I have done reading all my notes. I would like to do both Kaplan and UWorld. Which one to start 1st?? I know most of them start with Kaplan.

But since Kaplan is more closer to real exam, should I keep it to the last??

I'm confused.

There's a similar poll about Step 2 CK Qbanks here

I think UW is closer to the exam so you should start with Kaplan

I think this is a question of which one is nearer to the exam. Many recent takers are saying that Kaplan is closer to the exam, it's not like before when UW was closer

I think kaptest is to be done before uworld. Because uworld is more important but a bit harder than kaptest. So if you do kaptest, you should be ready to go for uworld.

Thanks for ur input, but I heard that recently Kaplan qbank is harder than the real exam though UW is still closer too the real exam. Is it correct ?

I read in First Aid that kaptest is closer to the exam and uworld is a bit hard. And its kinda true, I did kaptest before uworld, kaptest has straightforward questions, uworld, which I started recently is very conceptual, some of the questions just make your head spin.

Some of my seniors even went to the extent of suggesting doing kaptest offline and doing uworld online more than once.
