I would appreciate any advice regarding the qbook step 2 by kaplan. I'm planning on purchasing qbank, and i'd like to know if buying the qbook in addition to qbank would be overkill. For step 1 I used the kaplan lecture notes + qbank (I had qbook as well but didn't find it that helpful given that i had qbank)...I probably answered my own question 🙂 but I'd appreciate any advice.

The general concensus is that, for Step 2-CK, USMLEworld (UW) is clearly better than Kaplan Q-Bank. First, I'd recommend UW instead of Kaplan, though it seems as if you have already considered this question. If you're convinced that Kaplan is a better bet than UW (which most people DIS-agree with, vehemently), then I think Q-Bank would be neough by itself, which would lower the utility in purchasing Q-Book as well. Basically, as you said, you've answered your own question!
