BOSS-USMLE Step-1

This home-study course consists of approximately 2000 multiple choice questions and answer with detailed explanations. It presents questions on topics and problems, involving both basic concepts and recent advances that are of key importance in the following basic science areas: Anatomy, Behavioral Sciences, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Pathology, Pharmacology and Physiology as well as interdisciplinary topics such as nutrition, genetics and aging. The questions are arranged in 2 sections. Section-I contains 500 questions with answers arranged in a subject-wise manner. This will help the student to get the hang of the exam format when he is going through the text books. Section-II contains 3 sets of 500 randomly intermixed, broadly based questions, integrated to simulate the format of the official examination. I have designed the explanations to reinforce and supplement the information tested by the questions. A list of books as well as a list of helpful websites has also been included.
