High quality
It is a high quality printed book. The pictures are clear. The way it is written is excellent.
Must have book for Step1
FA is basically the bible for med students, so here I am, worshipping at the altar of our lord and savior McGraw Hill. It's concise and to the point which makes studying easier and more efficient. I use it with Picmonic since they have a page by page follow along feature that lets me look up any mnemonics they have for the topics on a given page/chapter. Then I review everything with UWorld. I do wish I bought this sooner to help identify high yield info earlier on in school. Long story short, First Aid is a must-have for anyone preparing for Step 1!
Poor paper quality
The papers were normal a4 sheet, although it had authentic stick at back. Quality of the cover and book is so cheap this year. Manufacturer please update the quality
Good new additions, not so good printing...
I bought this even though I already owned the 2019 version, given that I am taking STEP 1 this year. The 2020 version is okay...it might have added new images and stuff but the page quality and printing feels like it was rushed, and is not as great as last year's. For some reason, the annotation space feels smaller than last year too.
One of the most important book for step 1
Best book to summarize and go over while preparing for usmle step1. Buying the 2nd time for my sister. Will definitely recommend for anyone preparing usmle step 1
Good Quality
Had to replace my 2019 version after my son ripped some pages out, and I actually prefer this version. Some people have complained about the quality of printing but I have not run into this issue. I received an authentic copy in perfect condition, so no complaints here. I plan on getting it spiral-bound at Staples so it’s a bit easier to manage. I did this to my 2019 version and highly recommend it.
Kindle eBook quality much worse than last year
Kindle eBook resolution way worse than 2019 edition, much less sharp and less readable.
High Yield Topics Condensed in One Book
I'm using this as I go through out medical school. It's really nice to have the need to know topics all in one place. And while I take my courses, I annotate as needed, so hopefully by the time I take STEP 1, everything will all be together.
Great as usual
Great book like all the First Aid books. A few minor improvements since the 2019 version.
LOVE
Brand new condition, no complaints!
