Robbins Review of Pathology

Rating:
Summary: A must have for board review!
Review: Excellent color pictures, and an excellent way to review path. The questions are tough and the book is broken down by systems. This book goes well with either the Big Robbins or even Stars Review pathology since they are both organized by systems.

Summary: This is an old edition, get the 2nd edition (2005).
Review: I don't know why this is, but Amazon doesn't list the new edition unless you type in the ISBN number directly (0721601944). So I wanted to warn off others who might accidentally buy this version of the book.

Summary: Great Book for USMLE 1
Review: Okay so this book was my primary review book for Path for the Boards I loved the questions and explanations. I used it with First Aid. It has like 1100 questions and in my opinion completely reviews the most impt points in path for you in question format. The questions are very similar to the board in layout with the clinical presentations. Kaplans questions are similar to it but in my opinion this book offers more questions for path and the material is organized for a complete review. Just do like one block/chapter in it per day and read the explanations. This book is your best path review for the exam because its in question format!! My other review books that I liked were. In the Made Ridiculously Series the: Neuroscience, The Anatomy, especially Microbio Made Ridiculously Simple. For pharm and biochem first aid has all you need to know. BRS Physio is also excellent. These were my books hope it helps you.

Summary: Excellent for Comprehensive review of Pathology
Review: There are a tremendous amount of questions that encompass the content of Robbins Pathologic Basis of Disease. Helpful are the complete discussions of answers and why the wrong answers are wrong--along with references to the page number in Robbins, in case in don't believe them. The questions in this book tend to be from the challenging to ridiculous in terms of difficulty compared with USMLE Pathology questions; however, if you can master these questions, there is no doubt you will do very well on the USMLE or in your Pathology class. Well worth the [money].

Summary: An Excellent Companion for Any Usmle Review Book
Review: This is a very good test book. It is based on Robbins Pathology books. All pictures and slides are from Robbins books. It contains more than 1000 questions, mostly in clinical vignette format. Questions are very well prepared and reflect the clinical picture of each disease entity very well. Each chapter covers most of the needed items for USMLE Step 1. Answers are not exhaustive, but they are enough. I always recommend the combination of BRS Patholgy and this book as the best pathology source for Step 1.

Summary: Robbin's Review of Pathology
Review: This review is excellent for those who are preparing for USMLE Step I. The best part of this book is images and the explanation for them. In USMLE Step I, some questions will test you on similar images. Recommend using this book with the BRS Pathology.
