I think the lectures are waste of time and money. The only good lecture was pathlogy with dr Barone. The DVDs are according me and my other friends whom altso attended classes, are really good exept the Neuroanatomy and histology dvd. He reads from the book. But Biochem, pharm, specially physiology are very good. If I knew it today I would never go to live lectures.

u r more than welcome...I know that you can buy the old ones on ebay, but the new ones are harder to find. There's a site www.usmlepro.com I know that they have them, but I don't know if the site is secure. You can even pay kaplan for the centerprep. and have 3 months access to all the material including the qbank and all the books.
Hope it helped you
good luck rolling eyes

Get your DVDs on ebay and then pay the Centre prep Amount to a Local Library and trust me it will be the best investment of your entire life.
