never did BSS myself. As for qbank, it's the same questions if you get 1 month or 3 months. if you can't afford the 3 months, and still want access, you can buy the 1 month, and copy every question. if you download opera (instead of internet explorer) from www.opera.com, it will let you highlight, copy, and past the questions into a word document. it's a lot of work to copy and paste 2100 q's, but if you really want to, yuc an. also, if you're only going to do qbank for 1 month, then you should definitely dedicate your time to it and finish it.
good luck,
am

Kaplans Q-bank is no doubt a good investment. One month package is enough I guess. Take it after giving at least 2 readings and should complete it at least one week before the exam.
you may buy a CD of questions. You can do one block daily with explanations. Also do q-book, that comes with Kaplans review books or lecture notes.
I think it might help you!
Best of luck!

Hi monica!!!
I think idea of going for the cd of qbank is good.
or you can do the way ahdy told,keep questions copied.
And yes i do agree,its not a good idea to touch those BSS books now.
Do que bank thoroughly,and if you are buying from ebay,i will suggest try to get as much as possible.I mean with qbank,you can get IV qbank,BSS qbank,NMS qbank...i had got the cd deal like that on ebay.
so you will get lot of them.
Its better to do lot of questions!!!
You will realise the importance of doing lots of them once you give the exam :wink:
Study hard...!!!!
And all the best!

sorry for replying late,hope ur doing fine,like everyone said,it always helps to follow a single set of books and refer to other books if u have doubts,Kaplan Q bank is worth doing,it really helps,i did questions after i finished reading the subjects twice,and another important thing to do through in Goljan notes,i managed to listem to it twice,if u have any doubts,we will all help u form whatever u know.
take care,u can do it,believe me,we were all in the same situation,confused,the forum helpes us a lot,gave a lot of confidence,got introduced to a lot of friends.

Monica-Docarjun is definitely giving veteran -like advice.
You have a lot of time(hope you are not working)BSS is more difficult
and takes time to go through but the explanations are decent. BSS is like a marathon of qs some 4000 (I can not say that Ive done them)
Bottom line point-As Docarjun said get as MANY questions as you can!
" You will realize the importance of them when you take the exam!"
In pure slang that is a money statement!!! :idea:
