Get it
1 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
I just got my FA 2010 yesterday. Here are the differences I noticed when compared to the 2008 edition:
1. A few of the colored pictures are new and they incorporated a lot of gray colored pictures inside the notes. In the evolution of MI, for example, they have real pictures instead of drawn pictures in the 2008 edition.
2. Some of the information are converted to table and graph format, which I liked. And they labeled some of the old charts and graphs for easier understanding.
3. In terms of new information, I think anywhere from 1-5 % are new, depending on section. In the cardio section, for example, half a page of vascular tumors are added.
Overall I would buy it if I still have more than a few months to study for the exam.

Single most necessary book for Step 1
22 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
First Aid has it all covered. I use USMLE world, and annotate my first aid. Some people sit and read first aid, but it's not really a book to sit and read, as there is no text, mostly figures, charts and factoids. But it contains most of what you need to know, and there is space to scribble in the things you learn from the Q-bank. This edition is updated, terrific, and spot-on for boards. Included are reviews of other study materials for board exams which I found to be very useful. This book and a Q-bank, I'd stick with World or Kaplan, are all you truly need. I think going through both Q-banks would be more worthwhile than reading more board prep books. Other review books are useful during your coursework though. (I made the mistake of ordering USMLE consult, mostly 1-step as opposed to the 2 or 3 step questions you find on Step 1 and it doesn't lock you out of other computer programs, so it's easy to get distracted, and twice it erased my practice tests. Cheap, but not worth it, despite the great names listed as contributors.)

Great resource

I had already bought the 2009 edition, but since I will be taking Step 1 in 2011, I researched the 2010 updates and found that enough had changed to warrant purchasing the newer version. Though the basic content is the same, there are more details included in 2010. Also, the layout is a little different from '09, with more information organized into tables and charts. In my opinion, it is a highly useful resource and definitely worth the money.
