MCCQE I = USMLE Step 3 OR 2 CK ?

[thinktank]

Hi All,

I am taking QE I this fall. Is QE I similar to Step 3 or Step 2 CK?
Background info: I am a PGY-3 in internal medicine. I took Step 3 in December' 07 and Step 2 CK in my 4th year (November' 05)... why oh why I did not take this exam soon after my step 3? 😡
Anyway, I am planning to use only ONE question bank e.g. usmleworld... which one I should subscribe to? step 3 or 2 CK bank?? Any suggestions?

Thank's much.

I would do only one (usmle world) question bank either for step 2 CK or step 3 due to time constraint (I'll be manning the MICU next week for the whole month,then wards, etc.). Which one is better to prepare for QE 1??

thank's.

I used UW step 2 for the QE1, and i passed for what its worth😀
In retrospect its a hard exam to prepare for. I guess Peds, ob and canadian nonsense should be emphasized for IM residents.
