USMLEWorld? NBME? Kaplan QBank? USMLE Practice Test?
Which one do you guys (recent testtakers) think is closest to the style of the exam?
Any reply is highly appreciated!
Thanks!

please anybody? What are your experiences?
58% on USMLEWorld, 75 on Kaplan QBank. Is that sufficient?
Thanks to everybody.

Even though I have not taken the test yet, (but I will in a month) I have researched the same thing.
The questions that have the most resemblance to the real thing: NBME forms.
The most correlation with final USMLE exam: Form 4 NBME
As of yet, forms 5 and 6 have not been extensively taken, so the info is insufficient.
The hardest NBME form: Form 3 NBME

Are you ready? It depends on the score that you want.
You mentioned UW 58%- this would correlate roughly to a 218.
BUT a recently matched friend of mine advise me to take the test only after scoring 70-75% on Kaplan Qbank, for which would correlate with 230 or more.
Now, all of this assumes you have taken unused, timed mode and the consistent score in the last 7 blocks of 50 questions.
Anyways, you should use Qbank and UW as learning tools and NBME forms as assessment tools.
With that in mind, I would advise you to take the NBME forms, simulating the same conditions as in the exam. And I mean at least 2 forms. Forms 2, 3 and 4 plus the free 150 questions would be best.

Hope this helps.
Best of luck.
Feel free to PM if necessary.
