Dear all, is it possible the real step 2CK to be as easy as the orientation CD??? or should I wait for something much harder at the exam? I have to admit that the USMLE World questions are challenging most of the times. Kaplan Q-book is easier but still harder than the orientation CD... Which one is closer to the real thing?? Any opinion/speculation appreciated Thanks!

well, my opinion is to expect the hardest so if you got it easier no one will hurt, much better than expecting the easiest and getting the shock in the exam ...just my opinion

CD is too easy, Kaplan q-book is too easy. Expect a UW kind of test. But if you study enough, you'll read about the same object over and over again, and you'll know the answer. Good luck!

Ok, thanks to everybody What do you guys think is a 'good score' (= passing score) for the UW? In the CD I got 40/46 42/46 and 44/46 but in the UW I can only score around 60-65%.... Taking the exam in 3 weeks- Is that a passing score? hope yes... Thanks!!!

Yes, it is passing, I would say 88+. Keep studying and taking notes, no new information during the last 2 weeks. I think you'll do more than OK!
