Reddit mentions of Rapid Review Pathology: With STUDENT CONSULT Online Access

This is an unpopular opinion at my school, but I loved big Robbins. It has all of the information that is included in my school's lectures and my USMLE review book, as well as more in depth explanations of the material. I liked to read the chapters all the way through and take notes/make flashcards as I was learning the material, but then when reviewing, I just skim the pages for the topic I'm interested in and find a really quick summary of the important points in the "Key Concepts" sections and the images/tables in each section. I did read Lilly for heart disease during my M1 year, but during M2, I almost exclusively used Robbins + anki flashcards. It has helped prepare me really well for all of my exams so far in medical school.

If big Robbins is still too dry/time consuming for you, the Rapid Review of Pathology book contains a lot of information in an outline format that is very conducive to pre-test review.

For me, Pathoma was good for a few lectures (hematology, maybe cardio), but like you, I find it too time consuming for the information payout when compared to other review methods. I would say that if you have the time, definitely watch the videos, but don't use it as your only method of studying. This is just my personal opinion, but I know that sometimes people post here looking for a lot of different study strategies in order to find one they identify with. Good luck on your test!
