Hi everyone,

I'm on this site religiously and would appreciate any input....well, here's my question: I have kaplan qbank IV (got it from a friend), is that sufficient for the usmle or should I register with kaplan to get qbank online? is there many differences between the two?

Thanks! 😀

IMHO, Kaplan IV is not representative of the actual exam and is much easier than Q bank as well. With IV, you can figure out the answer based on the previous question. It's a good learning tool, but no substitute for the actual Q bank.

I felt that Q bank was the best part of my preparation for USMLE step 1. The shear volume of questions is fantastic and I found it to be a reliable source of
well-written question. Too many sources have poorly written questions.

So I would recommend getting Q bank.
