We don't have statistics on how students perform on Step 1 with or without materials. However all of the evidence from our student surveys does show that students scoring above a 235 on Step 1 are answering on average between 4,000 - 5,000 questions.

We recommend spending twice as much time reviewing explanations as you do answering questions. That means about 4.5 mins per question.

We would also recommend using a Qbank in conjunction with your second year of medical school and answering questions related to what you are learning in school to reinforce what you are learning and to help you see the board relevance of your medical school course work. This might mean only 10 questions a day, 5 days a week but if you maintain this pace throughout your second year you will be in good shape come your dedicated study period.

Although Step 1 will always be a basic science exam in nature, many upperclassmen have stated the test has gotten more clinical in nature. Does your Step 1 Qbank include enough treatment/management questions to reflect these changes?

 

[mj1988]

How would you recommend the qbank be used alongside class for m1 yr if a student wanted to use it to reinforce learned topics?

 

[Kaplan Medical]

Although Step 1 will always be a basic science exam in nature, many upperclassmen have stated the test has gotten more clinical in nature. Does your Step 1 Qbank include enough treatment/management questions to reflect these changes?

Yes, we are continually reviewing our Qbank and updating or replacing questions that are no longer exam relevant. In fact all of the questions are reviewed at least once a year to ensure they reflect the latest trends in the exam.

 

[Kaplan Medical]

How would you recommend the Qbank be used alongside class for m1 yr if a student wanted to use it to reinforce learned topics?

We think using Qbank in conjunction with your M1 year is a great idea as it really does help you to see the board relevance of your medical school course work. We'd recommend you answer 10 Qbank questions 5 days a week throughout your M1 year or least during the second half of of your M1 year. Quizzes should be created based off the system and/or discipline your currently studying in class while occasionally adding content from previous classes to the question pool.

For the next few days (until EOD 4/30) we are offering 18 months of access to our Qbank for the price of 12. To enroll visit http://enroll.kaptest.com/shoppingcart?classids=1004202769.

If your'e an AMA member enter your ME # during checkout for the lowest possible price.

I am actually very happy that you responded to my question and I think your may have already answered my next question. The "til you test option" is for 18months? Or really until you test . Thanks for your help!

[Kaplan Medical]

Until your test = 12 months (note that you can delay start date by 3 months). However, as stated in the thread we are running a action right now for the 18-month Qbank for the 12-month (Until your test) price.

Thanks for the information!

I took a Kaplan course to prepare for my MCAT and I loved it! The instructor was very helpful and the resources helped me attain the score I wanted in order to successfully apply to med school. Now that I will be attending med school next fall, I would love to continue to use Kaplan resources in order to help me prepare for the Step 1. Thank you Kaplan!

Hi Kaplan.
Being an IMG I totally depend on Kaplan. My question is do u have discounts available for step 1 q bank only apart from this? I also want to know how an IMG can get qbanks at a cheaper rate.

 

[AshNiffler]

Is there a correlation between the simulation exam scores (1&2) separately and the real step 1 score? Like say an 80% on first simulation exam?

 

[doc-Oc]

hi kaplan, i was wondering how long does the q bank free demo last?

ps: kaplan is awesome!

 

[barsoum.michael]
