can some one tell me what books should i use, for the step 2, because there is no firs aid, what can i use for general review..?

me

this is what ppl say at Dr Carl's forum:
Int Med: Blueprints (BP)
Peds: BP
Surgery: Kaplan notes
Psych: High Yield
Ob/Gyn: BRS or kaplan notes

In general people recommend Bords & Wards or Crush step 2 for quick review.....

NOW, In my opinion:
Start with Kaplan highlites, these lectures are fantastic!
then:
Int Med: BP is enough, but b careful no neurology, no dermatology there..so don't forget these subjects from somewhere else...plenty on sites on the net or UCV
Surgery: BP, I think it's great, and I personally preferred them over K notes
Psychiatry: BP or HY, both r OK
Peds: BP
Ob/gyn: just K hilites
For general review: Rx for the boards (precription for the boards) and Crush step 2

God luck
