is it just me or does usmlerx seem a lot easier than qbank? has anyone who used usmlerx gotten their step 1 scores? just wondering what the correlation between step 1 score and usmlerx score is....also is anyone else having problems accessing the usmlerx question bank? it seems like every time i take a test the screen freezes. the site must be really slow.

Everybody keeps saying that USMLERx is so much easier, but I'm scoring the same average on Qbank. The qbank is less straightforward and I guess on more, but my guessing seems to be accurate. Anybody else?

It is pretty slow. On one of the blocks it stopped working & internet explorer froze up so I ended up only finishing 1/2 the questions & getting a 40 or something. I've completed 4 random 50 q blocks in usmlerx:
82, 82, 84, 86

The last 4 I've done on Kaplan I scored:
72, 82, 78, 83

So for me usmlerx is a little easier but not much. The ones I miss on Kaplan are the wacky behavioral science questions & obscure facts. The ones I miss on usmlerx are stuff I didn't read/remember carefully in first aid or questions that require I lot of critical thinking.
