took the exam last month
the question strength was between kap qbank (old)
and uw
its imp to just relax and focus
alot of the questions were short stemmed
there were many which were very long
its important to time your breaks
keep focus, relax and enjoy
certainly doable
good luck

Hi to all:
I took my exam on 28th of Feb. I only studied for almost a month and few days as I had a surgery in the 2nd week of January and returned home by 3rd week. I started my prep almost early 4th week of Jan and continued until my exam on 28th of Feb.....

I used Kaplan Notes and UW as main source...read kaplan 2 times and UW only once (I had that in book form). Did not do NBME or Q-bank...
I would say that exam was not tough. It's those long 9 hours that shattered your nerves very easily......Stems were moderate in length mostly 8 to 10 lines....I had a very few with 30 or more lines in them....
I would say if you will be able to concentrate, focus and relax during those 9 hours, then you will pass.......
Breaktimes:
After 2 blocks: 10 minutes
After 4 blocks: 15 minutes
After 5 block: 5 minutes
after 6 block: 10 minutes
after 7 block: 8 minutes
I had few minutes left........
Did oasis trick on 21st of March: Passed; did not get my scores yet, will let you know later......
Wish you all the very best of luck
