Goljan RR Taking Too Long!

[dream clearusmle]

I am studying Goljan rapid review for pathology but it is taking a lot of time
so confused whether i should continue with Goljan or start reading other book like Kaplan
please help

[Dr.NickRiviera]

kaplan - no.

for pathology either do goljan or pathoma.
i'd recommend pathoma.

hey, if u r doing goljan, continue it......its best for pathology.....though its lengthy but will help u a lot ahead in ur course.......

[ehtisham]

stick to Goljan if you are not planning to appear in this year match ...... its the best book for pathology and gives you an integrated approach towards pathology which is required for steps ..... this is what I have done

don't leave in the middle. its worth all the time it takes

[irakly]

don't leave ,goljan rr is the best !yes u are right it takes a lot of time but believe it's not waste of time and after chapter 13,14 it will be go easy .
good luck

I have been studying it for about a month now...In the beginning I was thinking the same...But Now I am enjoying it...and should be done with it for the first reading in about a week or so ,if everything went according the plan.

Believe me every minute spent on it is worth it.
Try to do Patho Questions, along with it,from Offline UW...You will feel better with your progress,even if you get a few questions right in the whole block.

Good Luck

thanks
i will continue with goljan and try to finish it at the earliest

[dockhi]

Yup, I was there too! But it ends, trust me. Try not to spend extreme amounts of time on one concept/page, just be consistent, and it will end!! G'luck

[kdm0101]

just one suggestion not an advice because we all have our strengths n weaknesses. dont spend too much time between first n second read of this book.I mean the gap should be as small as possible otherwise the second read becomes kind of frustrating because in your mind you have read it all but u still forget it

Should we read his pdf lectures and voice along with book or book is enough?
