  I've done all three. FA is more complete than the rest. Crush, gives you a good organized outlook of the topics, but doesnt give you much info just a lot of punch lines. Secret just tests your knowledge and is good for self evaluation.

Anymore questions?

  if you want to read only one book, better to read FA, if read both then FA and crush.

  FOR ME FA WAS BETTER THAN CRUSH. IN FACT, I JUST SAW SOMW PAGES AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT TOO MUCH FOR WHAT I WAS NEEDING AT THAT TIME
I ALSO ENJOY SECRETS A LOT ... IS VERY SUMMARIZED, IN QUESTION/ANSWER FORMAT, WITH SOME NICE PICTURES....

  I hope you are not using those as your only source. I did FA alone and failed. Then I did Crush plus Boards and Wards and still failed.

-Cyrus.

  OF COURSE IT CAN NOT BE used as YOUR ONLY SOURCE !!! IT IS NOT ENOUGH.

I used:
Kaplan Notes + DVDs. (old)
+ USMLE STEP 2 SECRETS (2nd edition-new)
+ Boards & Wards (3rd edition-new)
+ First Aid-2- CK 2006
+ usmleworld question bank
+ Kaplan CD 2007
+ NMBE that may be downloaded from this forum

******Training on questions is the key********

  crush is good just for the last review,it will take 1 week to finish.
I suggest first aid,it has the same format of step 1 first aid and pretty comprehensive,you can use it along with studying.
I think the new edition will be released in 10 days.
