Hello,
I wanted peoples' opinions on the quality of questions offered by USMLEworld, aka UW. For example, how do the UW questions compare to the questions on the actual Step 2-CK exam, with regards to difficulty? What about length? What do people think of studying by using UW as one's ONLY source of preparation, and just referencing text/review books as needed? A friend of mine did that and scored very well, so I wanted others' opinions on this. Finally, what do people think of the "rule of thumb" used to convert between UW scores and one's score on the actual Step 2-CK exam?
The conversion is as follows: 2.3(UW percentage) + 84.
Thus, an average of 50% on UW would predict a score of 199 on Step 2. I've heard people say this formula is a bit generous and tends to over-estimate peoples' scores. Please comment. Thanks!
