Constanzo Physiology vs Vander’s Physiology for IMAT?

General Discussion
1

Which should I study?

2

Vander’s will be a better choice. Constanzo is way too in-depth (so use it in medical school, but not for the IMAT)

The pages from my study planner are also enough by the way.

3

But how come Vander’s have more pages than Constanzo(707 vs 528)?

4

Sometimes longer books use more words to give more examples and simplify different concepts, while Constanzo relies heavily on background knowledge.

Pearson’s from my study planner covers everything. I remember checking other books back in 2019 and couldn’t find anything that matched it. While physiology is essential and complex on the IMAT, it’s going deeper than the superficial level you can find in many books, so just find a book that you like the writing style of.

This one, but in my study planner we use the 11th edition, which should also be much more affordable because it’s an older edition:
