Re: my preparation agamamber - 02-25-08 04:17 u must add FIRST AID in your list ,as its a very good review book .it is a very nicely summarised book which contains all the important ,rather i would say all the topics,which can be revised in a short time.

Re: my preparation agamamber - 02-25-08 04:33 sorry,i didnt read first aid in your r list. if you can arrange for kaplan DVDs ,then it would be very useful for you.ONE IMP thing is you must do ques. in TIMED mode.

Re: my preparation radhamesramos - 02-25-08 10:12 Anyways, First Aid really helps you to get the right book for you. There is a section at the end of the book with a very good review of the available books and description. Unless you get the Kpalan books and DVDs, then you wouldn't need anything (still I recommend you get the First Aid)...then you are set to go

Re: my preparation TheOne - 02-25-08 10:46 Start with Kaplan books and videos, add the goljan's while you're in the middle of your way, finish with First Aid and q banks then wrap it all up with NBME Self-Assessment tests.
Good luck..
