Hi:

I am using it, and finished about 70%. I also subscribed Kaplan regular Q-bank (done 50%) as well as Kaplan Internal Medicine Q-bank (done 10%).

In terms of the explanation, usmleworld is the best, however, some of the answers are obviously wrong.

In terms of the difficulties, Kaplan IM is the hardest, in terms of the length, questions are really long. Kaplan Q-bank is a bit too straight forward, usmleworld is very appropriate. I used usmleworld for my Medicine shelf, and I honored it (raw 84).

For Step 2, I am still seeking for advice.

Please tell me what you think.

Thanks and Good Luck to your study.

I believe this IM bank is brand new. I am doing it, and find it very helpful.

If you are going to subscribe, please let me know what you think? cos' pretty much I am the first one using it among my colleagues in school. They all used the regular Kaplan CK Q bank, but find it not too helpful for the reason I stated above.
