Dear friends, I am very happy, too, that I can eventually write here...

Score 230/96

Exam: May 09
Score Report: May 30
Received: June 11

NBME 1: 520, 4 weeks before
NBME 2: 560, 3 weeks before
NBME 3: 510, 2 weeks before
NBME 4: 530, 10 days before

USMLE CDs: 42, 40, 44, 2 days before

Kaplan Qbank 65%
Kaplan simulated exam: 67%, 4 days before

First of all I want to thank Mars Aris. If it had not been for him, I would not have even thought about taking the exam, let alone achieving a 96...

I studied for 3 months. In my opinion First Aid, Usmleworld Qbank (although I just did a part of it in tutor mode) and Goljan are the gold standards. If you do not have time, focus on these...

I wasted too much time worrying, especially after I took the exam. Please, do not do it! You are going to feel you made thousands of mistakes! But... let it go and 99% the result is going to prove otherwise

You would be doing yourself a disservice by not doing all of USMLE World. I think it is a far better Qbank than kaplan in my opinion.

NBME1, 530 6 weeks ago
NBME2, 570 3 weeks ago

UW is definitely better than Kaplan.
