A-Kaplan...It is more difficult than the actual exam, and has some questions in an outdated format, but it is the best and a great source for reviewing answers

i prefer usmleworld, i use both kaplan and usmleworld in 2ck and compare them, usmleworld is more close to the actual exam. However, i use kaplan q book for my step 3 as well but still focus usmleworld.. it is actually depend on individual.. the final pt is, the more questions u do, the better, it won't do any harm!

Practically the same with several differences, but the qbanbk on the web is closer to the real exam. The Qbook is better to review questions and their answers, at least I applied all this to step 3.

If just read only details of the answers from usmle world and also read lectures notes from KAP books and then do kap q bank what do you think wud it be worth .what percentage shud be from q bank to be on the safer side in real exam i can understand it is v hard to estimate but any idea

It is really worthy, but not to the point that these questions will come in the actual exam, but because since you reviewed all the possible answers, right and wrong answers, and you got used to the question format, if you do all that you say you would, it will help you a lot

Exactly! One should always go thoroughly when reviewing the Kaplan or UW Qbank, read all the explanations provided even if you answered the questions correctly, take your time, as when it come to pass the test you need to be 100% ready. GL
