Wellness Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 So, I am starting to buy equipment and books for my program. I was wondering if students tend to use review books, mainly PPP, during didactic or just the clinical years. I would hate to buy it and have it sit on my shelf for 15 months.

Maynard Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Get the books. I recommend both PPP and the Babcock-O'Connell book, but if you're gonna get one then get Babcock-O'Connell. If you really want to be economical, be frugal with your big expenses (education, car, apartment) and your habitual/daily expenses (e.g. food and drink). I know so many PA students who blow hundreds of dollars on beverages alone and then get stingy about thirty dollar books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodododi Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'm using Pance Prep Pearl with my clinical modules every day. Great book! I also use O'Connell's review book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DejaBlu Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I agree....the Pance Prep Pearls 2nd Edition is great! Be careful when ordering because there are pirated copies out there. I bought one from Amazon that smelled like gasoline and rubber tires and had a typo on the front cover. It was gross. I sent it back for a credit and re-order the "non-pirated" version. Also, one of my classmates took his copy to OfficeMax and got it spiral bound so it's easier to manage. I think I'm going to do the same thing. Also, the Babcock/O'Connell book is great! (it's lime green and white with blue writing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaspas2019 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 There's also a PPP question book that goes along with PPP and tells you what page to reference for clarification if you get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
