There are 3 different FA books:
1. FA Cases
2. FA Q&A
and
3. the normal one: FA for Step 2 CK.

WHICH ONE is everyone talking about when they mention "FA for CK"??????????

I just got the normal FA for the USMLE Step 2 CK 6th edition... Are the other two better?

Thanks.

This is the main one everyone uses

In the other thread from gogetta, this is the one I was refering to.

If you want an example of the format in there, I pretty much put all the OB cases up in the OB section. I found it simple, but useful. I'll probably put the gyn ones up this weekend as well.

I don't have any idea on Q&A

Personally I feel step up is a much better resource

Thanks. Thats the one i got. just wanted to make sure since I heard about the other two.
got it yesterday, and it's pretty good, but brings back memories of studying for Step 1 because I used my FA A LOT for that exam, added notes to it from Kaplan and q-book, and took it with me everywhere till it fell apart. smiling face

Well, for Step 1 it was helpful for me...
Not sure about step2... I think UW is the best for CK.

I think first FA is good enough. I didn't find second one of much help except that it seems little time consuming. Step up is good but the problem is there are many typos in it according to someone on the forum. So, I would suggest to better stick to the first one, if someone is really interested to do FA at all.

"FA for Step 2 CK"... Do not go for Cases and Q & A. They are not worth spending so much of time. GL!
