Replied by on topic usmleworld for step 2
I used it, found the disclaimer about answering 50-60% correctly as being "highly competitive" and to not be discouraged by it pretty interesting. It probably goes a bit more in depth than the actual step 2, but you know, that's gonna vary from question to question. I had a chance to look at a few questions from kaplan and in comparison, found it more challenging. but that's just a personal opinion. bottom line, i don't regret using it.

hope this helps.

Replied by on topic ya its way more specific
ya its way more specific than the actual test.....but it gives you really good explanations for the answers.....its more of a study tool than an actual representation of the real test.....but it is very good overall

I used Kaplan Step II QBank and thought it was very similar to the content of the test, with great explanations, and a slightly higher degree of difficulty than the real thing. The real Step II question stems are shorter and often the answer choices were easier to eliminate.
