Im trying pretest now ... welllllllll confused .... i dont like it very much ... the Qs arent in the same form as the USMLE ones ... really time consuming (pdf format) ... maybe the best thing about it is the explanations ... they are clear and long enough.

just had a doubt....

is there a bluprint series qbank???

i have the pretest series....
i solved path n doing neuroscience...
they have given me a lot to learn but not exactly an assesment toll.good to know more on a certain topic but since Qs are chapterwise they can b easy to score just after a certain chapter n then due to lack of revision all the data may b lost in due course of time.
last word:good for knowledge but careful use.

Blueprints Textbook Exp Medicine can Be Used in Step 2 but For Step 1 if u r going for the Long Haul then After Evey Chapter Pretest is a Better Option Unless u write wht u learn to ur base book i.e Kaplan. I dont know abt Blueprints cos i havent used them or heard anyone use them for Step 1. but if u feel tht they r good for u then definitely go ahead and use them but Timeline and Incorporation of Material is to be then followed vigorously
