what's with all the type-o's?? i mean did they not proof read this thing at all? makes it feel kind of cheap and thrown together.. UW for step1 had almost no type-o's with very few errors. the one for step2 is filled with type-o's in the answer explanations, sure it doesn't matter as long as i get the point and learn from it, but still i feel like it's unprofessional and makes the qbank feel kind of cheap.

Also some q's are impossible to answer cause they just don't give any useful info and then they talk about all these "clues" to the answer which wasn't listed in the question stem at all. or they'll have the exact same question scenario but the answers will be different for the two, and they give some B. S. explanation on why the answer is different.. i am talk about the two OBGYN q's with decels that start at the beginning of a contraction and one answer is early decel due to head compression, and the other is variable decel due to umbilical cord compression.. WTF!!!
 
I agree, USMLE World not only has typos but some of the answers are just wrong! that being said USMLE WORLD is still the best Q bank out there.
If you would like to share what questions you think are incorrect PM me
 
I couldn't agree more!!! It really gives the qbank less credibility and makes me wonder if I am learning any correct points here. Many questions contradict themselves and their explanations are terrible and extremely vague. I looovveed them for Step 1 but they are really falling short of my expectations for Step 2.
 
USMLEWORLD is far better than Kaplan's Qbank. No one likes typos but I think you have to evaluate these qbanks in relative terms. I can deal with a few typos if it provides more in depth and detailed explanations. And I don't recall any of the explanations being incorrect. I think World' did a good job in regards to its accuracy
