           :no no: Hai fellows Wish you all 99. Just came across that none of the 99 holders in forum been through Goljan Rapid review. Either they prepared from Goljan Notes or BRS. For those who have done rapid Review, What should they do now for 99.

I did come across 99ers who have used Goljan RR. If you searched in old exam experiences probably it was before the book was published or got famous. RR is rated as "A" is 2008 FA. Though, personally, I use BRS. Use anyone of them, they are all good.

Goljan RR is the best book i have read. Thats why i chose it over Kaplan or Goljan scanned notes. And even Goljan himself told me that no need to buy contraband scanned copies online when u get what all i teach in a more reader friendly format in my RR book , with all his copyrighted Goljan slides and wonderful Path Qbank CD too ( onli with International Editions ) Seriousli, it contains everything what he teaches Lets take a topi for example, Platelets... I read the topic in the book.... just read it .... and the information will be presented to u in such a continuum that u will easili form connections and remember very much all the vital info in the first go itself...i mean he first gives u all the relevant normal points and then discusses how those things will get abnormal in a unambiguous way, then when i got the idea abt the topic... I listened to his lectures, he talks thru the same pattern in the RR book..welll 99% of time he does.... If he doesnt, then it means the lectures are old not his new ed RR book.... and if in between his lectures he talks abt few Usmle type Qs... which i could anser mostli cos i read RR once before , if i cudnt then i used to mark them in the word to word audio lecture notes, and then used to read those few points when i will read RR after the lecture... The book is awesome...It sees huge ..600 pages bt most of it is pictures and the whole page doesnt contain information...Its all written point wise but in a paculiar way to maitain sense and continuum...To the sides u find space just like kaplan notes where most imp points will be written again in blue color... Its priced at 500 rs in india... where as 1600 rs in USA. Dont try highlighting points... if u do... u wud need a paint brush.....Exactli.... I am not joking.... I started doing it but soon realised its making my book look gawdy and lose that classic look... so stopped doing it... Buy it Read it Its a much much improved version of his scanned notes. Scanned notes looks monotonous.... no headings..... all in same color..... and may contain some outdated information....
