These are high-yield review resources of the topics and facts most likely
to come up on your exam and are meant to be used alongside your
coursework long in advance of your Step 1.
7. First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 ($27-$45) - The bible of the
preclinical years. You should be reading and annotating this
book alongside your regular coursework from the beginning
of medical school. By the time you reach your dedicated
study period for boards, you should have completed a few
full passes through the material.
8. Pathoma ($99/year) - A popular resource created by Dr.
Hassan Sattar lauded for its clear outline format and video
lectures. Its not a replacement for First Aid, but can be a
useful complement if you have extra time and are at least 36 months out from your exam.
9. Goljan Rapid Review ($45) - Preceded Pathoma as the goto pathology resource. Many students have relied upon
Goljans audio recorded lectures, although these are
technically bootlegged and unofficial. Like Pathoma, you
want to give yourself plenty of time to get through this.
one full reset and should aim to complete two full passes
through the material.
2. USMLE-RX ($249) - Made by the creators of First Aid (i.e. Tao
Le and Vikas Bhushan), this resource is great to start using
one-year out from your exam alongside your coursework
and First Aid. Otherwise, if you have extra time after going
through UWorld this should be the next QBank you pick up
for solid practice.

exam.
Happy studying!
