Social networking for USMLE takers

Quick questions to my regular blog readers.
Are you using any of the social networks to communicate with your USMLE peers?

Please answer in the comments to this post.
Your opinion is very important for me.

Step 1 Notes 2009

Kaplan Step 1 Notes 2009 edition is now available for all USMLE takers. You can get them (2008/2009) if you are attending the Kaplan Live Center and paid full fee for attendance.


An alternative would be to look for Kaplan Step 1 Notes 2008/2009 edition on Ebay.
Another alternative would be to ask from your friends - some of them might have these new notes already and can share them with you.

If you are constantly on the move - then you might consider getting scanned notes instead of hardcopy notes.

USMLE Step 2 Lectures 2008/2009 edition

Many friends asked me about USMLE Step 2 Lectures published in 2008/2009.
Unfortunately, I have not heard of these videos on the grey market. Kaplan Step 2 Videos have been released in 2002/2003. Although some people keep referring to them as 2006 or even 2007 step 2 kaplan lectures, in reality this is 2002/2003 Step 2 Lectures.

On the other side - medicine is not IT science and is not changing every 3 years.
So, stick to whatever materials you have and keep fingers crossed...
Good luck in your Exam!
