hi guyz,
i am new to this forum(well cant really say that cause i have been reading the posts on the forum for a long time now).
i have my kaplan notes(2001) and goljan audio lectures(but dont have his HY notes) and the first aid. i was wondering if kaplan will be enough or should i read some other books for particular subjects. like for which subjects should i be reading HY.
and which is a good qbank to use- kaplan or UW ?
thanks for the replies and hope to conribute to this wonderful forum.
good luck to all !!

Try to get more recent notes since they have changed.
Yes Kaplan 2006 - 2007 has clinical vignettes , recent figures- behavioral, more Q in between chapters.
The text is almost same - only 1-2% change but for these additions- we need to study what is being tested now.

Also First Aid 2005 is better than 2006 since it is subject wise.

New Rapid Review Goljan in Nov 2006 will be helpful.(patho kaplan - no major change- horrible notes )

New Q book, UW and Q bank will be question source.

Hi rock!
Please check out waqastariq's prep journal also on this site, just in case you haven't stumbled across it yet. He has a lot of really helpful links you might want to check out first.
