You will definitely need the qbank (not the IV version). I am using the Pass videos, and their HY notes. It helps you make great connections.

Purchase the goljian lectures early as they are very helpful when you take Pathology. You can purchase the lectures on ebay or just ask around as many SMU students would be glad to share it with you.

Sorry, I'm not an SMU'er, but just thought I'd post. :)

First Aid, Goljan audios, Goljan summaries (36 and 44 page), Kaplan books (and the videos if u can afford to take the course), Step Up (good system based book).

Q-bank (get the regular one...the IV one is a waste). Robbin's Review of Path questions were really good too.

Good luck!

Just wanted to say that the Pass videos are superb. I haven't seen all of them, am just half way through, and the connections this guy draws are amazing. I took the NBME self assessment and my score jumped 21 points from a previous test (after watching half the videos).

Here is what I have been using so far:

1- Pass videos (2 1/2 hours a day)
2- Pass notes (15 pages a day: review what I saw)
3- Pass PPT slides: do 30 slides a day
4- 50 qbank questions
5- Goljan lectures (1 hour per day)
6- Read one chapter of Goljan's Path review (the STAR version)

This takes me about 6-8 hours.

The kaplan videos along with the kaplan books we have are pretty good. You just have to be dedicated.
