Hi,
this is Dr. Brus-Ramer, president of Elite Medical Prep. I wanted to add some thoughts and specific pieces of advice.
Your story is really disappointing to hear. One's family is usually their bedrock, especially in really tough moments such as this. The USMLE Step 1 is so much harder than non-medical people can understand. The mental toll is immense.
Here is the specific advice I wanted to add. There is good scientific evidence that would support that your current learning struggle will ultimately be very beneficial to your learning and work as a physician, and possibly show up positively on your Step 1 performance. Recently I began listening to the audiobook, 'Range' by David Epstein which lays out the thesis that early struggles in learning can lead to far better and more durable learning and stronger outcomes later on. One of the key pieces of evidence is the work by the UCLA researcher Robert Bjork, who seems to have coined the term 'desirable difficulties' in the context of improved learning and skill development, acquisition and application.
Right now you are struggling and your family is not particularly helpful at this moment. However, if you can take a step back and see this struggle as something that can make you stronger and more mentally durable, you may come out on the other side with far better performance than you have had so far. If you are looking for more motivation or sources for inner strength at this tough moment, I would also suggest reading/audio booking 'Can't Hurt Me: Master Your Mind and Defy the Odds' by David Goggins. This is one of the most powerful autobiographies I have ever read, and it has a self-help component built into the audiobook version that is totally awesome and zero BS.
Hope this helps. Best of luck with your journey.
I'm currently taking anatomy and the [High Yield Anatomy] (https://www.amazon.com/High-YieldTM-Gross-Anatomy-High-Yield-Ronald/dp/1451190239/ref=dp_ob_title_bk) has been a life saver.
It's the best: concise & practical. Much better than BRS, much better than my textbook (Moore's.)
Standalone it's not enough though. I would complement it with an Atlas, Netter's is what I'm using, and practice questions. I like Gray's.
Kaplan lecture videos have been immensely helpful in understanding both the anatomy & embryology. I recommend them immensely. But if you don't want to opt for a subscription, the Noted Anatomist on YouTube will help you digest the High Yield review book. (I would opt for the subscription though.)
Our Med school's anatomy and embryology course is not only conjoined, but lasts a total of three-months. So if you want to cram anatomy, yet learn it well, consider what I write.
Best of luck :)
It's a collection of books, I'll leave link of one of the books. It's basically a book which only includes questions and long explanations. I always use it when I'm done with module, and although It's question practice, it teaches me a lot. You identify little parts that you've not heard before or forgot about, and those questions are just wonderful to widen your knowledge. Here's a link of physiology book, but they have books for every subject: https://www.amazon.com/Physiology-PreTest-Self-Assessment-Review-14/dp/0071791426/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1551029078&sr=8-1&keywords=pretest+physiology
