I will take teh CK in 3 weeks, i'm using the usmleworld and the nms cd, in the first i got 63%(range 52%-74%) and in the nms got 70%. I want to know if those scores are enought to have a good score in the real STEP2 CK.
PD: do you think is necessary to take the kaplan online?

Hi Eduardo, I haven't take my step 2 neither (I'm planning to do it in 2 weeks) but I think your scores are all right (some suggest that you may add 25-30 to your UW score, but I've heard the NBME is the most reliable tool)
If possible, take the NBME to assess yourself, but my advice would be to focus on UW n learn from the questions and answer rather than looking @ the scores (I know that is hard, I'm a Score guy too!!!); but I think that focusing only on numbers prior to your test will only increase your anxiety rather than helping (I think I became a score freak this last week, then decided to take it easy and practice a lot of questions)
Best of lucks and best regards
AJ

Yes, thatīs what happens to me, sometimes Iīm concerned about my UW score and thatīs not good, it creates anxiety only, you have to take those QBanks as a learning tool. Thatīs one of the reasons because Iīm not gonna take NBME.
