General USMLE Step 1 Study Guides

Cracking The Boards, Usmle; Step 1 by Breaden, Radhika Sekhri (Joint Author:Stein, Michael Joint Author:Zei, Paul).. This package looks pretty good.

Anatomy 

Anatomy : Review for USMLE Step 1 by Kurt E. Johnson (1998) edition:  This latest edition of a book that was already very high yield.  You can go through it in three days and feel good about knowing the anatomy that you will need on the exam.  Be sure to really pay attention to CTs, MRIs, and the various cross sections.  Hopefully, they got rid of some of the typos that were in the older edition.

High-Yield Gross Anatomy by Ronald W. Dudek.  This book get the highest ranking amongst the anatomy review books by the 1999 edition of First Aid for the USMLE Step 1

Gross Anatomy (Board Review Series) by Kyung Won, Ph.D. Chung.  I did not use this one, and I hear it is not well liked.  Let me know if you feel otherwise. Price Fetch

Microbiology and Immunology

Medical Microbiology & Immunology by Levinson & Jawetz

Appleton And Lange's Review For Microbiology And Immunology For The Usmle; Step 1by Yotis, William W. (With:Hashimoto, Tadayo With:Blumenthal, Harold J.) 

* Concepts in Microbiology, Immunology, and Infectious Disease : A Review for the USMLE Step 1

Biochemistry

Lippincott's Illustrated Reviews : Biochemistryby Pamela C. Champe, Richard A., Ph.D 

Digging up the Bones Medical Review Series: Biochemistry 1998 edition. - Lots of good charts and sketches, cheap, only 115 pages. It is probably pretty good for reviewing for the USMLE but not enough for a 1st year biochem course. Price Fetch

Pathology

Pathology Board Review Series by Schneider & Santo Price Fetch

Pathology (Saunders Text And Review Series) by Goljan, Edward F. 

Pharmacology

We used the first two books listed below and liked them a lot. If anyone has feedback, on the latter two let me know with the suggestion form below.

Mary Julia Mycek, et al

Clinical Pharmacology Made Ridiculously Simple by Jim Olsen (1997) Price Fetch

Pharmcards : Review Cards For Medical Students by Johannsen, Eric C. Pharmacology clearly lends itself to being studied with flash cards.  There are two options listed here.  Pharmcards are more popular, but they are probably interchangeable. 

Medical Pharmfile Cards by Medfiles Publishing -  Flash card for pharmacology -10% OFF!! 

Mosby's Review Cards : Nursing Pharmacology by Paulette Rollant, Karen Hill. I don't know anything about this one but people have been asking for some pharm. flash cards. I am anxious to hear from anyone who has used these cards.

Physiology

The Constanzo book was extremely helpful for mastering the basics of physiology. Several students found it useful for both first and second year classes. The second book was recommended by a visitor to this site. 

Physiology Board Review Series by L. Constanzo -
"This book is perfect. The contents and language are  excellent and intelligible. Neither mistakes, nor misprints. If you know this Rewiew, you should get close to 100% right." - Dr. Istomina.

* Concepts in Physiology : A Review for the USMLE Step 1 (USMLE Concepts Series)

There are two options here. Most of us used High Yield Neuroanatomy, but many also liked Clinical Neuroanatomy Made Ridiculously Simple. The latter presents the material in a more simplistic almost silly manner, but it is probably adequate for the boards. In fact it was great for my neurology rotation.

Behavioral Science

Behavioral Science (Board Review Series) by Barbara Fadem.  Don't underestimate this topic on the exam.  Quite a few "touchy/feely" questions showed up on the exam. 

High-Yield Behavioral Science by Fadem, Barbara :  This text gets the highest ranking by the 1999 edition of First Aid for the USMLE Step 1
