you have.
I only read from kaplan notes and goljan notes whit a lot of questions and ended with a very good score, but its your call pal

in reference to oversaturating with textbooks. i've picked one book for everything except for path. Is using goljan and BRS overkill? is brs alone comprehensive enough?

If you have Goljan why using BRS? and viceversa............., there is no point in reading the same info from 2 books, both books are great but use only one.
