I will contribute to this thread because it helped me stay calm the last couple of weeks, because my only assessment was UW score which turned out to be a good assessment (taken in mixed unused timed mode)
Preparation time 3.5 months (but it took me a year to collect my courage and start)
UW (the month prior to exam date): ranging from 58% (first block) - 90% (last block)
73% cumulative, complete, timed mixed unused blocks of 50
no NBMEs
no USMLE CD
Exam taken on July 18th, score reported on August 8th, and received in mail on August 22nd
99/248

Wooooooooow! I never even imagined a year ago that I could be posting in this thread. My only tip to my successors is not to be overwhelmed by Step 1, it is a totally achievable exam!
1. NBME (Test 1) - 530
2. NBME (test 2) - 570
I took both of them like 4-5 days before my actual exam
3. Kaplan Q-Bank (didn't repeat questions, but did all of them) - 72
4. USMLE World Q-Bank (didn;t repeat questions but did all of them) - 68 (overall). Towards the end my scores were better touching the mid 70s and even reached the 80s sometimes.
5. Kaplan's Q-review CD - high 70s.
6. USMLE CD (that is sent by ECFMG) - average acore for all 3 blocks was 46 (I took it 2 days before my actual exam)
7. Step 1 exam date - 17.07.2007.
Score report date - 08.08.2007.
I received my score on 22.08.2007.
Step 1 score : 240/99
All the best doctors! Your SUCCESS day is near!

224/91 (study 4 months)
Kaplan 3 months 68%
Qbook 65-70%
usmle cd: 35,40,38
nbme 1: 470(3months bf exam),
nbme 2: 560(1week bf exam),
Book: First aid only.
well, the reason why I write this is to encourage those who only see 99..99..99s in this forum, I'm sure they are the best, but trust me, there are weaker scores exist like me...
I would say Q bank was very helpful, the real exam was between Q bank and nbme, many, many basic concept, which I did few of them wrong....so, basic concept is very important, although the exam is clinical based...but what they finally asked is the basic knowledge.
I think my biggest mistake is not using Kaplan notes, which I didn't have at the beigininig of my study, and I just prefered to memorize short text vs long ones...
overall, the exam was doable, just keep studying...and good luck!!! plz post even you are not 99er...thanks!

24 year-old dominican medical graduate.
Average student in med-school, finished with a GPA of 3.1.
Exam date: july 26th, 2007
E-score reported: August 16th, 2007
USMLE score: 239/99
-Kaplan Q-Bank
Cumulative score: 67% (unused, mixed and timed)
% completed: 100%
Started 5 months before exam / Finished 2 months before exam
-USMLE World
Cummulative score: 72% (unused, mixed and timed)
Percentile: around 80th-81st
% completed: 100%
Started 2 months before exam / Finished 1 week before exam
-NBME 1: 590/238 (1.5 months before exam)
-NBME 2: 640/247 (5 days before exam)
-USMLE CD: 45, 43, 46 (89%) [1 week before exam]
Study material: Kaplan notes and First Aid (plus a little bit of Goljan for cardio, nephro and nutrition)
Real exam was similar in difficulty to USMLE world in 3 blocks, tougher in 2 blocks, and easier (more like kaplan q-bank) in 2 blocks. Regardless of the level of difficulty, the exam in itself "feels" very different from any of the other questions from the Q-banks and nbme's.
