[ArchivalUser]

i didnt like it...worsen than fa, very short! but has good sum tables and graphs, i only liked those, ,,,,howevr, i see ppl say more about fa than KME.

usmle_step123 : why dont u have a look at it and see how it looks like for u ? dont wast ur time here and there....ppll say: if a book dont work for u ....even if several ppl say that is a good book, dont go for it and versus. i think if u have plenty of time, it is worth to mix it with fa and as Harrypotter says...( i hate both books!!)...but as i said, there are some tables, sum, and graphs that would be good for a rapid review....this is only my thoughts!!! i asked the same question and i couldn't find so many ppl who had used it before, u should see if it works for u, dont use it as the first reading!!that would freak u out!!
