UsmleWorld Ques are the ones which are close to the real exam. Some of the UW ques are tough. Agreed. Only difference between UW and real exam is that the percentage of tough questions will be less in the real exam when compared to the UW Q bank. But the question style and pattern would almost be the same.

SO what kind of a score should I have on UW to make a good (240-250) 99 on the real thing?
On revision of marked and incorrect items, I am still making about 85..not so good considering my xam is 20 days away..

For unused questions, more than 60% in UW itself is a good score! How much did you score when you tried UW for the first time?

Thats a good score only. Dont worry. Revise again. You will get a 99.

Ya I agree with u. One of my friend who took exam in this april after doing world said that real exam will be easy compared to world but one should try scoring at least 50% on world. I am presently doing world and have done 3 tests with below 50% and am trying hard to acheive 50%

i think u-world really prepares u well for the exam.. the questions are of similar pattern.. what most of the guys i know and what i have experienced from my side is if u getting around 60% in u world u most propably gonna hit more than 95%, if u r getting around 65% u will hit 99% for sure.. do kaplan and u world properly if u have time u can go for the kaplan videos otherwise this much is good enough.. just stay kool during the examz thats most important.. i tell u it really tires u out... 9 hrs with the exam is really mind boggling..dont spend too much of the time with one question.. make a choice if u cant figure out much and move ahead..coz there are much more to come ahead... as for the breaks is concerned i took multiple small breaks before starting of each block say 3-4 mins atleast.. it made me feel fresh for the new block... know were the toilet is beforehand.. coz u gonna be there a lot lol... i suppose these are few small tips which might help all the best to u guys .... hit it harddd....

UW IS LOUSY- NOTE THAT I got the correct method from 4 different sources and made a compilation; please email me directly as I do not frequent this site (I'll then provide my frequent Facebook contact from there) amir_kova@yahoo.com

This is the first time I am seeing a person who says "UW is lame".. and everyone will defintely agree when I say that UsmleWorld is the most authentic and excellent qbank u can get for USMLEs.
Your "compilation" may be good.. but seriously dude, UW is good, may be better !

hello: i'm a 45 year old doctor, come from Ecuador. I just passed the step 2 ck. It was a very difficult test. I'm s glad i did the USMLE world QB and the self assesment test. The test is more like this QB than the Kaplan that i also did. A little advise: read the Step 2CK book( 4 times at least), buy the Usmle notes( read it 4 times also) in this site and you are going to do just fine! Good luck.
