Seems like the score took your breath away, now speechless it's hard to write.

Or another newbie getting 99? Let's see. Hopefully, I'm mistaken cool

and he will let us know how to score high.

Guys Plz Y Do u Bother abt a PErson who has no Decency to post their Experience this is not a Experience this is a Score Reporting.

Remember U Ppl Set the Trend if u allow ppl to post like this then they will keep on coming and coming till they get bored.

will here is the thing... for every person there is a way of studing that works well for him..my kaplan q bank score was low because that was 2 month before the exam and I wan't studing enough yet missed a lot of qs because I didn't study these parts enough..the big important thing in this exam is the FA........ not kaplan note in my openion kaplan notes have way too mush info that are not necessary and they missed some important stuff ...FA has the right amount of info..take care for some mistakes in the book ..I did FA about 2-3 times depending on the branch..I did kaplan notes before that about 1-2 times depending on the branch.. specialy neuro anatomy and immunology I only read the summeries once or twice..because I realized that this is way too mush for my brain to handle and I should study more the FA
the only part u should study from kaplan is the genetics specialy the first part before the bio..
UW was very tricky..I love these guys they test ur IQ more than they test ur info.. maybe that helped me in my exam alot.......... about the exam.. if u remain calm ..u wlii get very high score.. if u go with ur first impression u will score high...the exam has alot of straight forward qs and some very imposible qs..
I did step 2 before and I only got 91..thou my nbme was 650..that because I was so nervous in the real exam
thats about it..and remember these rules are difrent from one person to another.. some people did kaplan 3 times and goljan path and FA...and got very high scores as well

to uw qs... I did them randomly not timed or tuter mode that was after I read kaplan 2 times and FA once .....before that I did the kaplan q bank same mode and i was reading FA in the same period..
time line
8 month before I started the kaplan was studing 1 hr a day ..lol then finished about 4 month before the exam.. then did my incomplete second kaplan read ..2 month before exam started my FA first read with Qbank......1 month before started my seconed read of FA and the UW finished it in 15 days and did the nbme ... some parts of FA for 3rd time(bio..micro..immuno)
about the kaplan q... there is people with a brain of 6 TB of memory that can store the whole KAplan books.. I am not one of them these people gets 99/265 maybe ..all I have is a good processor lol I used doing the FA and it worked 4 me I don't know about other people.. every one should use his strong points..
