I found this book very informative. It basically teachs you how to be likeable and improve professional as well as personal relationships. The examples are a bit outdated but the points remain up to date.
In my opinion this kind of stuff should be taught in schools.

It's one honest approach to how the audition process works and to approach it professionally. Give it a read and you may find something that works for you!

It expresses the need for the modern professional to build their reputation online and goes about it in detail, step by step. Would reccomend.

Since using this trainer my practice average scores have shot up about 12 points. I can hit the 155 mark pretty well now and hopefully can get the extra push towards solid 160-165 with more practice. If you are on a budget like me this is a sure investment along with some real practice exams.

Some of us need praise. Some of us need accolades. Some of us just need a good, swift kick in the ass. If you want to write, and can tolerate looking in the mirror long enough to have a good laugh, then buy this book. Do it, or don't.

This is an excellent book for professionals who can take the time to learn to give this kind of informal reading assessment. The format is very organized, clear, and easy to read. The author has numerous years of experience as a teacher/educator and it is apparent in the assesment he has designed. The information the assessment generates is very useful.

You cant go wrong with food topics or educational pursuits which will increase your social status, give you higher self-esteem, and enable you to possibly advance in your career.  Whether it be wine, recipes, how to or public speaking, it may give you a pointer that will help you in some position to enhance your life.  Self help and/or books with situations and outcomes are great for motivational self training. Being able to give pointers in social situations  dinners  hey, did you see that recipe for *** is a great conversation starter and can get more people to join in the discussion.  Good idea, in my opinion.

HIGH VOLUME / LOW PRESSURE SPRAY GUN VERY IMPORTANT IN GETTING A VERY GOOD FINISH ON ANY PROJECT. IF YOU WANT PROF. RESULTS CHOOSE PROFESSIONAL TOOLS. YOU WILL NOT BE  SORRY.

Sure, be the trusted advisor, someone who never gets anything wrong. LOL The philosophy is good, but quite hard in practice. The other key take away is that you always work for your client's best interest. That's how you build trust. I'd say more important than that is you SHOW how your actions benefit them even at your own expense. Otherwise, they won't even realize how good they have it

It won't be a long review. Just buy it, read it and apply it and you'll become the person you ever dreamed to be. It will give you the opportunity to live your dream if you do the exercices. You can also  do the same with PERSUASION ENGINEERING from  Richard Bandler too. Be happy for the rest of your life, that's the  risk.

First Aid is your medschool bible.. even if you are done with step 1.

First just to make this relevant and have validity I'm a medical student that scored a 244 on step 1. Not the best score out there but 240+ is really what you should be aiming for to keep your options open. If you are like me you only attend the mandatory things which accumulates to ~8hrs of class a WEEK (beware because that goes to 10+hrs a DAY in 3rd year... the year when medical school really starts...) and living the dream of being in your 20s and were not aware what step 1 was until midway through 2nd year. So you want only the high yield materials.

You need 2 things and BRS as a reference:
1) USMLEworld Qbank (I'd recommend all random questions in 46q blocks. Mix between timed and read answer after question mode) This is the best resource for your score PERIOD. I went with the 3 month trial which is what I would recommend.
2) FirstAid - This is a must. Make sure to get the color version which started in 2012. Dedicate a week to read once in the beginning/midway of 2rd year so your familiar with all the terms and reread 1 or 2 more times.
3) BRS PATH - In retrospect, I wish i would have read more of this. I read it for the more confusing path sections like repro. A section takes ~1-1.5 hr to complete and you are an expert. I looked through Goljan because people in my program wouldn't STFU about it but after glancing at it for a couple minutes I realized I just wasted ~$40.... LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE. I have an old edition of robbin's which pathologists love. It is a very solid book but very low yield. IMO Harrison's has a better more relevant path section. Again, grab color edition of BRS... black and white just makes you fall asleep for some reason.

After you finished 1 and 2 references and supplemented with BRS take a NBME exam... my program provided us with one exam. Take the newest one. If you go to bed at 10pm stay up until 3am when you think you would perform worst from being sleep deprived incase that happens on test day (which apparently it does to everyone because I've never heard of someone not giving this as an excuse even if they performed well on this exam). That score is very indicative in my experience. No need to take 5... if your like me in max student loans and have a balance on 4 credit cards you can spend your $$$ on something more useful like the new World of Warcraft expansion.

This was my strategy. There's no magic study strategy. You reap you sow. Since the first two years of medschool are like college undergrad,if you are doing it right, you are probably bored the majority of your time. So just put in 3-4 hours a day on weekdays to complete a block of qbank.

Good luck. Pick a test date and keep it.

*Remember there will be a lot of peers using performance enhancing stimulants. Do you need to take those to keep up? Of course NOT. You don't need 'em. And remember - leave the excuses/whining at home.

*There are also many students whining/crying on here over ~20 minor errors that are mostly irrelevant and will not impact your score/fund of knowledge. Med students are going to be med students. Be glad such a resource like this exists. Just with this book alone you can hit the national avg score of 226. Supplementing Qbank should pull you past 240.

Other references to keep around:
Harrison's(Sacred text... better than any resource out there. You read this cover to cover and I want you as my personal physician. 10/10 stars)
emedicine.medscape.net (IMO best online source... uptodate is 2nd)
wikipedia (no explanation needed)
Micro made ridiculously simple
First aid 2 CK
If any physician talks.... listen... especially an internal med doc of 10+ years.
