Questions
Before you decide.
Is this a replacement for my question bank?
No, and it isn't meant to be. Use your question bank for exam-style volume. Use the Complete Edition as the place you go to understand and review what you missed. It also includes 15 practice exam booklets of its own so you can test yourself as you read.
Will this help with USMLE Step 1 or COMLEX Level 1?
The guides cover the core sciences these exams draw on (physiology, pathology, pharmacology mechanisms, microbiology) and work as a review layer. They also serve as a clinical refresher for shelf exams and Step 2 CK. Pair them with a question bank and your school's curriculum.
Are the guides written for the US system?
They cover the core science behind USMLE Step 1 and COMLEX Level 1. You'll see the most common US drug names (epinephrine, acetaminophen, albuterol) used throughout, with international names noted alongside. For US-specific treatment guidelines and screening schedules, pair the notes with your school's curriculum and your usual resources.
Who writes the guides?
Doctors. Every Med Notes Guide study guide is written by doctors and structured for medical students' study and review.
What exactly do I receive, and how fast?
All 21 guides, the 15 practice exam booklets, the ABG handbook and the 12-week study plan, as digital PDFs. Your links arrive by email within minutes of payment and are also shown on the confirmation page.
Can I read them on my phone?
Yes. Read on a phone, tablet or computer. Open them online, or download the PDFs to keep, print or annotate on a tablet. Any PDF reader works.
How many practice questions are included?
The 15 practice exam booklets hold 3,400+ multiple-choice questions and 1,800+ short-answer questions, with answer keys, one booklet for each major system. They are in the same library as the guides, so every chapter has questions waiting.
What are the Study Boosters at checkout?
Two optional extras: 900 Flashcards (an Anki deck plus a printable PDF) for $12, and 21 High-Yield Summary Sheets (one page per guide, with page references back to the chapter) for $19. The $59 Complete Edition is complete without them.
Is it a subscription? Is it a physical book?
Neither. It's a one-time payment with lifetime access, and everything is digital. Nothing is shipped and nothing renews.
Can I see a sample before I buy?
Yes. Swipe through the free sample pages above: two full chapters from the Cardiovascular System guide, real pages, no sign-up.
Does it replace my textbooks and lectures?
No. It's a supplementary study and review resource. Use it alongside your lectures, textbooks and clinical training.
What if it isn't for me?
