Does anybody know when Kaplan plans to update their Qbank with the FA 2012 pages? This is going to play a factor as to whether I will be using 2012 vs. 2011. If this info isn't out yet, does anybody know roughly when Kaplan Qbank started incorporating FA 2011 pages last year? Thanks 🙂

I'm not sure if you mean USMLE Rx, cuz I thought they were the only ones to reference first aid?

If thats the case, I emailed them, I was told they would begin to update this month, and the process would take a few months.

The 2011 page numbers are really not as inconvenient as I thought they would be.

He means kaplan, they reference first aid in most of their questions. And yes it is a huge PITA that they haven't updated for 2012.
 
I believe they will be updating it around March. (Kaplan rep came to our school).
They are working on it now but its obviously a pain going through 2200 questions finding the page. Previous updates on FA weren't as big as this.

That sucks. My school does step1 in april and I'm starting kaplan now.
 
This is one of the reasons why I bought a 2011 edition of FA. Even when they do update the Qbank with 2012 they will leave the 2011 pg. references on there as well, so you won't have to switch in the middle of your studies (they reference the last 3 or 4 editions of FA on every question)

They finally updated the kaplan high yield videos with 2012...that was incredibly annoying. I used to have my 2011 out at the same time trying to figure out where they were in the video. I stopped using the kaplan Qbank a long time ago, but now that they've updated the videos perhaps the Qbank will come shortly?

I must say I prefer my 2012 over dealing with this temporary hassle... I can't believe so many schools take it this early! I thought we were early...
