First Aid for the USMLE Step 1: 2007 (First Aid for the Usmle Step 1)

I received the book on time and even though it was used- there were no such markings in the book and it was in excellent condition. Thank you...

4 out of 5 stars good review book.......2007-09-22

concise review book. good for brushing up on topics. great way to start off your study for USMLE step 1. also includes some study tips.

4 out of 5 stars simply a list for USMLE.......2007-08-22

I must have unrealistic expectation for this book, because everyone has gushed about how great first aid is for step1. Well, I got the book and studied, I took my exam, and in retrospect, I can say that while the book gets good marks for putting together the minimum you have to know, it's simply not a definitive source. For one, usmle seems to move increasingly toward testing fundamental concepts in unusual ways, and this book is simply not good for concept. It's basically a list of things you have to memorize for the straight up memory questions. And even for the latter, so many of the mnemonics are so random that chances are you'll remember the mnemonic but not what they stand for.
Anyways, I'll still say take this book, make sure you cover everything the book listed, use this simply as a checklist. It's not the bible for usmle or anything like that - just that I dont know anywhere else that condense the facts into so few pages.
And make sure to get the list of mistakes - there are always new ones in every edition for some reason.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Excellent review for Step 3.......2007-06-19

I'm finally finished with these stupid exams! Like probably all of you, I didn't have much time in between work to study for this exam. Now more than ever it was important to find something that provided the most information in the least amount of time.

First Aid was really helpful here. The High Yield facts was helpful and packed full of what you needed to know for the MCQ's on the exam. But the book really stands out with the 100 CCS cases. I read this section a couple of days before the exam, along with doing the USMLE CD. It was very helpful in providing the language necessary to complete the cases quickly. To my knowledge, no other written source provides this review.

Even though First Aid was not the only source I used to study for the exam, I think it's absolutely necessary for a quick read to pass the last of these painful exams!

4 out of 5 stars Good book for test prep........2007-04-11

I didnt have alot of time to study for the boards. This book was definatly a fast efficent review of the pertent topics. The CCS part of the book is the most valuable.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Service My Friend.......2007-01-30

Got the book in a timely fashion, and in superb condition. Thanks so much! :)

3 out of 5 stars There has to be something better!!!!.......2006-12-16

I'm about to take my step 3 exam and I based my study on this book. It is divided in 2 sections, high yield facts and clinical cases simulator. The clinical case part is quite ok, gives you a rapid tool to do your cases. The high yield facts part, on the other hand, has several errors and facts that I really don't know where they came from and cost me some questions during questions practice... Since I started to doubt of the accuracy of this so called high yield facts, I had to invest more time in confirming some of them. There has to be a better book.

5 out of 5 stars THe only review book with CCS case work........2006-09-25

I've always been a fan of first aid books. painless review. read this once, did qbank and the cd for the test.

    5 out of 5 stars this is all you need..........2007-10-11

    I've recently passed step 2cs and this book is all that I studied...no need for kaplan's expensive review nor usmle world...Just practice the cases in the book with a partner (and read the mini-cases as well) and you are guaranteed to pass. good luck guys!

    5 out of 5 stars The only book a US student needs for this exam.......2007-10-04

    Of all the First Aid books I've used (Step 1, Step 2 CK, Wards), this is the only one that I'd use as stand-alone prep for the exam. I finally coughed up $45 for this book after trying unsuccessfully to figure out the basics of the exam from the info provided by USMLE (i.e. structure, timing, scoring, topics). It was completely worth it. Every case I had on the real exam was very, very familiar, after studying for only 3 days. Most important, I knew what I needed to do to earn points. Don't waste time or money with anything else.

    4 out of 5 stars Very helpful for CS.......2007-09-26

    This review book was very helpful in taking Step 2 CS. It contains more info than you need, but is organized in a manner where you can easily skip what you don't need. The "minicases" were tremendously helpful, if for no other reason than just brushing up on diagnoses I hadn't thought about in months... If you have time, you can look over the practice cases, but those are skippable if you're crunched for time. I started reviewing 1 week prior to the exam & I think I did just fine.

    5 out of 5 stars SUPER IMPORTANT ITEM.......2007-09-02

    THIS IS A BASIC FOR PASSING STEP 2 CS, FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WORK UP, THE MINICASES ARE VERY HELPFULL, BUY IT WITH CONFIDENCE, IT IS A GREAT BOOK

    5 out of 5 stars Gotta have it, not to learn, but to alleviate anxiety........2007-08-27

    The great thing about this book is that it demystifies the CS so you know EXACTLY what is coming at you. Not so much the actual cases, nobody can do that for you, but you'll know the format, time constraints, everything about the exam right down to the pesky little details. I didn't bother reading any of the cases, but the book was worth the purchase just so I knew about the test itself and could prepare myself mentally. I was kind of freaking out about this exam until I read this book, the day of the exam, I was totally relaxed and I wasn't surprised by anything.

    I can't comment on the cases other than to say there is quite a few of them in here.

    I would buy this book again knowing what is in it, and what was involved with the test.

    This book will not guarantee a pass for you, nothing can. A fellow medical student that took the exam the same day as me at the same center failed, and he read it cover to cover.

    Best thing to do with this book is read about the exam itself, ignore the rest, and do your best to relax the day of the exam (alprazolam or beta blockers never hurt either if you need them) and treat it like any other day at the clinic.

    Good luck.

    this is a good book to review the existing knowledge.... do not use this book to gain new knowledge.... excellent mnemonic help, thats good...

    i think this book need some more articles,,,,specially in paediatrics surgery and psychiatry...

    thank you

    3 out of 5 stars Not the best study aid this time.......2007-01-04

    When I took step one, this was my bible, and it prepared me very well. This time, the book gave lots of facts but did not prepare me well for the case-based questions of step two. I did not feel confident at all when I left this exam, and I had memorized this entire book. There was just not enough detail. I would recommend learning this book but then also doing tons of practice questions as well.

    2 out of 5 stars Not as good as First Aid for Step 1.......2006-09-08

    I was very disappointed with this resource for CK prep. I found Step 2 secrets to be far superior. I purchased and read First Aid for Step 2 CK based on my positive experience with First Aid for Step 1. Much to my disappointment, First Aid for CK contained quite a large amount of basic information that just isn't high yield on step 2. For example, the basic ins and outs of ECG. On the exam, pertinent ECG findings are usually given, and then you're asked to make a clinical decision (e.g. next test or step in management) based on the ECG findings and other data presented. Step 2 secrets is a much more clinically oriented review of material for CK. WARNING: don't rely heavily on First Aid for CK or you'll be disappointed. USMLE world and Kaplan Qbank are probably the best review resources out there, with review books serving as supplements. Unfortunately, First Aid for Step 2 CK was not very helpful. See my review of step 2 secrets, as I consider it to be the best text resource (remember, only as a supplement to online question banks) for CK. I'm not bashing the First Aid series because many are very good books. For example, First Aid for step 2 CS is right on the money (see my review of First Aid for step 2 CS).

    3 out of 5 stars Helpful .......2006-08-07

    I agree with other reviewers. It doesn't come close to the usefulness of Step 1. It contains too little information considered high yield in the exam. Definitely not to be used by itself.

    although i agree that the kaplan q bank and usmle-world are invaluable resources for step one, i personally hate hate HATE to study on the computer. this book was a good solution. i found it true to the exam, and suited me and my need to have something physically in front of me to scribble on. solidly reviewing the questions in this book -- 2 or 3 times -- would be a good basis for taking step 1.

    This is a great resource for boards prep. It breaks down questions by organ system, has a large "practice test", and has some basic science sections too. Its nice because you can review a specific organ system or area and then quiz yourself with questions directed toward that specific area too.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent question book.......2007-03-03

    I am an attorney and used to studying for exams with a large number of questions from which to prepare. Until First Aid Q&A came out, there were not many sources with 1000+ questions and that covered multiple subjects. All and all an excellent question book that I have used for my in class exams and which I intend to use for Step 1.

    This is not bad as another book to have for Step1 Prep. Don't overwhelm yourself with too many books because there are ALOT of books out there. Just pick a handful becuase otherwise you will have conflicting information.

    Just Get the BOOK!!! Yes That Good!!! It helps you think about every aspect of a concept. Example, path & Physio of what's going on with the patient. It brings important concepts in medicine in extremely valid cases which are written "like" the NBME questions. I would rec this book 100% worth every penny!!!

    4 out of 5 stars great book.......2006-10-29

    cases are informational and board style. follows the step 1 book. the step one book, cuts out the [...] and tells you what's needed for the boards. great outline. some of the topics are a little thin. has color histo atlas and websites for more general info. I think the book would be better if it had more cases but overall, the combo is a good buy!

    5 out of 5 stars Kaplan Q bank+ this book =all you need to pass and do well.......2007-07-19

    I think the key to studying for the Step 1 is to restrict your studying materials. It's better to know everything in one book (THIS BOOK) than some of 5-6 books. So many questions from my USMLE came straight from this book that if you studied this and memorized every syllable, you will pass and pass well! Just supplement this with the Q bank to get yourself into question mode and you will be just fine.

    This was pretty much all I used and I made a 225/94.

    4 out of 5 stars Great book for review.......2007-03-21

    It is a good book for review but the subjects change one to another to fast and dont have any link between the subjects. You will need comprehensive books if you dont know a lot about the subjects. Good for highlight the most important topics for the test.

    4 out of 5 stars Step 1.......2007-02-01

    No magic, just study, I did it with KAPLAN, and the last week before the exam I just read this.
    Helpfull.

    5 out of 5 stars Good for more than just the boards.......2007-01-10

    First Aid has helped me in tests throughout the year. I actually wish I had had it last year, so that when the time comes to study for the boards, I'd be extremely familiar with the book. That said, the book is systems based, and the curriculum at my school is subject-based, so I'm considering getting an older edition of the First Aid for the biochemistry, anatomy, embryology, and histology sections. The mnemonics are great, and since I'm a visual learner, I really like the diagrams and pictures, especially for neuropathology.

    I'm really glad I bought it early in the year. Don't put off buying this book simply because Step 1 is eight months away, it's value goes beyond USMLE.

    Book Description

    From Dr. Phil's Letter to Parents:

    I want to talk to you about family: yours and mine. I know and feel that as parents, you and I share some very important priorities. Just like you, I love my family more than anything in this world and I want us all to be safe, healthy, happy and prosperous in everything we do both within our family and as we go out into the world. Cynics will tell you that in our fast-paced society "family" is becoming obsolete, that it is just an old-fashioned, lost concept, getting buried in a busy world of "enlightened" people. I'm here to tell you that that is not right, not even close. Family is even more important today than in generations past, and its erosion is unacceptable. This is a fight we can and must win. This is a fight we will win if we just do our homework and plug in. What I intend to do in Family First is tell you with great precision what you need to stop doing and what you need to start doing to lead your family with such a pure purpose and power that the competing messages and influences are drowned out. I plan to help you define success and then take the steps to create and claim it for you and yours. Your children are the stars in your crown and it is time for them to shine; it is okay for them to shine and, if you do your job, shine they will. -- Dr. Phil

    5 out of 5 stars Tools to help put your family first........2007-09-18

    This book is on my mind because I recommended it yesterday while talking with a single mother. She clearly loved her kids but was at her wit's end with them not listening, not helping out at home and constantly arguing with her and each other. She said she had "tried everything" (which she later acknowledged she hadn't once she saw how she eventually gave in because the disciplinary tactics she used "weren't working"). This book immediately came to mind as one that is easy to read and will give her guidance on setting boundaries, sticking with them, being consistent and doing "what it takes" to get her family back on track.

    This book offers an assessment for parents to identify their parenting style and their child's personality style and provides strategies to best adapt their parenting accordingly. Make sure to measure each of your children separately - amazing how kids in the same family can be so different!

    This book is especially recommended for those who are (or quickly heading toward) parenting teens. Even if you feel like you've lost control of your teenage kids, this book's message that it's never too late to turn things around is reassuring and empowering. Some parents might need additional professional help but this book provides a solid start for all.

    Dr Phil is inspiring as always. I really enjoyed this book and I think Dr. Phil is powerful and innovative. I also think his work is similar to the encouraging words of another doctor, Dr. Joan. Dr. Joan is just as good in my opinion. I would recommend her for more inspiration and positive words.

    I read this book or rather skimmed it for a quick read. It changed my life and my family's. It is great!!! Its interesting and he is right on the money. I too wondered how good a parent he could be traveling all the time but if you read the book he takes a child with him often giving him time one on one. I want to buy it and read it again so I can highlight all the things that mean something to me!

    I've used the TABE test before some 8 years ago and loved them. That's why I purchased it again. Keep up the good work.

    5 out of 5 stars Do you need help to prepare for a reading comprehension test?.......2006-09-28

    I have taught GED for several years and we constantly use the TABE tests. I like the test because it is easy to administer and easy to grade.
    Recently, many professionals need to update their files and continue to show "language proficiency" in reading and comprehension for writing reports. This book will help you to prepare for such a test.
    Also, if you work in a more "hand's on" job, then you may need to refresh your skills in reading. Even as people get older, they need to continue to work on vocabulary, writing and reading skills. The TABE test is a great instrument for educators and students.
    I recommend this book for someone who does not have time to take a remedial English class. This book is a great tool for study. I do agree it is "the First Step to Lifelong Success" as a student and for any professional.
    I believe that adults need a refresher course from time to time no matter what profession they are in. GED students will most likely be familiar to the TABE tests because it is used to help the teacher locate the grade level of the student through the test scores. They help the student by the practice of taking tests. This is a book designed to help the student improve their skills by taking the TABE test.
    It is also a great tool for students who are bilingual.
    El libro es muy excelente para alumnos para mejorar su inglés. En particular, se puede mejorar la comprensión, el vocabulario, y la lectura.
    Como enseño el examen del GED, tengo que usar el TABE test para calificar el nivel del alumno. Por eso, el libro es muy provechoso para mejorarse en los estudios generales.
