so, just do it,
the new kaplan bank is definitely more difficult. still not comparable with UW, right?
What kind of score one should get in Kaplan bank, 70%? to get 90's?

Hi muzammil
yes, I watched the kaplan dvd's for stp 2 ck. they r good.
And for the complete details of the study materials I used for my prep---look into my previous posts in this thread.
I will be glad to answer any other doubts.
You can give stp 2 ck by june/ july, if u study full time.
GL and Happy studying!

Hi webjeee
Yes, Kap Q bank is almost as good as UW.
I got 74 % IN KAP q BANK. I think a 70 % score in Kap Q bank should be good for a 90 plus on real exam.
Before the exam--Study hard and then on the exam day--b cool and concentrated and after the exam---trust god and relax !
Have a great prep!
GL!

In Reply to a P.M
Dear friend---As you said, I am posting the reply here---
I think you r mistaken abt my steps from my previous posts!!!!!!!
Anyways,I did not get 99 in step 1. I am a woman, not man & 99 was my score in stp 2 ck, not stp 1.I may not be the right person to advise abt stp 1 prep. But, I will say abt the methods I followed for stp 2 ck.
1) I first watched kap dvd's , then read kap notes and then UW, in a particular subject all in a sequence. While I was doing UW or reading kap notes, we ( my friend and me ) clarified each others doubts by discussions. lastly, kap Q bank and then nbme exams.
2)I some times used to record in my cell phone , some facts and figures that just needed lot of memorization and kept listening to them during free times. Also, I used the white board for the same purpose.
3)Method of answering Q---I would suggest you to read the test-taking strategies from the initial pages of Kap Q book
4) Q banks ---UW and Kap Q bank.
use Q to analyse and interpret the concepts, which in turn will help u to understand and ace that topic.
Hope this helps!
GL for your steps !
just do it.
My friend's post-----"Heartly congratulation for a 99in usmle step 1.u rocked the boards man.well my problem is this that i dont retain huge material like kaplan 7 books 500 pages each .i just dont understand how people remember everything in kaplan . how did u retained so much material
-what was your technique of remembering things for long times?
-what was your study style?
I know i always ask this question to lots of 99ers but still searching that works best for me .i think that even if we read 10 times each kaplan passively i will not be able to retain well what is the technique u guys follows.
2) did u used kaplan dvd how did u used it
3)what was your method/approach of answering questions
4)what all qbank did u used
I am frustrated that even after studying 8-10 hrs/day I do not perform well on examination. Please advise me on some tips that worked well for you. I am willing to try practically anything.''
