Okay, so I've seen reading, seeing and hearing a lot of things about Kaplan's review books (not just the Q-book but the whole package deal!) and USMLEWorld.com. I wanted to do a survey regarding these review materials.

As we all know, a lot of IMGs are in need of tips on what review material to use. So, I'm starting a forum about it. Which is better? Choose from the following below:

1. Kaplan review books (not just the Q-book)
2. Kaplan Q-books only
3. Kaplan review packages (comprehensive, basic, etc.)
4. First Aid for the USMLE Steps
5. Road maps (various subjects)
6. USMLEWorld.com (online review/exam)


Please leave a comment below, stating your preference. You can give other answers aside from the ones enumerated above. Please give a reason why you prefer that kind of review materials. Is it because it's more flexible? Is it because it gives you better time management? Is it cheap/expensive? How reliable and accurate is it? Did it improve your grade or was the result otherwise? How did you come across it? What made you decide to use it for your USMLE review?

There are no wrong answers to this discussion. You can give a short answer or a very long answer. You can answer the questions above, or you can post your own reasons.

Let's help our fellow IMGs. Thank you very much in advance for your participation!

IMGs rock!!!

Arun, hello!

I do remember you. The ones that I posted as answers to your questions are the only things I know with regards to the GS residency training program in the US. I do not have a wide knowledge regarding the GS system. I'd advise you to ask for more input from the other IMGs who made it in GS in the US. That way, you'll have a more accurate data that will help you decide what to do next in this USMLE journey that you are currently contemplating.

Hope that helped somewhat. Good luck!
