Preface
These 7 volumes of Lecture Notes represent the most-likely-to-be-tested material on the current USMLE Step 1 exam. Please note that these are Lecture Notes, not review books. The Notes were designed to be accompanied by faculty lectures live, on video, or on the web. Reading them without accessing the accompanying lectures is not an effective way to review for the USMLE.
To maximize the effectiveness of these Notes, annotate them as you listen to lec tures. To facilitate this process, we've created wide, blank margins. While these margins are occasionally punctuated by faculty high-yield "margin notes:' they are, for the most part, left blank for your notations.
Many students find that previewing the Notes prior to the lecture is a very effec tive way to prepare for class. This allows you to anticipate the areas where you'll need to pay particular attention. It also affords you the opportunity to map out how the information is going to be presented and what sort of study aids (charts, diagrams, etc.) you might want to add. This strategy works regardless of whether you're attending a live lecture or watching one on video or the web.
Finally, we want to hear what you think. What do you like about the Notes? What could be improved? Please share your feedback by e-mailing us at medfeedback@ kaplan.com.
Thank you for joining Kaplan Medical, and best of luck on your Step 1 exam!
