You can correlate UW score with real exam socre here.
UW cumulative socre( unused , time mode) of 70 should work for above 90 in real exam.
Most people start with 50 in UW but they can reach above 70 near the end. I have done both Kaplan and UW and got UW score less than Kaplan.
I am taking exam in end of september. According to seniors, real exam is not as hard as UW overall. But it has 30% of questions with the same difficulty level with UW.
Hope this help.

Nice to come across perhaps one of the most commonly encountered dilemas of a Med Student aspiring to practice in the US, (particularly IMG's).
I haven't taken my steps yet but some of the good students in my class took kaplan and studied for 6 months and guess what?...all 3 of them did poorly.
Then I came across ppl who did really well but went about it in a different way. They first comprehensively covered the best non-kaplan books out there and they had a very interesting gameplan for that.
For every subject they had a good, moderately long text book for reference and combined it with the best review book for that subject.
Once they knew those books (atleast the review books) back to front they proceeded to the kaplan course.
They said the basic idea is to utilize kaplan for answering questions and that the reading material was secondary.
What I feel is that most ppl who end up doing badly concentrate too little on solving questions offered by kaplan and instead, devote most of their time to reading.
There is, howewver, one major drawback to this approach. It will take you a looonnnggg time and I think this a venture that ppl who can spare such time may undertake.
Then again I may be suggesting an exaggerated approach based on wrong assumptions because there are lotsa ppl who did well by just doing kaplan.
I just feel it all depends on effectively utilizing kaplan and it is definitely true alot of dedicated and hardworking students are lost because of them not pursuing the right strategy.
What really wins here at the end is startegy, since I feel that most ppl who take the boards are pretty hardworking.
