The Best Review Book for step 1

This is, hands down, the best review book for step 1. It is not wordy. There is not a lot of fluff. You can probably read the entire book in just a few days with good retention. Works well in combination with First Aid for boards.

Best of the BRS series

There are only two great BRS review books. This (physiology) and the behavioral BRS are well organized, concise, and complete.

I did feel that the GI chapter in physio BRS was too detailed. Like the physiology of gastric motility...probably won't show up on the step 1 exam. The only high-yield GI physio topics are the GI hormones.

Other than that, the book covers everything and in just the right amountt of detail. You can read & understand it in 3-4 days, if you were good at physiology. 4-5 days (depending on how many hours you study a day) if you were sleeping during your physiology lectures in med school.

It my opinion the only physiology review book. Kaplan's lectures notes on physio would take too long to get through.

BRS: Physiology

This is a great book. It sums up each section of physiology into about 20 pages. Would definitely recommend.

good review

Not much substance or many explanations, but a well organized and pretty comprehensive review book.

fair-good

Use it at the beginning, while you don't know too many things. Otherwise it may seem too easy. Still it's a good book and before going to any review book, you should study this one.
