It's PART of what everyone should study for the step. It's not your bible, the whole enchilada, or even your last resort. With a strong foundation of actual, honest medical knowledge and a wide variety of sources, this will serve to drive home key concepts and jog your memory of tidbits long forgotten.Two things: first, cut the spine off and get it spiral bound at an office supply store. It's relatively cheap and infinitely more usable. Alternatively, you could cut the spine, three-hole punch it, and stick it in a binder. That offers the ability to insert your additional notes on pages in-between. Better graphs, flow charts, decision trees, etc... Secondly, do questions. Lots of them.For all you would be A-1 gunners out there, buy this first semester, fill it in and flesh it out as you go, chant repeatedly "this is a review text, not my primary source," and start doing board review questions as you study each semester's material. Pick a Q bank that isn't UWorld ( save that for actual test prep). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book REALLY IS PURE GOLD *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2008* First things first: This book = PURE GOLDYou HAVE to study before turning to this book. But once you do that, this book really points out extremely high yield info. ANYTHING in this book is in it for a reason. Don't start reading something and say "oh well i know that isn't important" BECAUSE IT IS!Also - this book is great for shelf exams, especially if you take them right after you finish the course. You'll already have been studying throughout the year, and going through First Aid will definitely suffice.I never really believed people, started listening to the negative reviews of the book....until I ran out of time...turned to this book and WOW ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended! *by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2008* I used this book in my step 1 studying and found it an extremely detailed and valuable resource.I recommend reading it over and over after you have gone over the reference books ie.Kaplan once.I initially did not want to get the book because of initial negative reviews, but once I started using it to study, It was something else...It pulls together high yield information in a concise and organized manner and I cant tell you how much I appreciated it after my exam especially as I had a great score three weeks later:) To get the best out of it you have to pay attention to little details....its not a summary book for nothing so if you gloss over it you probably will not get the best out of it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/170517771-first-aid-for-the-usmle-step-1-2008-first-aid](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/170517771-first-aid-for-the-usmle-step-1-2008-first-aid) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
