Kaplan Vignettes compared to QBANK??????

[Peeshee]

Hi, for those who have done both the Kaplan Vignettes and the Kaplan QBANK, how would you compare them? Would you recommend doing both or one or the other? If someone has already done QBANK, would you recommend doing the vignettes, since some of the QBANK questions are repeated?
Thanks!

For Step 1? QBank is definitely a must, but the Integrated Vignettes I'd only use if you are all done with QBank and want more questions to do. IV questions are much easier, though, and since you get several questions on each vignette, once you've got the initial diagnosis it's all pretty straightforward.

If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't have shelled out for the month of IV.

If you get done with QBank, there are much better resources than IV.

NMS, Goljan's Rapid Review, Robbins Path, WebPath, Blueprints First Aid Q&A, to name a few. They vary in quality, but are better than IV IMHO.
