Very High-Yield October 27, 2006
KJK (PA)
This is a very high-yield little book written with Step 1 in mind. As the title implies, it focuses on pathology and pathophysiology. There is no wasted space, and don't be fooled by its small size, there is quite a lot of information in there. It is especially helpful as it contains useful information about refining your differential diagnosis (how to tell two similar diseases apart) based on sublties in the presentation. There is a lot of information you might not get in your pathology course (e.g. prerenal vs renal azotemia based on urine chemistry.) There is a section on zebras/syndromes (if you're like me, these are a devil to remember), a few pages of nice glossy images, and 75 Step 1 style questions with explanations in the back. Overally, a lot of information in a small package, including many unusual diseases not mentioned in many other review texts. A worthwhile read!
 good book July 4, 2006
BostonMed22 (BOSTON, MA)
pretty decent book...i read this along with BRS...there are some mistakes in this book tho...when i first read through it...i felt like i was reading through a med students coursework notes because everything is in bullets...and hard to understand....if you read brs first...and use this afterwards...it makes more sense...its a decent book...with some good questions in the back...I Was too lazy to do all of them though...
Terrific May 14, 2006

This book and Secrets are great condensed multi-subject reviews. When you get tired of reading FirstAid, Step-up and the subject-based review books (e.g. BRS Phys), this book is a great supplement. If you can find time for this kind of studying, you'll enjoy this small, condensed book.
I'm also looking forward to using it on rotations starting this summer.
Great Step 1 book July 20, 2005

I wish I would have used this book prior to taking Step 1. This review book has many of the nit-picky details that I saw on my USMLE. I would recommend this book for those who have not taken Step 1 and I would also recommend the clinical boards and wards book for your clinical rotations. Good luck on your exam.
FANTASTIC LITTLE REVIEW BOOK! January 30, 2004
This book is not only great for quick look ups on rounds, but it is great during the first 2 years of med school because the little highlights/buzzwords helps with exams.
Very easy to read, highlights just the important stuff.
