Kaplan Qbank USMLE



Author3 Posts
  #1

hi im new to this site. i wanted to ask for your help on my exam. i recently failed my step 1 and wanted to ask u guys what are the best review questions yall consider to practice before the exam. ive done 3 months of QBANK 100% of the questions and got a cumulative score of 75%. and was scoring in the upper 70s and low 80s for majority of the last month on 50 question random exams. i thought i was doing fairly well but only got a 173/72 on my real exam.

i felt that after doing so many qbank questions that i got used to the format and was answering questions on repeating concepts over and over. i need to study for the exam over again but am worried that i might have already memorized most of the questions and answers. i scored well on my nbme at least enough to pass. and thought i would do well on my exam. i know i couldnt fall asleep the day before my exam but still thought i knew enough to pass at least. also i had alot of molecular questions which i totaly underestimated.

what do yall think is the best bank of questions in my situation? i really need help in molecular bio so also if you guys knnow what are the best books for learning it and the best review questions to do it from. i founf on my exam that the molecular questions i was getting wasnt even remotely similar to kaplan qbank molecular questions. has anyone tried pretest molecular? usmleworld, usmlerx, or FA?

thanks your support is greatly appreciated!

i think you should drop qbank and qbook for your sec attempt or do it only as a review tool and not for assesment of ur progresss

you can try

usmleworld
pretest series
kumar and corton review of pathology
NMS

stick to your books and revise them as many times as you can ! be honest to your self if you dont know the stuff dont rush rather spend some time until ur confident that u know ur things!

all the best
