pshypyre Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 The VanRhee book is a really good book compared to the others out there, make sure it's the latest edition. I am also using USMLE Step 2 CK (deja review) as a quick reference. I did NOT like the AAPA book at all, felt it was a waste of money. Hope this helps!

gsmagh Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks a lot, i took jim van rhee's online kaplan course and the course notes are similar to the book. Yeah, i don't like AAPA book either but all muy seniors and fellow classmates who passed the exam highly recommended it. Anyways, thanks for your input.

Kaylaridge Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Hi gsmagh... I am debating between the Kaplan online review course or the Chicago course. Did you take the Kaplan course before or after your first attempt and either way, did you find it helpful? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmagh Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 i took kaplan course before first attempt. He was really good but what all he tells in the course, i believe everything is in his book too with additional 2 practice tests which are not offered in kaplan course. So, I won't recommend kaplan online review course. few of my classmates took chicago course, and they highly recommnded it. So, i am going to take it before my next attempt.

pshypyre Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I just took the 3 day "Chicago course" -- it was excellent!!! Before you go there they send you a 400Q pretest which you submit the first day. Before each lecture, rapid review questions are done where you have 30 seconds to answer (approx 10-15/lecture) which are reviewed at the end of the day. During the conference you are also given a 300Q post-test which is to be submitted the morning of the last day. You get to keep the pre/post test but are not allowed access to the rapid fire questions ... so out of 1000 questions, you keep 700 to review. It was intense, fast paced and exhausting but very good. Better than the 5 day/week long course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
