Yes. I also want to know about FA. It did great job for step 1. Can I use it for CK as well? Somebody in this forum said: FA sucks, stick with Sectrets>this book is new FA for step 2ck. Is that true. Does it mean, NO FA for CK at all.

the newest version of FA is great... used it in the last few weeks of my step 2 prep and it was a great wrap up... have not seen the older versions but i heard they suck! loaned out my book so i don't know which is the latest... just go to amazon and check which is latest... i didnt use secrets so don't know about it... i found boards and wards, and crush not helpful at all...

The 6th edition(2007) is the newest version. I used it during my last week. Its excellent for revision, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. UW has a lot of low yield stuff in it so i wouldn't advise you to do the whole thing again. If you took good notes I'd say stick with that.
