Hello everyone,

I am currently doing random blocks of 50 questions from BSS (Board Simulator series) CD that I have. Can any body suggest whether it is absolutely essential to do some other CD like Question bank or usmle world. Also, usmle world is cheaper and has lots of questions as I see from the postings in this forum. Is usmle world good for the step 1 exam? I have just 30 days now and wan to select the best resource.

Thanks to Royal George and everybody who patiently reply everybody's questions.

May we all pray for each other, in this New Year for all our dreams to come true. Let this Year and all the other Years to come be filled with love and happiness.

Thank you very much.

There is no UW for step1. So best is Kaplan Q-Bank.

Hey SM123 ,

from what I´ve heard Kaplan´s QBank is supposedly the best question-pool for Step 1, and worth the expenses. For Step 2, however, I have met alot of people that thought USMLE World´s QBank was far superior than Kaplan´s.

Since I haven´t taken my Step 1 yet, I can´t tell you whether the questions are similar to the Kaplan questions - but maybe someone who´s taken it will read this and can answer this question (I´m sure that alot of us would really like to find out how the questions compare to the real exam !)...
