Does anyone know of any correlation that exists between the cumulative performance on Kaplan Step 2 QBank and the actual Step 2 exam? Thanks!
 
I don't know that you'll find any real statistics on this, though it actually might make for an interesting study. I think that Qbank is best viewed as a learning tool rather than a prognosticator of your real-world performance. Go through the entire thing, and take the time to review topics that you're a bit rusty on.

That being said, from personal experience and that of my friends, a consistent 60-65% on Qbank is an excellent indication that you will pass Step II. I'd say that a consistent 75% (with no cheating!) will likely place you within the upper quartile if you're not someone who freaks out when it comes to the real thing.

Best of luck! :luck:
