Kaplan Qbank USMLE

  #1

Someone please help me. I am going crazy at this point. I am doing Usmleworld question. I bought this 3weeks ago and have only completed 18% of the question bank. The problem is that after doing question and i try to read all the explanations(from the start till the stop weither i got it right or wrong), however, once i finish expl on one question and move to another one,i don't remember what i had gone thru previously. so i started writing down every single explanation which is why it is taking me too long to finish the question bank. I am going naughts right now and i only have sept and oct for my eligibility period to end. What should i do people. am i retarded or what? This step 1 has been a big challenge for me. I passed step 2ck and cs already but this one is choking me. Please someone tell me what to do. My plan was to go thru the question bank at least twice and then go back and review Goljan again and read HY mol-biology and Neuro. Someone advice me on what to do with this UW question bank. please if you have any input or doing Usmleworld now or did UW before your exam and can leave me your e-mail address, i will e-mail you for advice. I am in Dallas, TX(Richardson, farmers branch area), if you are doing UW or any question bank and wants to work with me. Please leave your e-mail and i will definitely contact you. Please Doctors respond, one of you is going Crazy. Thanks in advance for your positive response. Goodluck with your studies and remember one day our lights will shine. Amen

Here's my 2 cents. I did not buy USMLE World, but I did have Kaplan Qbank, so I can't really give you an advice from UW point of view. However, I could share my experience on Kaplan Qbank. Some of the Qbank explanations are pretty long too, so I guess you could apply this to UW.

At one point during my studying time, I had the same feeling as you did with the fact that I had to write down every single explanation. It took me too long. So, I decided to just read the ones that I got wrong and the ones that I got correct but I actually wasn't 100% sure when first time reading them . This way cerrtain went quicker for me and actually worked for me. For the questions I got right, I already knew why I got correct, so why bother reading the explanation again? It just made me bored.

Please take my advice with a grain of salt as I'm pretty sure other people would rather read every explanation. It just didn't work me. I just reviewed my FA, Kaplan books, BRS, Goljan over and over again and test myself with the questions.

I hope that helps
