First Aid for the USMLE Step 1 2025

great

Page quality is not that bad. I was scared after reading reviews.

Unfortunately, this book is a huge downgrade from the previous version. The pages are very similar to colored photocopy prints that’s faded. The copy that was delivered to me has a dog-ear on the cover.Im sure the content is great but the print was really unsatisfactory.

Delivered on time but Poor Paper quality

It came in perfect condition and with no errors

This is the latest edition and the quality is top notch and the ink for all the pictures is fantasticGood luck to all med students - Yarmouk University

Llego perfecto !

Ok there guys so let me start by saying I owned the 2019 version so I kinda can compare decently between old and latest one.First of all, at least in my experience, cover quality has heavily decreased; not only can you feel it’s way thinner and flimsier, but also it scratches quite easily, this is exactly how the book arrived straight out of the box and you can see scuffing and scratches along the cover, which I don’t thinks it’s a shipping problem considering how well package and protected this was.Second issue I’ve found, and as it has been mentioned before, it’s that the actual pages are WAY thinner that they used to be; in my 2019 copy I had no problem writing with any marker or pen and had no bleeding but with this one I’m scared on using anything other than gel pen. Third and last thing is the ink, not so visible on your average page but wherever there’s heavy inking you’ll notice it easily.I should admit that with the change of paper a good amount of glare has reduced (only positive in comparison to previous versions) which makes it easier to the eyes.At the end of the day if you own a previous physical version on or after 2023 I would stick with it cause the changes are minimal and for the price I expected much more.
