yes sm1 pls answer this ques
i think goljan shd suffice
infact one of my friends used both goljan path review(stars) and FA and she said goljan is way better than FA.
she advised me to leave FA for path
it would be better if we got other pplz views on this front

FA is an extremely important book for step 1. I would say its indispensable. But it shouldn't be used alone. I used FA and Goljan notes and I thought it was an excellent combination.

Conclusion : Use FA + whatever else.

thanks everyone smiling face

i sort of realized the reality in this, because, when im reading goljan he is so unorganized. i feel like its like a conversatoin im trying to figure out. its all over the place. only his rapid review book is decently organized.

whereas FA, yes its unorganized in terms of what pargraph perceds what. BUT the pararaph alone has a heading, a nifty chart or graph and its like BOOM u know it.

i think iwill use FA alongside goljan to compare n create a chart of organization in my brain. thanks to all who answered smiling face

ihope you feel satisfied avishkar1984 smiling face

I believe that Kaplan Med Essentials will make the same trick as First Aid - but is of better quality. Any other opinions?
