Took exam on 25th May...received my score on 19th June...I was not home so probably the score came earlier.....The Thursday preceding this OASIS was not updated early in the morning...later I cudn't acess the net so cudn't check,maybe it got updated later in the day........Score is 84/206......
I read KAPLAN notes only once..Psychiatry not even once fully,coz I had li'l time & relied on step 1 Beh. Sc. memory.....Just read half of Psychiatry...left the statistics & rest,only read actual mental illnesses part...Medicine 2nd read was very superficial & very quick...the rest of the subjects I read only once....did 1250 only usmleworld questions,random & timed,did not have time to complete teh full usmleworld q-bank.....
KAPLAN Q-BOOK: 66%
KAPLAN DIAGNOSTIC ON 30TH NOV 2005 (long be4 startinf reading for CK): 56%
KAPLAN DIAGNOSTIC on 15th MAY 2006: 75%
USMLE CD: 41/46, 32/46, 38/46
USMLEWORLD: 56%
Prep time: 5 months. Did not do NMBE or anything else.
I majorly panicked in my 1st block & ran out of time.....11 q left in 5 mins!! Phewwww! I was abt. to give up...BUT TAHNK GOD I DID NOT....I read last 2 lines of those 11 questions & ticked 1 answer & moved on...maybe if I had not panicked & timed myself & stayed calm,I'd have scored close to 90....but am still VERY VERY HAPPY & THANKFUL TO ALLAH!
ALL HE BEST TO EVERY 1!!
Love to ALL,
Saira.

I've been a silent watcher on this website for the past 4-5 months. I started studying for step 2ck from june 1st and took the exam on july 18th. I took the kaplan course in the city, did the kaplan qbank and uw. I read all the kaplan books twice. I got an 85 on step 1. believe me....i'm the avg. guy that worked hard and would look at this website day in and day out trying to see where i sit. My main goal was to get maylea score considering my practice scores were very similar to hers.
Kaplan qbank - 67%
UW - 63.75%
USMLE CD - 42 39 39 = 85%
NBME 2 (I noticed everyone did this one) - 510
real exam - 246/99
