I did the same thing with my Step 1 studying...started questions a bit too late and really was scrambling at the end...don't recommend that to anyone. I really like the interface and hope to keep USMLEWorld as part of my board prep through Step 2 CS/CK, Step 3 and during my intern year. Thanks

I have really enjoyed my time studying with Apollo Audiobook Materials...Gold Standard really has been pretty valuable in my Step 1 successes and preparation for Step 2. I like the logical, sequential manner...and am hoping there's some sort of Step 2 Study Guide coming soon. I do much...

Doctor Anton: Thank you for the "Table of Contents"...I am really excited about it...like sector9 said, roughly how long will each module last? Is this something that can be done in an hour lunch break or 30 minutes in the morning or before bed, or is it better to really set aside a chunk of...

This is the first I've ever heard of a CD-ROM guided Suturing Instruction Kit and Video and I'm already sold! I'm a 4th year medical student that's had a few months of surgery, OB and ER under my belt and really wish I would have seen/heard of this earlier...I feel I could have gotten so much...

I really like the 3 categories above in regards to having and using ebooks and agree, especially with number 1. Being able to annotate the book is VITAL for reviewing purposes. Even QBooks could be very valuable as an eBook source due to the easy accessibility (you can get 10-15 questions done...

I actually found Immunology to be the most difficult for me to conceptualize, so it was very important for me to see illustrated examples. The moment I started using Lippincott's Immunology, the picture started to be a bit more clear. As far as the other texts, it sounds like a resounding yes...

Thanks for the Promo Code- I will definitely look into it! I've heard good things about ComQuest from my classmates and hope to use it to do well on my upcoming Level 3 exam!

I've really enjoyed using the Gold Standard Package to supplement my learning...and the accessibility is what makes this tool invaluable. I actually transcribed a little of the audio a few years back and have still used the audio in my truck almost everyday...it truly is worth it! That being...

I have used Gold Standard Step 1 and Foundations for my studies for Step 1 and during my clinical months and found it VERY helpful. My time is extremely valuable with a small family at home while going through medical school, so each second counts, and I'm so glad I had something to listen to...

I agree...By FAR best value for my time...and I'm learning that time is something I'm not going to have much of my intern year!

I am echoing the same question. Honestly, I don't even know how similar USMLE Step 3 and COMLEX Level 3 are. I have found USMLEWorld to be very valuable for both Level 1 and Level 2 of the COMLEX, and hope to use it for Level 3, but does anybody have any insight as to what the score actually...

I'm pretty sure the end of the raffle was March 11 at midnight....maybe they'll extend it because there were only 13 posts, 5 of which were by the LWW staff, so it's pretty good odds for those that knew of the raffle. I sure wish I would have known about the raffle before the day AFTER the...

It makes plenty of sense to me to have between 2-3K More than what you have budgeted to live on bare bones while in school...and not borrow any more... Then evaluate each year how you did; Borrow less if you had more than 2500 left (as an emergency fund). I lived quite comfortably off of...

The hard part of the first 2 years of medical school is it CAN'T be standardized among schools...some schools still run letter grades A-E, some just pass/fail/honors, some pass/fail only, some only number grades, so it's really hard to put some bearing on a class ranking for that matter...

I've really learned over the past 2 years of OMM/OMT that I pay a lot more attention to the 'small' things, such as posture and bogginess, which I'm forever grateful for. I went on a rotation w/a Sports Med M.D. and he was trained in his fellowship by a DO and had a lot of respect for what we...
