I've heard great things about these board review books. How many questions are available in the book itself?

 

[ChubbyChaser]

how often is this book updated?

 

[pingouin]

At the beginning of the school year when the 3rd Edition was released, it seemed as if the online questions were not available yet- many of my classmates were commenting on that. 2nd Edition questions were still available only if you had an access code for that edition. Has this glitch been updated/fixed?

I have gad the same problems with the online Questions and was told that they were working on solving the problems. I must say that these books are VITAL to integrating all the mish-mash of facts we are presented with. They make me feel more like a clinician each time I use them!! Thanks for such an excellent series!!

Is the book available for access online when you purchase it?

 

[ELS Marketer]

Great feedback! The book has instant online access when you purchase it and currently all online questions are up and running. New editions are published every four years - and this edition just came out in August so it is very current.

Thanks!

Where do you primarily pull your questions bank from? Is it based on prior Step exams?

 

[schmartdoc]

Are the answers linked in the index with the outline content? I have heard great things about Rapid Review and am considering it as I prepare for USMLE step 1

Hi-

The questions are written by authors and expert contributors and then go through a thorough review by student and resident reps

Check out the contributor page of USMLE Consult to get an idea of who our contributers are and what the review process is:

The answers aren't linked within the index; however, the online content is powered by USMLE Consult, so you can search by keyword, discipline, or organ to find exactly what you are looking for.

 

[abmd]

how much is the book updated each year? are the images such as histo slides of the pathology?

 

[marvolush]

How does Goljan compare to the BRS books? Is it more concise, are there more questions? I'm so torn between which pathology resource to use for Step 1!

 

[Tourterm]

Are the questions with Goljan's Rapid Review similar in style and difficulty to the (pathology) questions from your Step 1 Question Bank? If so, are any questions repeated?
