I also bought BRS Physio ! I am also planning to do BRS + Kaplan video. BRS + online qbank is good but I think along with the video u get the best of both . anyways BRS physio is way way better than Kaplan physio
BRS physiology is easy to understand n learn
while i believe kaplan physio is too confusing
so u will nt miss anything if u do kaplan videos along with BRS physio
They say that they've made some changes to the new KLN physio. It may have become better. But rating on the previous KLN, i'd say BRS physio is better.
what about the kaplan videos along with brs? Are the videos really good? Do they explain the material so it becomes easier to read physio Or do they just read off the slides?
It's my understanding that kaplan physio videos are very good. Especially the ones by Prof. James White.
In my case, i'm understanding so well, thank God, just by reading BRS 2 times. It's awesome. I really feel that if I were to see those videos (which I planned) would be a waste of time. They would be explaining something that I already have a good grip of.
If you feel like you need it, then I do recommend the videos. Out of kaplan, physio, pharm and biochem are the best to watch. I am basing this on extensive research that I made right before the beginning of my prep on many forums.
im doing physiology now to be honest to everyone if your background in physiology is strong do brs right away if not do kaplan + the videos
i really find it understand full easy to digest cuz it uses step by step explanation nothing compare to brs which throws the facts with minimal explanations ..
when i started i used to read brs get the explanations from sherwood but it took me more time then i used to go into wikipedia i thought about trying kaplan i founded it greater simplifying what u need
i did both i liked kaplan with videos more to be honest so i focused on kaplan + the neuro chap in brs with revision of every chapter in brs i would say if ur an old graduate do kaplan with videos if not do brs
I'm doing BRS + HY... I know, some people think that HY physiology is bad but I found it really good (easy to read and to understand some concepts that are hard for me in BRS), I think that the tables and graphics are an excelent complement to BRS. If you have the time (and money), my advice is to read HY to BRS and forget about Kaplan. :redcheeks;
BRS physiology is one of those books that if you have a relatively good understanding of phyio and just need to refresh on the high yields or get a reminder of some facts then you just open it up and take a peak.
Kaplan has some awesome videos that explain some of the bigger picture physiology to you, I wasn't a big fan of their book though.
