USMLE Step 2 CK - Is the new Kaplan Qbank that hard
Is the new Kaplan Qbank that hard
neanne - 09-02-08 17:15

I want to know if I can skip UW, time is flying, I don't know if I can put a second qbank in my schedule. I thought Ck after step 1 was easier...well, I have to rethink all of this. I want to make it in 2009, but I want 99 to make for my step 1 score. There are so many great scores out there. And I don't have a visa, so I can't apply to many very good programs...
I applied for observership. Hopefully I'll have an answer by the end of the month.

" I thought Ck after step 1 was easier...well, I have to rethink all of this "=Yes ,that what I thought before , it may be easier than STEP 1 but there may be great difficulties .

Step 1 was 90/218. i was happy with my score at first, but i am an old graduate of 2002, and I need visa. There are such great scores out there. The competition is very hard. I have been studying for 3 weeks, but very improductively. But since 3 days, my speed has greatly improved, I plan to finish Crush by sunday

I've just started yesterday but I feel I remember nothing, something that remind me when I read the Pathology for step 1 one year ago.My eligibility period starts in January 2009 and my plan is to take it in January or February .
I begin with IM right now.
I also need a visa and I'm not very receny graduate (2006 ).

I've been studying for a month....I felt like that too at the beginning, but the key is to review with questions.

So how long it took you to leave that bad feeling ? I feel that STEP 1 is helping me so much regarding the drugs ,S&S ,infections ... etc.
How did you find crush the board ? Did you try FA ?

Done with crush...some subjects are well covered but overall too superficial. FA for step1 was more helpful.

So how did you find crush the board ? I have both FA and crush the board ,but did not start with anyone yet since I'm reading the kaplan lecture notes first .I know I should read both simultaneously but it's the beginning .

I don't start a Qbank yet .I'll do it a month before the test .I don't know which one to choose ,I tried Kaplan Qbank for step 1 with a very good score (97),they said that UW is very good .To that time I'll think about it.

king of hearts, Northwestern is relatively new thing in bussiness, so nobody will be able to tell you fore sure about it, i heard of it myself that some agencies in INDIA, which have been stripped off the association with KAPLAN, have got it from Northwestern, so things could be dicey.
