Hey Raj89,
I would highly recommend Kaplan and the free phone apps like lippincott and stuff. That should be good enough...I did not read much though and I just did kaplan (only 700 questions) and then some lippincott. I passed on the first try. I was good in the knowledge stuff though. Depends if you need to know the stuff or review the stuff? Judge yourself and do the free kaplan questions...I dont even recall what they call (may be trainer or something)..they have upto 1-7. They are good. I did from 5-7 though and I found it helpful. Good luck
