Kaplan Qbank USMLE

hi,
i got my results 3 months back...it was the biggest shock to me as i had done all the possible things for this exam ---i had 3 revisions with mykaplan's notes, solved q bank, q book, nms and got good scores on my practice tests too.even the the simulated test by ecfmg was gr8 with an average of 75%qts right. my average overall score on q bank was 73-75% right answers and in the end failed by 6 points---176.
plz. if u have suggestions on how to deal this and also in case u feel i have points to improve with, lemme know.

Dear Nitivb

You can not only improve but u deserve acing the test. It was just a bad day and forget about it. I am sure u will score in 90s if u take the test just after a month. I know you might not be feeling like studyin but all you need now is brush up the same qbanks u did and I think qs will also be from the same lot that u got in the test. So, you have the maximal advantage anybody can have. Failing for 6 points would prove lucky for you when you take the test again. I wish you all the best and I am sure you will do great.
Though I havent taken the test yet and will be taking on 23rd august but giving advice is our birthright in this forum :lol:

hi, thanx for the advice but i was wondering if i could get some new resources to study as those that i have done ---i pretty much know them now. and also best of luck for ur exams!!!

hello,
it would definitely be heart breaking for u.consider ur self lucky that u flunked instead of getting scores in 70s. although i havnt taken the exam yet but i would suggest that now u do the qs only as u had already gone thru the theory thrice. also consider doing usmle world mcqs as i ahve heard its mcqs are harder then kaplan's. do them atleast twice b4 the exam take the 3 months course. i can imagine u wont be feeling like studying at this moment. take ur time .make a list of ur weak points and work on those area.
all the best.
