First Aid for the Boards 1994 [antikvár]

Preface to the 1994 Edition With the 1994 edition of First Aid for the Boards, we continue our commitment to providing students with the most useful and up-to-date preparation guide for the USMLE Step 1. The 1994 edition represents a major revision in many ways and includes: ¦ Revisions based on student experience with the June and September 1993 administrations of the USMLE Step 1. ¦ A revised and updated guide to efficient exam preparation, including a checklist for exam preparation, new study and test-taking strategies, a more detailed profile of the Step 1 exam, new illustrations and diagrams, an expanded listing of commercial review courses, and a new section on what to do if you think you failed. ¦ An expanded and updated database of frequently tested facts and useful mnemonics, including a new physiology section. ¦ An augmented listing of over 240 high-yield study topics that highlight key areas of basic science and clinical material emphasized on the USMLE Step 1. ¦ An expanded, in-depth guide to over 110 basic science review and sample examination books with a new rating scale to help students choose books from an increasingly crowded field. It must be noted that the 1994 edition would not have been possible without student and faculty feedback and suggestions. We invite students and faculty to continue sharing their thoughts and ideas to help us improve First Aid for the Boards. (See How to Contribute, p. xiii, and User Survey, p. xxi.)
