Immuno

[HeyMcfly]

Does anyone know of any good resources for immunology, or does First Aid cover the topics well enough?

first aid is good for immunology, and I also like step up...

i've heard people recently saying they were surprised about the amount of immuno on their exam... guess it just depends on yours.

kaplan (organ systems 2005) has a nice 100 pages on immuno. pretty good stuff.

There is a high yield for immuno that is supposed to be very good. I am doing it next week, I can tell you more then...

I started using the high yield and I really like it. I will be honest and say that I feel as if I have a strong background in Immunology, but I definitely like the HY and think it is a fast read. I think 2 days is good for it!

First Aid is NOT ENOUGH for the immuno section at least from my experience. First aid is a good template=some are straight from the book but very few....I would say First Aid is good if you can read between the lines...I mean understand the entire mechanism that they are trying to convey with a sentence or two. I left thinking about some of my friends who were planning on learning everything for the boards...they learned it just to pass before and they are trying to catch up and learn all the rest for the boards. This will be a very difficult task so plan your schedule accordingly.

PS: I tried to do it the "right" way from the beginning but of course I did not do EVERYTHING as well as I could have and I have no idea how I did on my exam. I am concerned about the outcome and I wonder if everyone who has completed the exam feels this way or if some know that they have passed or know that they did well or even if they definitely bombed. I usually can tell which is why I am concerned.

by the way.. I also listened to kaplan and goljan, integrated kaplan into FA; and read Step Up, and now integrating kaplan, goljan, FA, and step up.... also had class notes from the basic sciences in FA....

Bean, from what I have read from others that have taken the exam and been told to me personally.. most felt that they did not know either way, just glad to get it over with... and found out that they passed; good luck to you, and think positive thoughts!!!
