Anyone using Syllabuster for 8M?

I hope this isn't a repeat post, but I didn't have time to search and read everything. If so, sorry!

Is anyone is using the Syllabuster, do you find it really "replaces the textbooks" like Sugar says? I feel like it's a little light. Even in the detailed study notes he summarizes about 20 pages of text in like 4 or 5 outline pages.

Thoughts?

I'm using Syllabuster as well. I agree that it's light, but that's what's great about it. I'm fairly confident anything that they would test on is in the guide. Keep in mind that a lot of times he skips over topics in particular study notes that are repeated elsewhere in more detail.

Notice that Phil Sugar condenses the syllabus from 1700 pages to about 500 in his Detailed Outline. One important list he overlooked (and was asked on last year's exam) was the one on different clinical groups used for risk adjustment methods. That list included Adjusted Clinical Groups, Medicaid Rx groups, etc. I'm using Syllabuster as my primary study guide and filling in the gaps with GRASP.
