Kaplan Qbank USMLE

I noticed that for Step 1, Q bank and Kaplan's sim test scores correlate with the actual Test score; usually 10-20 points above what U get on Q-bank/Kaplan CD. I noticed this with my score and with the score of almost all of my calassmates who took step 1.
I've read in many forums that the questions in Q-bank STEP2 are easier than those on the real test. I would like to know if one can still expect a correclation between Qbank Step2 and the true score. What has your experience been, or what have you heard of others?

Thanks in advance

well that's too much odd......

cuz i used to get 60 on q-bank.....and got 99 in step-1.......

99? That's great. Congratulations! How did you use qbank? I'm just starting and did a couple of blocks of Microbiology. However, I don't know if doing blocks by subject matter first and then mixing them up later is good. What did you do? I'd appreciate your advice. And congratulations again!
