Hi panky,
i didn't do nbme assessments, so can't tell you anything about that.
i already said somewhere that i don't think that anything is a must for these exams. do whatever you are comfortable with. the more questions you do, the better, so, sure, kaplan q-bank will help.
my experience with usmleworld was very positive, i did poorly with their questions in the beginning, but at the end, i was getting it correctly most of the time, i do think it's an excellent resource of mcqs.

how much time do you plan spending on questions? because if you study full time for a month, and dedicate you time to doing questions mostly,you might be able to do both kaplan and usmleworld.

good luck with your studies!

hi
i have done just 1 reading of kaplan notes & i feel that i need read them again & revise it
so i feel that each q bank will take 1 month i mean usmleworld has 1800 questions
if i do 100 a day even with reading of their answers i will end up with that near 3/4th aof the month then i have to do kaplan q bank too
i plan to taake step 2 in 1st week of august so if i delay it more then i will not get my results in september to fill out the eras application
after my step2 i have tp prepare for my step 2 cs also which is on 21 october
please help me out with it how shouyld i plan things
reply quickly

hi panky,

it's entirely up to you when you want to take the exam and how much time you need to spend reading or doing questions.

all i was going to say is that if you don't work and have all your time available for studying, it's possible to do both usmleworld and q-bank in one month, i have done it. but you going to need to do more than 100 questons a day. if you study 10 hours a day, you can do 200 questions a day, so you done with q-bank in 6-7 days and with usmleworld in 9-10 days.
you probably won't be able to revise all kaplan notes at the same time, but definitely, whatever you do poorly on, you can look up and read again. you have even more than 1 month until beginning of august, so it's all you choice.

whatever you decide to do, good luck with that!
