Im an IMG, just received my score for STEP1 248/99. My exam was feb 26. I studied for 1year (working full time).Main books Kaplan,Pathology BRS(realy good), Pharmacology Lippincott's Reviews(SO So), WEBpath(Ptahology images bank, useful and free). And did a lot of questions. Here are my numbers (always new and timed blocks of 50)
usmleRx 78% complete 6 month before the test
Kaplan qbank 75% complete 3 month before...
usmle world 72% complete 3 days before....In my opinion is the best bank, very similar to the real thing
NBME 1 600 2 month before exam done without breaks
NBME 3 580 1 month before exam "
NBME 4 620 15 days before exam "
In my test the blocks 1 and 2 were pretty easy, easier than usmle world, block3 was almost imposible I can not remember one single question that I was sure of the answer, block 4 questions were not that hard but very long with a lot of labs, time was my enemy in this block, blocks 5,6 and 7 more less like usmle world. OK guys I hope my experience was useful for u and thanks so much for all your help. Good lock in your test.
