medico25, sorry for not writing back promtly.
I am able to open the link for anatomy, but it takes time to load becaue of the huge size. Did you try the smaller version, which is on the right side?

regarding the anatiomy qs, I had about 2 qs per section or maybe 3 to 4 in some sections if you include neuro and x-rayx/cuts. I had a feeling that it is nearly impossible to prepare for anatomy so that you get all the qs right, because they can always get you on a small detail, but as long as you take your time to look over systems like abdomen, thorax, neck, pelvis noting the spatial relationship of organs to each other, where the main arteries are branching from, some unusual patterns of vascularizations, what makes the body walls then you would probably get most of the questions if not all. Regarding limbs, there would be couple qs for sure, but in addition to what is in FA it is good to know about smaller muscles in the hands.

I did not to Road Map to anatomy, can't really comment on it. Same with mol biology, I didn't do anything special for the exam, but I did use The Cell book when I was studying it earlier but it is way too detailed for the exam, can probbaly be used only to consult.

smile360,
well I only used Goljan RR and his lectures. It took time to go through his RR, and I realised later that as he mentions in his lectures this book is meant also for step 2, meaning some things in his book are not asked on Step1. But apart from RR it took me almost 4 moth just to be done with UWORLD, so I guess it is time consuming in any way. If you see improvment in your NBME scores, then you are probably doing a right thing.
