There is nothing more that could be done 4 physio......dat shud suffice.

DrDido,
Physio as such wud be very less; most wud be as pathophysio,
If Ur fundamentals are good, BRS alone shud suffice.
Combine it with a good Q resource for Pathophysiology.

Heyy friends smiling face A friend of mine scored 92 a couple of months ago and his comment was that all Kaplan books less or more needed a little bit supplementation EXCEPT FOR physio ! He thinks it was more than enough for the exam (besides we have here the 2002 edition )
hope I dont mislead you sad

Well ,i have been informed that Kaplan Lecture Notes are more than enough in physio , but you should also read the GI section from the old (blue) BRS ...

I hope this was useful

Best Regards

Guys Whosoever says that He or she Studied BRS + Kaplan n found them insufficient then trust ME its total BS. Kaplan Series r more than Enuf for Everything Except Path nfor that Pappi Goljan Does a damn good Job. For Those only who Esp if u really have the urge to Get some thing extra Try Ganong first then BRS Keep the Latter 2 as ur reference books which occasionally u look up for things which arent clear to u.

I would add Guyton as a decent reference for physiology as well ...

Best regards

umm I dunno but it really DEPENDS upon the person who is goin through these ...
I have seen people reading GANONG with all this combo too but the thing is:
it depends upon your level of study...

by this I mean to say if you do 50 Q bank questions and find that:

1. you know answers to most of the questions but you cant recall them...then do KAPLAN only
2. you know answers to half the questions and you arent sure of half of the others...then do the combo..
3. you dunno what the hell are they...do BOTH plus a lil reading from a book you did before but only the important topics...
