Which one to read BRS Physiology or Kaplan Lecture Notes?

I started reading through Costanzo physiology. Both the big book, and then went through the BRS. it's pretty easy reading, and doesn't seem bad at all. then out of curiosity, i checked out the kaplan vids for cardio, and Dr. K goes into MUCH MORE detail on things like valves/murmurs ,and...

I know its a little overkill for step 1. But after reading through the online consult version, I decided that no matter what, I WILL find time to read this gem of a book! Also, the pages just seem to fly by, because not only does Costanzo make everything so simple, but the author also makes...

Hi all ,, I've been reading BRS Behavioral science for epidemiology and biostatistics, though ,, I noticed both Epidemiology and Biostatistics chapters in this book nearly around 10 pages ,, seems much less than even Kaplan lecture notes ,,, Should BRS be enough for Epidemiology and...

Which one should I read? My physio is a little bit hazy so im inclining towards the large text version...then again, it's taking me forever Thanks.

To all the experienced step 1 test takers. Is it good enough to read BRS physio 3 times for step 1, and understanding the basics only? I don't know extreme details and a few basic stuff here and there but nothing in physio seems new to me. I was hoping I could tweak the rest of my physio by...
