Hey guys,

I wanted to start preparing for part 1 and was wondering if the online kaplan Q bank is a good place to start, or if it's good to use regardless.

Has anyone who has taken the test used the Q bank? Was it helpful?


Your help is greatly appreciated.

Kaplan class room courses are not at all useful as there are no lectures,all they do is give u the kaplan review book and u got to study on your own.They provide videos to watch which are a waste.Only positive thing is that u get an environment to study as there will be other medical students studying.If u can make up your mind to sit at home and concentrate,then dont waste money and time on kaplan classes.Rest is upto you to decide.
All the best.🙂

I have taken kaplan online Q bank, I think it creates exam enviorenment but I didnt find it that useful for the exam.......Only benefit is that you come to know the different type of qs in different subjects and by doing those qs you get direction what to read............

All the best.........

i would just say skip the kaplan Q bank.i found it to be of no use at all.
atleast "crack the NBDE" simulates the actual exam a little bit.

This comes down to the notion of, would you rather learn more than is required for the test by studying harder questions/material and in the end do better, or learn just the bare minimums and then 3 weeks after your test start a new thread called "jus gotz scor tday and gets 80. wat i did nows?" With that said I thought the Q bank was pretty helpful. I used it on the format that wasn't timed so I could answer a question and the immediately see the correct answer and the explaination right afterward. The explainations in my opinion were pretty decent and I do think it helped solidfy concepts for the real test. Take it for what it's worth.
 
Hi...If I just want past above 75 which one should I use as practice exam???
old exam? q bank or crack nbde????? I want to take in 3 weeks, and so freak out not passing this exam.....any advice? btw, is there any explaination inside the crack nbde I? Thanks!!!😍
