Kaplan Qbank USMLE

Ok, here is the deal.. short and sweet..
I just took Step 1, got a 179/72..
My studying sources were:
Kaplan Live Lectures
Kaplan Q-bank
USMLE World
First Aid

I plan on retaking the examination in March. I was thinking about taking the PASS program, but I'm not sure about it. Should I take PASS or just bust my butt for the next two months and add some more study sources (less first aid, which was my main study source)?

Probably too late, but I'm sure wherever you are, you are studying hard. Well, you have the right resources. I would suggest you spend more time doing USMLE World. Do the questions more than once, and try and do the shelf exams as well. Read explanations carefully, and continue to strive for the best. I believe you can do a lot better. Kaplan lectures are actually good enough, but if you are a classroom person, PASS isn't bad. Even kaplan classroom is a plus as well. All the best buddy.
