Kaplan Qbank USMLE



Author2 Posts
  #1

Hey guys, I really need your help. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I recently found out that I got a 174 (before that a 172). I have been using Kaplan books (2001 edition), Dr. Goljan's notes and CD, did Q-bank, did some questions of the NMS book, read First Aid. My cummulative Q-bank score was a 63%. I knew it wasn't a good score but I didn't have any more time to extend my test, so I took it. I also did the NBME 1 and got a 400 a month before the test. Studied some more took the NBME 2 and got another 400. The NBME score did not make a good correlation with the actual score . I actually did not feel that bad during the test. I have no clue what to do now. Should I switch books? Is it the way I study? Should I look for another question source that is not Q-bank? I tend to stick with the same books and review them over and over, but obviously this hasn' t worked. Does anyone need a study partner? Please help me. I need to beat this test. After doing a lot of crying, now I'm angry. I'm ready to focus that anger into studying. Please, can anyone help me?

Any input will be appreciated.

hey asterixis

im sorry to hear tat u havent been scoring well but it doesnt mean tat u should loose hope

well for the books tat ur preparing from they seem ok im preparing from the same books kaplan notes ,hy,brs n from wat i hav heard q-bank is the best book to test ur skills u dont need to change tat
wat seems to be ur problem is tat i guess u hav over exhausted ur self n tats one reason tat u havent been doin good in ur exmas u need to over come this exhaustion n try to compose ur self

u said tat u want to put ur anger in to ur studies it wont help u infact it will make u go deep in to troubles so pal relax n try to compose ur self
there is no need to do the stuff over n over again becose too much suger is also bad for health so just relax try to go thru ur notes once again memorise them n when u feel tat ur done then take the test

best of luck in the future n i guess u should get the new kaplan edition becose u hav the old edition n there might be some new additions in the new ones u never know so try to get update
