For Micro, the Lange book is really good. I also highly recommend Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously simple (it's the best one in the series). BRS isn't bad and has good questions, but you don't need it if you have lange (my opinion). I also have the pretest micro book which has lots of good questions. First Aid is pretty good for micro/immuno, but you should buy that anyway for reviewing all of your classes.

Summary: Need Lange, Micro MRS possibly (very good), and First Aid

For Psych, the books on the list are the Fadem textbook and high yield. I had both of those, but I also bought the behavioral brs, which I liked best of all. You should get the Fadem text, but I really prefer the brs to high yield behavioral (all 3 books are written by the same author). I mostly used brs, but used the fadem text some also (didn't use high yield at all).

Pathology...Definitely buy the big Robbins book. The brs path is the top brs in the series (along with the physio brs), but it's not always good in path I. I would still suggest getting it. Also, you need to find the webpath cd somewhere.

Other than that, there are a bunch of e-texts floating around that you should get (eg. pretest books, etc).
