Designed for students preparing for: - USMLE Step 1- Course examsDesigned to help you recall and review important information: - focus immediately on USMLE-tested material- drastically reduce the time... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Unfortunately, I did not discover this text until it came time to study for USMLE step 1. Most in my medical school class read the Lippincott Illustrated Review Book as a primary text. In medical school I read the entire biochem textbook (stryer). This BRS book is awesome. It is in outline format and has all of the information you could be tested on. I made it through it in just a few days when studying for step 1. This is a much quicker read than the other Lippincott book. I highly recommend it. Worked very well in combination with First Aid for Step 1. Would also be helpful to use as an additional resource during class.

What I liked about this book was the details regarding metabolic pathways and how she puts them all together, much better then high yield, I also used her book for my bio chem course as well, Lipincotts has great diagramms, but this book for me was even more helpful
An Excellent Source for Step 1

When I was preparing for step 1, I bought this book as an alternative to "Lippincott's Illustrated Biochemistry". I did not have enough time for that book and other books were too short. At first I was skeptical, but when I started reading the book, everything changed. I studied it in 5 days and I could not believe how well prepared I was. I had no problem during the test. This book gives you a very good understanding of biochemistry as a whole picture. It has some unnecessary chemistry details that you can skip. Also questions are not clinically oriented, so try to use another test book. The author of the book has done a terrific job in summarizing and choosing subjects that are important for test. It has good illustrations that help you visually remember material.
great review

This is a concise review of biochem for the boards. Dr. Marks explains things and is able to put them in an outline form so you are not reading endless text. The questions at the end of each section are really helpful.
the best biochem review book

This book is outstanding for use while taking class and then reviewing material for Boards. Clear and concise. The diagrams are clear and somehow stick in your head. Questions at end of chapters are really good. Good explanations too. Easy to read. Better than Lippincott for Board review...many more questions and more high yield material.
