Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
When I was studying for my step 1s, I was really confused about either studying the BRS pathology or sticking with Goljan. After taking the test, I would have to say that you should probably stick with this book instead. It is concise and it covers most of the things you need to know for the boards. You can fill in the rest with USMLE qBank (which is a must).
Don't let others fool you into thinking that studying Goljan will actually raise your score. It will not. The book is good and it is comprehensive. But lets be honest with ourselves. Even if you read Goljan 10 times over, how much are you actually going to retain? The book is detailed and it is wonderful for reference. But for the purposes of the boards, BRS is enough.
Update: I got my score back and ended up getting 245/99. I read this book over twice and I honestly retained only 90% of the entire book. However, despite that BRS + Qbank = win. I know there are people on SDN saying that RR is the most godly book and that if you don't memorize it then you will never break 230. That is simply not true. To be honest, it doesn't really matter what resource you use. Just get one and stick to it. In my opinion the BRS is shorter and higher yield than other books and I will vouch for it.
