They only give you a percentage and not an actual estimate of the Step score, but they are good for seeing what your weak areas are (the diagnostic exam) and for building endurance (the simulated tests)
Well the diagnostic exam is to find your weak areas... It's recommended that you do it in the beginning of ur prep to know your strengths and weaknesses..
I haven't taken the stimulated exams yet so I can't tell you how it is..
My exam is in 3 months and my kaplan subscription ends next week
Is it pointless to take the simulated test now??, shall I take it near the exam?? Or it doesnt matter??
Is there any simulated tests i can do before the exam without having to subscribe to the whole bank??
Thanks guys
ya I am doing them , i will finish them before the week
But I am asking about the simulated 8 hours test.., can you answer my questions about it??
I will take the diagnostic to see my weakness.
Like I said before.. I am not sure abt the stimulated exam since I haven't taken it yet.. But i did take the diagnostic exam and did some of the questions frm the Qbank...
My suggestion - if you have the time then you can take the stimulated exam...
