Can anybody who has recently taken the Step 1 tell me if the questions format/style is most similar to UW Qbank, Kaplan Qbank, NBME, etc?
Which do you think is the most similar to the actual test?
I have both UW and Kaplan banks but I find that they way the questions are quite different and I find the Kaplan questions much more difficult than UW.
Please let me know your insight on this topic and anything related you would like to add in.
Also, what order should I take the NBME forms? I haven't taken any yet and I am aiming to take my exam in end-August and want to do all of the NBMEs available but don't know what order to do them in and how to space them out over the next few months.

Thanks!

did u think the actual test was more difficult than the NBMEs that are considered to be hard? or would u say its the same level of difficulty?
did u get ur score back yet? if so was it close to what u were making on the NBMEs? u dont have to announce ur score or anything i just wanna know how far off the scores are.

@mk09 i dont think it matters what time of the year u take it. its a standardized exam so i dont think it will make any difference.
