Hi all,

Just got my score after 4 weeks of nervously waiting and there is it 94 (233). pretty close to what I was estimated . I studies for about 4-5 month on and off , material I used was mostly kaplan books and USMLE world Qbank(worth every cent of it). exam questions were more like UW and longer. the only pices of advise I have is to train ur brain for 9 hours of tourcher.

Good luck all and thanks for making this Forum

thank ky, I have to say I was pretty confident which is the only I find in myself that I can do well wink

and I had my goal set for above 90..the exam was really tough lots of long long questions and I missed 3-4 questions to read in total. objectives were very close towards UW questions. I had my exam on nov 6 and got my result yesterday. I wish you best as well

UW altho very good for the prep itself, isnt that good a tool when it comes to score prediction ... i would suggest u take one of the nbme exams and see how u score ... there is a correlation of the nbme score with the usmle 3 digit scores ... if u want to know the predictive 2 digit, u can go to the score thread on this forum and see if someone has the same 3 digit and look for their 2 digit score ...

good luck for the exam ... grin

The best predictor is NBME, but UW questions are close to exam objectives so read the explanation for each question over and over untill you undrestand it and know it by heart.

Good Luck

my average score for UW was 62% but I didn't take the score seriously, I used UW as a learning material because I think it covers the objectives of Step 2 CK very well.

I have to say the correlation between score in usmle and NBME are pretty close ( by 2 to 3), but the big difference is the lenght of the questions in real exam.

Best of Luck

I took two nbme but I didn't finished it ontime so my score is biased , I scored one with 540 and the other one 670

not sure , certainly not 670 wink

.. i took the average nbme results from the forum. as I mentioned mine were biased because I didn't finished them on time. but look at the other thread (Step 2 CK result) you can have a better feeling about this correlation.

Lisa,

I would finish UW first and read the explanations. Kaplan Qbank is easier than real exam. I would only focus on Kaplan books and UW

I read the kaplan books 2-3 times and then had my UW , then went back to books and read about what I missed in UW question objectives and make a small note from UW explanations.
