Hi guys ! Thanks for inviting me here ! Just was wondering yesterday to go for USMLE ! Think its all very timely. Any ideas abt which books (like kaplan,FA etc) I shd use for sure as a base for STEP 1 prep ?? Appreciate your time !
Hi buddy...Thanks for joining our group! As you said Kaplan and FA are must. For pathology kaplan is not enough, You will need Goljan for pathology. Im using Toronto notes 2008 as reference, its really good! Other than that, UsmleWorld, Rapidreview, Usmlerx, kaplanQbank are available for download. You can workout these mcqs while reading theory! Finally NBME, there are totally 6 forms, so there are lot of options to try!! All the best...Cheers!! PS: I have mentioned only the books that i followed, please add other important books that i had left out !

Thanks for invite me and for the welcome Any one had seen pass program and your experience and if it work for you for usmle step 1 or 2.
check out this thread, I collected a bunch of exam experiences and book lists people used for the boards, USMLE STUDY PLANS Also here are some blogs of people studying for the boards: USMLE BLOGS When are u guys planning on taking Step 1? I prob will take it the end of the next year. Just now sure if I should self study or take the Kaplan Live lectures. I was thinking if self studying doesn't work (by checking my progress w/ NBME exams) I will take the Kaplan course.
@Powel: I might be taking mine early august! @campoacosta: Not much knowledge regarding PASS PROGRAM, anyway rapidshare links for videos are posted in our premium zone! You could try it!! Lol its 10 gigs, you would have finished your exam before you finish downloading it from RS
