Hey asmi, start with kaplan n try doing it within 1 1/2 months time.....I did both kaplan and USMLEWorld, kaplan is good to start. I didn't wait to complete my reading before starting qbanks....it helped me coz i wasn't recollecting stuff which I did.....n I did pharmac, micro n biochem as I solved the other subjects so that i don't lose my track of previous studied ones.....try solving NBME as time permits u....I had solved all the forms n my score in most of the forms was 247....so I trust their scoring... I think this should help u.....is this your first exam???
