Hello everybody.
I really need some advice since my test date is coming soon (3 weeks and a half) and i am getting really nervous!
My goal for the step 1 would be a score...let's say, 90+.
I have bought the Qbank 1 month subscription, and have an average of 76, for the first 50% of the questions...all done in blocks of 50, all random and timed.

The problem is that i am more worried as the exam day gets closer and do not know what and where to study more from...feeling like i am loosing focus! I only used Kaplan material, including lecture notes, but for the reamining time until the exam it would be impossible to read the books over again. I am concerned that doing only tests is not a good approach either!
What do you guys advise me? And, how accurate are the correlations between qbank and the score on the real exam...if there are any?
Thank you all for taking time to read all this and for your replies!

Kaplan is more than enough if you know it well. Your Q-bank scores are good. The best measure of the test is the NBME take it and see if you are scoring where you want to be. I would just revise from Kaplan the sections you feel weakest in. After you take the NBME, it will give you a breakdown of your weaker areas. You can focus on those.
