I am actually quite satisfied with my FA , even UW .I dont think I can take it farther than where I have brought them so far , atleast not on my own .May be a coach could guide me to take it a notch higher but on my own this is pretty much it

So how did the exam turn out for you guys?
Also, in retrospect, do you think it's a good idea to take kaplan simulation tests 1 and 2 in the last week before the exam?
I know it's a good idea to build stamina, but I'm asking regarding the similarity of concepts and question style between kaplan simulations and the real exam?

Thanks

Having done both simulations I would say...no? For stamina? Yes, do it! I did them months before my test though, I could barely get through one block of questions the day before my test. Regarding the question style, I can't honestly say the real exam looks like anything but a simplified NBME 17 with similar answer choices would be closest, concept wise, every qbank including step tests on the same concepts imo, level of difficulty? I think the Kaplan ones were more difficult tbh, this is imo.
