Index Tabs for First Aid USMLE Step 1 2026, 36th Edition, Color-Coded Laminated Tabs with Page Numbers, Alignment Card (Book not Included)

I love that the tabs have a page number so I didn’t even had to search around when applying the index tabs. The card template was so helpful and took the mental gymnastics out of this. The color coding for each section is also very helpful in addition to the section labels for “physiology/pathology” or “pharmacology” for examples.

Awesome for organization and studying for step 1.

Really affordable option for good tabs. Page numbers matched well

The colors are great and most of the tabs are great. But for no apparent reason each sheet has a chunk cut off. Makes some of the labels unusable.

I can't in fairness give them a 2, but they are more a 2.5 than a 3. I got these first, bc both say they are laminated and this is a good $6-7 cheaper. However, in reading reviews & so forth of the other product, others pointed out they are really just shiny stickers whereas the product is actually laminated. For reference: https://a.co/d/4DMkgSu. When I got these though, they were stuffed in my mailbox in a way that already put a crease. That's manageable, if I had to. These work, if there is nothing else. They are though definitely less. I included a picture of the others, which are truly laminated. You can feel the difference. Also, both say they have alignment cards, but if you look closely at these, they have a card, but no guide on how to use it. The assumption I guess is that you will do them all at once, so you if you just pay attention, you won't mess up. I can see though things that could go wrong, like accidentally starting on the wrong side or something. So you will have an alignment card that places them straight, but you could accidentally duplicate spots or something. The others have an alignment card that tells you exactly where, so I tried it out by doing some stuff at the beginning and some stuff at the end - more to show what I mean. The advantage is what if in this moment, I only need some sections. If I'm too busy to do all of it, I can do what I need and come back to it. (Med school is med school, and time is at a premium. The better ones have that little number in the corner. Also, these if you mess up (don't!), they are stuck already. You can safely move the others (unless you are a brute). So if you have the extra money, the others are worth it. They are qualitatively better. It's not even close. They are worth the extra too. I wouldn't say it's ridiculous. What you are getting is worth that kind of money. First Aid should color-code the book pages, but they don't. Other books I have do, so you keep up with what section you are in (like Costanzo). If you really don't have it, these are not terrible and can effectively get the job done. Just remember: stickers are stickers, so be careful when you put them on.

I absolutely love these! I used to rely on regular color-coded sticky notes, but these are so much better. Now, I can directly open the section I need to study without any hassle. They’ve made my study sessions so much more efficient, especially when I need to quickly switch between multiple sections. Highly recommend!
