Why not? Is it just to make more money off of students?

I'd buy them :thumbup:.

Yep thats exactly why. One person will buy it and burn it for thousands of people.They would lose a lot of money.

But there's already copies on torrents, ebay, craigslist, etc

Personally, I'd rather buy a copy from Kaplan, knowing it's been updated.

Then again, there's always Falcon's Step 2 CK online videos.

There arent new videos available for step 2 ck.The new videos are streamed at kaplan facilities. The stuff going around on ebay etc are old videos.

You're absolutely right that accessing Kaplan's current video lectures ensures that you receive fresh, accurate and high-quality material, not to mention legal.

Additional advantages of center prep are studying among peers, with an invaluable support system, assessment and simulated exams and "Match Class", an exclusive service to help students stay on track through the residency process. You cannot download this kind of experience!

Have you tried www.medivisionfilms.com
They have a series of 58 DVDs for purchase - all based on real patients with real pathology - the series covers the examinations of all the major systems, plus a great series on infectious diseases and oral medicine
They even have a subscrition site for short youTube style clips of physical signs
I recommend you at least have a look at it and make your own mind up

You can't download it, but I bet very few people would bother using it. It's more something extra just to add to make people feel they're spending $3400 for a reason.

I got an offer from Falcon for 12 months of video access for $2100. That "extra" isn't worth $1300, I can guarantee it.

There are many options out there, and each person's needs are different. Some do much better in a community.

BTW, If anyone is interested in (free) study tips, please let me know. I send them out all the time, and just need an email address and what Step.

They are totally worth buying http://www.tracker-data.com/data/img/4015/m09d0317xktz/2.gif
