What is better to use Crush or FA for step 3? FA has the CCP cases in the back. Any imput would be great. Thanks Berk

WOW big help in this forum. Must be a bunch of clueless folks awaiting to take step 3 browsing in here. Not much of a support forum if I can't even get 1 response asking about which of the 2 biggest books everyone uses for step 3 is better. Thanks BERK

I have the same dilema you have... I´m finishing kaplan S2 ck lecture notes, plan to watch kaplan S3 videos, read CCS part form FA and play with software then do Qbook and based on feedback from that go with FA or Crush...

there are diffrent reviews for both. I have not done either yet,but FA has CCS cases in the end. so maybe FA is better will tell u more once I am done with them. good luck.

i READ THE CRUSH once fully though iam not sure it helped or not. But the CCS cases in FA really helped. I could not get time to go thru the notes of FA. I did UW MCQ's & ccs.

thank you very much to all those who have replied. So far, I will be going with FA. I looked at Crush step 3 and it looks identical to Crush step 2. plus Crush has the CCS cases in the back which seem good.

so far what I plan on doing is FA step 3, USMLE world for MCQs and CCS cases and possibly usmle123 for even more cases.
